Maybe this will teach Incognito that when you act like a complete douchecanoe on and off the field, people will be more likely to believe the worst about you.
Did I miss something. The entire "I'll kill your family" was just a dog meme that martin sent incognito. Why didn't incognito's team release these texts earlier?
understatement. Saw on another website these following texts. "I miss your stinky armpits" "I miss us" WTH seriously. These guys had to be on the DL or something. Grown men just dont talk to each other like this.
This is my crazy theory about the entire thing. I think Martin and Incognito were bisexual or had "tendencies". I think Martin's parents found out or someone threatened to expose Martin's relationship with Richie. Martin turned to the bullying angle out of desperation because he wants to stay in the closet. One lie leads to another and here we are. I believe the unreleased text messages convey more intimate messages and that may have been the reason Richie did not release these texts until now because of the contents of those unreleased ones

With the release of these texts....I find it much harder to believe any GM or locker room is going to want to bring in Martin.
Can't believe no one here has pointed out that Martin's mom is one of the most successful lawyers, specifically in the "harassment in the workplace" department. Just makes this whole thing even more fishy.

He sounds like a whiney teenager. What a ****ing loser. Too bad Antonio didn't smash this guys face in. So annoying.
I would like to think Incognito would take the high road, but lets not forget his career was possibly ruined and he has become a hated figure in large part because of Martin.
Man, just when we thought maybe this story was dying down a bit, Richie goes and throws more fuel on the fire. I'm sure Brian Hartline loves that he was dragged into it with that mention as well.
LOL..... professional athletes and their twitter... If I was an athlete I wouldn't use twitter.. Haha..
If you have a lawyer, why the hell wouldn't you use him to issue a coherent, thorough press release instead of going on twitter? The PTI dudes had a theory that this was Incognito reacting out of anger after finding out he is basically done as an NFLer and the league is going to sanction the crap out of him. The investigation goes a lot deeper than just the text messages between the two (which admittedly paint them as just jock co-workers, if not drinking bros), but I'm guessing, overall, Martin always tried to fit in, prove himself, and go along with Incognito's bullying... and Incognito is so dumb he couldn't tell the difference. Martin finally snaps, blasts Incognito with both barrels, and Incognito thinks his "best friend" betrayed him. It's like an abusive marriage. The abuser typically doesn't recognize themselves as the ***hole they really are. Their behavior to them seems completely normal and acceptable. The abusee, in this case, probably didn't see much of a way out of it... so on the cycle went until... boom went the dynamite.
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...lease-announcing-release-of-ted-wells-report/ Enjoy retirement Incognito. You would fit in nicely in a prison, I'm sure you'll get there soon enough. Hope the Martin bashers here are proud.
