Richie Incognito is a sack of sh!t

I dunno... I still find this entire Incognito/Martin thing insanely suspicious.
Pretent your Martin for a second... you suck and your team sucks. Your career isn't one where you're going to be making a ton of money. You, maybe, aren't into it as much. you have two high powered lawyers for parents... and... you just happen to have a MOUNTAIN of "evidence" that you had been enduring a "hostile environment" in the workplace.
It all lines up just a little too conveniently.
Now... Incognito has a long history of being a d-bag but this whole Martin thing is just too suspect.
I don't know about any of you but if someone just took a long list of my text messages to my buddies or texts from my buddies to me... and/or recordings of what we say to each other over a couple beers... in a vacuum without being there in person, it would look like we were the most evil people on the planet. We purposely try to out-offend each other.
I just don't know that's I'm buying any of it or not. Again... it'll all lines up wayyyyyyyy to easily for there to be a MASSIVE lawsuit here with Martin freakin' suing EVVVVERYONE... Incognito, the Dolphins, the NFL... anyone he can get his hands on.
And I am willing to bet what was going on between Incognito and Martin is going on between 30 other guys in that locker room and then 30 guys in each and every other locker room in the league.
Exactly. It happens a hell of a lot more then we know about, this one person just decided he couldnt take it. Maybe the fact that his parents are lawyers makes him think, and gives him a chance, at winning a lawsuit though.
It happens all the time so that makes it right? Or maybe he's making a stand? Macho/tough guy BS is something stupid people do to hide insecurities. He's not trying to rip anyone off...I'm sure he'll be fine financially, not because of this but because he's smart and motivated.
So you think it's suspect to document your interactions with a person who's been abusive? It's just plain smart if you ask me. Because his parents are attorneys is probably one of the reasons it occurred to him to do so. I'm in a field of work where if you don't have it documented then it didn't happen. A shame that someone gets slammed for being smart...

If Richie Incognito was ACTUALLY picking on the guy and causing a ligit "hostile environment"... okay... fine... I might see that line of thinking...
But that was my point earlier... i'm not 100% convinced that he actually was. I think there is a reasonable chance (maybe not 50% but reasonable chance) that Richie Incognito and Martin... and 80% of every other football player in the league bust each other's stones in the exact same way.... and like I said before... if you take those comments out of context, of course it is going to look horrible.
Put it this way... If I showed you a video of Incognito and Martin in a locker room and they're going back and forth with "mom jokes" and then Incognito goes with something like, "I'll remember that when I'm banging your sister later".
Is it a big deal?? No, not remotely... distasteful? sure but that's how guys talk to each other all the time.
Now... if I showed you a different video of Incognito and Martin and incognito has Martin pinned to a locker by the throat and is screaming in his face that he'll remember something "when I'm banging your sister later"... THAT is a BIG EFFIN difference.
None of us were in the locker room so we have no idea what context this stuff was said in. All we know is that he said he was going to bang his sister.... which people are flying off the deep end instantly thinking this is the worst assault in the history of ever... when... fck... i say sht worse than that to my buddies almost daily.
So now I'm going to get accused of "harrassing" my friends?? please.
I'm ignoring you now for being even more Hoppy than usual

if Martin felt uncomfortable and wanted it to stop then it has to cease immediately.
Was there any actual evidence that Martin wanted it to stop? Other Martin NOW saying he was harassed?
I'm honestly asking because I haven't see any reports of that.
If he went to the team and said, "this **** is too much and it needs to stop"... And it didn't.... Okay, different story but all of the interviews with players I've seen said Martin and Incognito were friends and this "harassment" stuff came out of left field to all of them.

Time for a break from debating how much of a ********* Incognito is...

In that environment who do you go to? The coach? You already have a staff memeber engaging in that behavior how can anyone in that organization be trusted. Honestly Martin was in a rock and hard place situation. If you take the accounts at face value he was willing to entertain thoughts of suicide and that goes beyond a little locker room banter.
Just like any other work environment. You go up. If your manager doesn't do anything, go to his manager, then to his manager and so on. Then in Martins case, you go to the NFL. If that doesn't work then you bring it to media
You don't start with media. I'm not saying what was done to him was ok or not, I'm talking more on how he handled it. There is always a path to follow and he skipped everything in the middle.
And we totally care about boston baseball
So Ryan Dempster just ups and quits on the Sox. Odd. Not a big deal... just an unusual deal. Tough to knock the guy though since I have no idea what the family issues are that pushed him to that decision. Must be significant though to leave $13mm on the table.
Oh. Cool! I'll keep talking about it then.
What do you think they're going to do with Ortiz?
Keep tampering with his is piss test results I assume...
that's Mr. Sherman Super Bowl Champion to you
It's cute when Sox fans talk about baseball and their eight world series titles like we should be impressed. Get to double digits first.
My bad, I thought it was Mr. Sherman Cheater.
