Ha WTF. For what? How the hell is that possible?Adam Beasley-MIAMI HERALD saying Martin forked out $100,000 to Incognito.
It does seem that some of this likely happened from Philbin down to the OL Coach(Jim Turner) and then Incognito as basically Keifer Sutherland here.YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!You want guys like Incognito on that line....you need guys like Incognito on that line.
I do not agree with this either, but 15k for a guy making about 1.2 mil a year is like .0013% of his yearly salary. Comparatively, that is like less than $50 for a person making 40k. This isn't like a mafia level extortion ring or anything.How about the assumptions that he can extort $$$ from rookies? Telling the local media that THill will just buy them jet skis and he'll do it with a smile. How about telling Martin he had to pay him $15k for a Vegas try martin was skipping?Am i the only one who doesn't think the texts are as bad as i was expecting given the huge whirlwind on espn etc? Maybe somethings wrong with me but i just don't see the threats. Taken in a vacuum they seem bad but put together with the pictures together, the birthday well wishes, the shout outs etc, it seems like he was busting his balls. Overdone yes, very immature yes but im not seeing the omg here.
No. Incognito and Pouncey getting destroyed in here you're ok with?For the record I'm all for it. I have no problems name calling everyone involved at this point.Others are being irresponsible for not calling him a sissy when we don't know what happened?is that your point?This doesn't go both ways?understood.impotant aspects of the case have only broken In the last 12 hours.I'm just going off what I've seen and heard and read.do you know he didn't go to the coaches... is the first instinct that martin is guilty until proven innocent, and sort the facts out later?Wooooo dude....you have to read my posts. I said "I'm not saying throw down with the maniac..."I mean none of us know how Martin tried to handle this previously, but start at standing up for yourself and telling the big dope "hey I'm here to play football, leave me out of your bull####". Or, if you're so terrified of the guy being dangerous like some others are suggesting (which I think is ridiculous), how about knocking on your coaches door, or general managers door?So you either get in a physical altercation or you're a sissy?C'mon, you don't think Martin has some sissy in him? You think he handled this well?
If the guys first defense was to run home to mommy and daddy, then I don't care what any of you think, imo he's a sissy. A sissy that I do feel bad for, but a sissy nonetheless.
details are still emerging.
does it seem unreasonable to wait for more information before passing judgement on and name calling martin?
Jeezus.......this Martin guy has some problems. I thought Stanford graduated intelligent guys?Adam Beasley-MIAMI HERALD saying Martin forked out $100,000 to Incognito.
Fear, maybe trying to fit in and make friends. Maybe Martin thought if he paid a certain amount of money they would leave him alone and they didn't.Ha WTF. For what? How the hell is that possible?Adam Beasley-MIAMI HERALD saying Martin forked out $100,000 to Incognito.
Only if we assume the earning potential is replicated every year, and we know it's not.I do not agree with this either, but 15k for a guy making about 1.2 mil a year is like .0013% of his yearly salary.

It's good banter, might be partially true but likely a wet fantasy for most of us.
First of all, it was 100k total. Secondly, unless you are (say) EXTORTING CASH FROM A ROOKIE, you typically pay some tax on that. And you pay your agent, and your lawyer, etc. 100k aint chump change. Half these guys squeal like a stuffed pig when they get hit with a 10k fine for taking a guys head off.I do not agree with this either, but 15k for a guy making about 1.2 mil a year is like .0013% of his yearly salary.

Yeah, I was expecting more. Its hard to take a threat from April seriously if you just bring it up now.Am i the only one who doesn't think the texts are as bad as i was expecting given the huge whirlwind on espn etc?

Yeah, but after 1 season of forking out 100k he would get to do the same to future rookies for the rest of his career. So you could make way more than you initially shell out if you have a long career. Just more motivation to play hard.It does seem that some of this likely happened from Philbin down to the OL Coach(Jim Turner) and then Incognito as basically Keifer Sutherland here.YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!You want guys like Incognito on that line....you need guys like Incognito on that line.

That would be great if we could just bring back duels. They worked pretty well hundreds of years ago.Ancient civilizations used to fight to the death to settle their disputes. That would stop the bullying....when did we get to be such pansies that a punch in the mouth was enough?
The wussification continues...

WTF.....you don't think there are men in NFL locker rooms that can handle Incognito? Is he Superman??I would pay money to watch the "punch the bully in the mouth" crowd - try punching Incognito in the mouth.
Let me ask you......would you rather take a chance and punch a guy in the mouth or give him 100,000 dollars of your money.I would pay money to watch the "punch the bully in the mouth" crowd - try punching Incognito in the mouth.
$100k, I'm short and don't like pain.Let me ask you......would you rather take a chance and punch a guy in the mouth or give him 100,000 dollars of your money.I would pay money to watch the "punch the bully in the mouth" crowd - try punching Incognito in the mouth.
This will be historic in the realm of hazing and bullying. This topic was already toxic enough with modern tech and the tragedies of young people. This will be a catalyst for something. I don't know what though.Unfortunately this story is not just gonna be the nightly NFLN at 5:00, this is now on MSNBC, the View, lot of people who know very little about professional sports are going to weigh in with their opinion and that is gonna muddy the waters a lot here.
That sounds pretty damning of Philbin...jeeze.LeBatard basically saying Incognito who fancies himself a leader and also a little nuts basically did a Col Nathan Jessup if you are familiar with that character in A Few Good Men...Incognito went to the coaches and said that Martin is soft or perceived as soft, coaching staff said to toughen him up. So now Incognito was ordered to toughen him up perhaps especially after Martin was crying about being bullied to the coaches. Maybe the coaches thought Martin was soft.
I believe it. If you are going to carry around a name of Christian Peter you better be tough.There was a day when Christian Peter made Incognito look like Mother Theresa.If Martin got bullied maybe a guy named Christian Peter shouldn't go to Miami.Christian Peter is available...Great, so were gonna lose Martin, Incognito AND Pouncey.![]()

Oh he doesn't know it yet perhaps but he's gone. Has to be. As soon as I inserted him in as my avatar last Sun/Mon, things have gone downhill for him 1st. Coincidence of course.That sounds pretty damning of Philbin...jeeze.LeBatard basically saying Incognito who fancies himself a leader and also a little nuts basically did a Col Nathan Jessup if you are familiar with that character in A Few Good Men...Incognito went to the coaches and said that Martin is soft or perceived as soft, coaching staff said to toughen him up.

No need to put words in my mouth. But, I'd pay money to watch you fight him. Because you're a man - not no sissy!WTF.....you don't think there are men in NFL locker rooms that can handle Incognito?

I listened to part of the broadcast. I did hear something like what MOP says, and if it was the same thing as what MOP said then LeBatard absolutely didn't say Philbin suggested the toughening up. It was much more indirect. What LeBatard said was more like Incognito saw Martin as a guy that needed toughening up. Not that Philbin told/suggested to Incognito to toughen Martin up. Maybe it was a different part, but I don't think so. There is quite a bit of editorializing going on in this thread.That sounds pretty damning of Philbin...jeeze.LeBatard basically saying Incognito who fancies himself a leader and also a little nuts basically did a Col Nathan Jessup if you are familiar with that character in A Few Good Men...Incognito went to the coaches and said that Martin is soft or perceived as soft, coaching staff said to toughen him up.

If that girl wouldn't have just killed herself over "cyber-bullying" I don't think this story would be so big.This will be historic in the realm of hazing and bullying.

More stories coming out against Martin now. That he 'stole' rookie OL Josh Samuda's car during training camp. That he had done the lunch room prank many times before to other players (apparantly with IncogntoThis will be historic in the realm of hazing and bullying. This topic was already toxic enough with modern tech and the tragedies of young people. This will be a catalyst for something.

).Because there's no CFL? No Arena league?Something else people need to remember is the NFL isn't like other jobs. You can't quit and work for someone else. If anyone here were in a work environment where everyone was a total d*ck, kept yelling at us for money and calling us stupid nicknames we hated we would just get up and quit. That is not possible in Martin's case.
If you want to play in the NFL, you don't decide where to go and once you get there you are stuck for 5 years. So if Martin went to the coaches last spring and they did nothing about it, then he would be facing another 3 1/2 years of this if he took no action. So he really has 3 options then. Go on the offensive, request a trade or walk out.
Not everyone is a fighter so going on the offensive may not be Martin's thing. And Incognito sounds like one of meanest/toughest SOB's out there. Demanding a trade may have been the better option, but that puts a lot of the pressure on Martin. People may think he just made this stuff up for leverage. So there is walking out which sounds more like the move of a passive person who just couldn't take it anymore. Could Martin have handled it better? Maybe, but you can't blame a guy for being passive in a situation like this.
If you aren't a co-ed, then you are reasonably safe around Peter. Serial rapist and abuser.I believe it. If you are going to carry around a name of Christian Peter you better be tough.There was a day when Christian Peter made Incognito look like Mother Theresa.If Martin got bullied maybe a guy named Christian Peter shouldn't go to Miami.Christian Peter is available...Great, so were gonna lose Martin, Incognito AND Pouncey.![]()

You added an extra 0. It's 0.0125, or about $500 for someone making $40,000 per year.I do not agree with this either, but 15k for a guy making about 1.2 mil a year is like .0013% of his yearly salary. Comparatively, that is like less than $50 for a person making 40k. This isn't like a mafia level extortion ring or anything.How about the assumptions that he can extort $$$ from rookies?

Little tip for ya....the posters suggesting Martin could have maybe stood up for himself are not suggesting they personally would be capable of it. At least I hope not.No need to put words in my mouth. But, I'd pay money to watch you fight him. Because you're a man - not no sissy!WTF.....you don't think there are men in NFL locker rooms that can handle Incognito? Is he Superman??I would pay money to watch the "punch the bully in the mouth" crowd - try punching Incognito in the mouth.

Little tip for you: That was the irony I was pointing out.Little tip for ya....the posters suggesting Martin could have maybe stood up for himself are not suggesting they personally would be capable of it. At least I hope not.
I'd happily give Incognito all my lunch money, personally.
He shouldn't need one, but he did. A real tough guy, not just on the internet but in real life. Someone that could just give Incognito a look and the situation would be diffused. Probably needs to be a Bears fan.No...he shouldn't need a bodyguard. Sounds like he needs a George Milton.Maybe he just needed you as a bodyguard.Jeezus.......this Martin guy has some problems. I thought Stanford graduated intelligent guys?Adam Beasley-MIAMI HERALD saying Martin forked out $100,000 to Incognito.
Link to the texts? I've only seen a quote from a voicemail and tweets in this thread.Yeah, I was expecting more. Its hard to take a threat from April seriously if you just bring it up now.Am i the only one who doesn't think the texts are as bad as i was expecting given the huge whirlwind on espn etc?

Right and then when the coaches have Martin coming to them whining about Incognito back in the Spring...you do know that Martin went to Philbin in the Spring and the coach basically threw his hands up and did nothing.I listened to part of the broadcast. I did hear something like what MOP says, and if it was the same thing as what MOP said then LeBatard absolutely didn't say Philbin suggested the toughening up. It was much more indirect.

Sure if you want to take a 95% pay cut and live in another country. Not the same as working for another company down the street.Because there's no CFL? No Arena league?Something else people need to remember is the NFL isn't like other jobs. You can't quit and work for someone else.

Have not heard that yet but Miami could have done that last night...the fire is OUT OF CONTROL now and they are reacting again.Incogstupido said to be released by the Dolphins. Also said Martin would like to still play football.
Not necessarily. Teammates have come to blows going back forever in sports.What if you were 6'5 320$100k, I'm short and don't like pain.Let me ask you......would you rather take a chance and punch a guy in the mouth or give him 100,000 dollars of your money.I would pay money to watch the "punch the bully in the mouth" crowd - try punching Incognito in the mouth.Still don't like pain. Again, it's the way I live my life. I don't believe in violence. It usually just leads to more violence. Punch a guy and he returns with a knife. Pull a knife and the guy returns with a gun.What if you were 6'5 320$100k, I'm short and don't like pain.Let me ask you......would you rather take a chance and punch a guy in the mouth or give him 100,000 dollars of your money.I would pay money to watch the "punch the bully in the mouth" crowd - try punching Incognito in the mouth.
The only way it ends is when one person is dead. I believe this is why you are seeing kids lash out in such violent ways. Due to social media, the taunting and bullying never ends.
