ESPN: Martin fears retribution from Incognito

Schefter detailed a situation in which Martin was intimidated by Incognito to contribute $15,000 toward a trip to Las Vegas by the team’s offensive lineman. Martin, according to Schefter, didn’t want to go and ultimately didn’t go — but he surrendered the money anyway.

If true, it’s the really rich guy example of someone stealing someone else’s lunch money.

It really comes down to , stand up and be a man , or sit down and be a crybaby wimp .

So lets castrate him while we are at it. I mean, if he is not a man, no reason in letting him keep him man parts.


:sarcasm:

By the way, many have made claims that they are paid millions of dollars, so they should just deal with it. I guess that give me the right to harass Marissa Mayer, the CEO of Yahoo. She makes million and if I harass her, she should just deal with it right?

So your right we should give the benefit of the doubt to someone that has been accused of bullying and generally being a piece of crap everywhere he has been and not give the benefit of doubt to someone that has no history of having any problems. Incognito has a long history and is well known as a bad guy. Type his name into google and the first thing that populates is Dirty that should give you an idea of how he is looked at.

Martin should have sent 500 pizzas to Incog's casa, might only cost Incog 5 grand or so but the point would be made.

Is this a situation where he could "retire" for a year, then go sign with a team that has adults playing for it?

I will concur that Incognito should pick on someone his own size ,instead of Martin who is only 6'5" -- 320 .

It has to happen where there are no refs or teammates to stop it immediately. Maybe he will run into Antonio Smith outside the lines. I believe that would be a fair fight

You guys crack me up. Are you sure you wouldn't rather follow doubles tennis or quilt-making? This is supposed to be a MAN. Not a little schoolboy but a man. Pathetic. I'm so effing sick of hearing about this bullying crap all the damn time. It's called be parents. Instill in your children both compassion and self-respect. The **** that our country spends tax dollars and time worrying about is ridiculous. His teammates make fun of him. BFD. You're getting paid millions to play football, not patty cake with friends. Get your sorry, bitch ass back to work. He deserves to be bullied at this point. Roast away, femdems.

Its a different time. These days that kind of thinking can land you in jail. Regardless if you personally find it right or wrong.

I don't really have an opinion one way or the other to be honest, but the statement I made above is a fact in the modern day, like it or not.

Just because you are 6'5" and 300+ doesn't automatically give a person self confidence or awareness to know how strong and destructive ones strength is.

I played contact sports for 4 years before I realized how strong of a person I was and the damage I could do.

Martin is being smart and not losing his cool and not doing something illegal,IMO.

Also sounds like Richie I. is a scumbag.

Hopefully Martin gets out of there soon and continues his career in San Fran or Indy.

:D

You had me all the way up until Frisco and Indy, I'm left wondering why those 2 destinations might be better than the other 20+ football cities?

Maybe it's time Martin thought about doing something other than football , it's a rough tuff sport . Martin reminds me of the breakdown soldier that Gen. George Patton slapped and called a gd coward .

Cardsfanmd you are a better person and poster than that, im truly disappointed. Kudos on going so far as trying to politicize the issue with the "femdems" comment.

Being investigated as a hate crime.

Kudos to Martin for coming forward. No one deserves to work in an environment like that.

Isn't extortion a crime?

The latest twist:

Young Dolphins players are under pressure to dig deep into their pockets to pay for veterans’ social outings, a practice that is straining their finances and locker room chemistry, according to a source with direct knowledge of the situation.

These allegations come on the heels of an ESPN report Sunday morning that Incognito pressured Martin into paying $15,000 for an unofficial team vacation to Las Vegas — a trip that Martin, an offensive tackle, didn’t even join.

The Dolphins said Sunday night they suspended Incognito indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team.

According to a statement from the team, “We believe in maintaining a culture of respect for one another, and as a result we believe this is in the best interests of the organization at this time.”

One young defensive player, whose privacy the Miami Herald is protecting, is on his way to going broke because he has been unable to say no to the older players, a source said.

“Everything tastes better when rookies pay for it,” veteran defensive end Jared Odrick wrote on Twitter over the weekend. “Yes, the bill would make you sick.”

Younger players were handed the tab for a $30,000 team dinner, according to a source. The rookie minimum salary this year is about $400,000.
