NFL Week 9 2013 • "Have mrsa!"

Cincinnati at Miami
Atlanta at Carolina
Minnesota at Dallas
New Orleans at N.Y. Jets
Tennessee at St. Louis
Kansas City at Buffalo
San Diego at Washington
Philadelphia at Oakland
Tampa Bay at Seattle
Baltimore at Cleveland
Pittsburgh at New England
Indianapolis at Houston
Chicago at Green Bay

Philadelphia at Oakland

Will watch.

Foles this week, apparently. x_x

reports that vikings will start ponder again....officially trolling fanbase at this point.

Last week 12-1 (missed on Oakland), 84-36 for season

Cincinnati at Miami- It kind of depends on what Dolphin team shows up. I'd say this is a close game but I will take the Bengals on the road.
Atlanta at Carolina- I'm taking the Panthers, but this has been the kind of game they have lost the past couple years.
Minnesota at Dallas- Cowboys should win.
New Orleans at N.Y. Jets- Saints. I just don't think the Jets can slow down NO at all.
Tennessee at St. Louis- yikes I don't know, Titans I guess.
Kansas City at Buffalo- Give me KC but the Bills are playing teams pretty competitive.
San Diego at Washington- Washington to win.
Philadelphia at Oakland- yikes, I don't know on this one either. Raiders I guess.
Tampa Bay at Seattle- Seahawks
Baltimore at Cleveland- I guess B-more.
Pittsburgh at New England- Pats
Indianapolis at Houston- Colts
Chicago at Green Bay- Packers I just don't see Chicago getting any offense with the backup QB.

i think bmore have to beat cleveland out of their bye but i have a feeling they might not, and that would be a hell of a measure of their championship hangover season

those two late games should be great but they will sadly be garbage, unless kubiak polished a diamond out of case keenum in their week off.

This.

Think he's the brother of the Vikings safety, who retired from football (after concussions IIRC) to make a pilgrimage to Mecca.

noooo genoooo

c'mon dolphins jerk kicker

YES

did one of the halftime guys just quote lou reed

or do i have have lou reed on the brain

did you hear rapaport @ halftime explain that the teasing incident which caused jonathan martin to get fed up & leave the dolphins team was, a bunch of the offensive linemen were at a table in the cafeteria and were like hey, come over here and sit with us, so he does, and the moment he puts his tray down they all immediately get up and leave

seriously i did not know men behaved like this, i thought this was unique to middle school girls?

GOB!

jesus

barry sanders

i thought this was unique to middle school girls?

haha, i knew those girls, ugh

lol more flags plz

omg

omg

WHAT THE SHIT

that was one weird overtime, my friends

Geno Atkins torn ACL

cant say I've ever seen that before

wasn't there a game ending safety where someone got flushed out the back of the end zone

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/gerald-mccoy-says-bucs-coaches-yelled-him-helping-182645125--nfl.html

The Bucs are turning from grease fire into a full blown tire pile pyre.

that's a pretty standard thing for coaches to get on a player for doing

My HS coach encouraged it, my college coach prohibited it. I generally never did it.

RIP Geno Atkins. I absolutely LOVE watching that guy play. Him and Kyle Williams from Buffalo and of course Watt. Interior guys that just wreak havoc.

yeah i'm sad abt geno, he is a beast out there

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000274690/article/jacksonville-jaguars-justin-blackmon-suspended-indefinitely

With the balance shifting to the Bucs in the last few weeks for the most likely 0-16 honors, Jacksonville swings it back in their favor.

cam newton is really good

who is jeff tuel

tuel has a certain flutieness imo

wow spiller just made a crazy 60yd run

did you hear rapaport @ halftime explain that the teasing incident which caused jonathan martin to get fed up & leave the dolphins team was, a bunch of the offensive linemen were at a table in the cafeteria and were like hey, come over here and sit with us, so he does, and the moment he puts his tray down they all immediately get up and leave

seriously i did not know men behaved like this, i thought this was unique to middle school girls?

― seriously, THIS GUY (daria-g)

apparently goes far, far beyond this one incident. dolphins locker room sounds f--d up.

xp fello has some jets when he gets chance to switch em on

weird to see an upstanding guy like richie incognito embroiled in douchebaggery

omg

ha wow great job buffalo bills

classic ponder

"When this would happen in my time, you take the bully and you'd kick his butt. You go to Fist City with this guy."

lol classic ditka

put him on the beatdown bus, last stop fist city

wow kyle rudolph

plz accompany me to fist city maybe this weekend oh you have a game well does tuesday work

rookies forced to pay bus fare for veterans to fist city, cite bullying as reason

too bad the fins dysfunctional locker room is becoming an issue right as they're about to begin a multiple championship dynastic run.

bills have a nice running game going today

theyre doing good stuff until they do v stupid things like playing defense when theyre on offense

bills are dominating despite score. tuel has been surprisingly good apart from gif worthy miscues. he throws a nice deep ball. the goodwin mistake needs to be a gif though. a real head scratcher.

oh no bills

smh

the bills mistakes this game have been unbelievable

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiF6-0UTqtc

reminding me of the browns/chiefs game of last week

tuel is so not the problem

kellen clemens is better than sam bradford

people have funny names

jets handling nola p good today

yeah, kinda surprised but it's the jets

::flips coin::

bad call against the jets right there

nfl always trying to coddle drew brees smh

the announcers were just talking abt how they could just watch the ryan brothers faces for the whole game and i contemplated the benefits of non existence

for some reason shanahan just challenged *not* a possible fumble but the spot of the ball? lost the challenge, now has only one timeout

good thing we're still up by 10

go hatcats!

still figuring out second wildcard spot possibilities for the browns

yo pigskins somebody cover woodhead svp

wash not making sd work for those points

all those empty seats at another "sold out" game at fedex

occupied by ghosts from the old indian burial ground my guess

man, c'mon saints. smh not getting a first down there

ROMO

saints end around on 4th and inches is despicable playcalling

otm

good grief hatcats it's third and short and you have alfred morris what is going on here

oh hey did i miss a romoception just now <3

rip bills u gave the game away dummies

rip bills

yeah works w the similar quality of the pants

gold on the numbers way glossier than the pants incongruous yellow on the helmets, details are all wrong but still looks p good

sd will soon be needing teos fake gf for lb depth

gold on the numbers way glossier than the pants incongruous yellow on the helmets

otm

He gronked it!

oh hey GRONK SPIKE

uhhh seattle wtf

Nick foles is good again this week

which nick foles is the real nick foles

i hate to see any football player get hurt, except ryan clark

― Roberto Spiralli, Sunday, November 3, 2013 5:20 PM (7 minutes ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

literally my exact thought

Nick Foles and Mike Glennon players of the week

Josh Dubow ‏@JoshDubowAP 15m

Foles joins Brady (3x), McNabb (3x), Peyton (2x), Brees (2x), Favre, Chandler, Bledsoe and Dalton w/ 250+ yds, 4+ TDs in 1st half since 91

Raiders D has been solid all year, wonder what this is all about

i like joe haden

flacco with his patented throwpunt INTERCEPTED

steelers have figured out that the way to move the ball on the ground is to run at wherever spikes isn't

pats safeties looked like they were on different playcalls on the td. gregory sat over heath miller like a cover 1 but mccourty was only covering the right half of the field

polamalu has had a real bad day

collie looked like he might've got hurt there

kenbrell was a healthy scratch for an extra TE

man what's up with kenbrell :/

o christ throwpunt, then TD

did something happen to jason campbell?

got hurt for one series, back in

whew

xps he hasn't looked bad on the field but they have phased him out somewhat since collie arrived, and the sit today had a tactial dimension at least. i am still hopeful that he'll be a player

phil's birthday, mystery solved

philly oakland game looks brutal. hopefully the vegs didn't go to this one

got the word that she did not

they could use her calling D schemes imo

welp it remains to be seen whether the browns can put two half's together, i fear the worst

my brother is at the game. This is not helping me clarify my feelings re foles

6 TDs today make him officially the best eagles qb of all time. don't overanalyze it, just book your seat on the foles express and enjoy the ride.

stops may include fist city, unconfirmed

he never had control of the ball even

Man the Vikings.... this is so ugly

ffs same all season. it is okay to get 2y on 3rd and 2 dudes

brooooowns

Pats are falling apart against these guys

holy christ

FINALLY A SCORE OFF A TURNOVER

guess who on guess who

Foles this week, apparently. x_x

― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, October 30, 2013 6:12 PM (4 days ago)

lol at me

called a friend after the TD

Me: Hey
Friend: We're back in it!

pats hurry up into a pass is generally much less successful than into a run

um, my computer says foles has 7 TD today

virus maybe

love that julian edelman

foles benched again, his season just keeps getting worse

welp good luck USA browns

seems no commentator on any pats game has ever been able to pronounce hoomanamanui

wow jason campbell

i love ridley and his goofy outfits.. i was just looking for a photo and found this. those boots!

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1489356-stevan-ridley-obviously-wearing-rainbow-brite-moon-boots-while-rocking-a-onesie

meanwhile, gronk is an official zubaz ambassador

http://gronknation.com/archives/portfolio/zubaz-pants

go jason campbell <3

i can't do this anymore

dead boys on the TV

wow that really is quite an outfit. you don't want to turn up at dolphins training wearing that.

smh don't fake blitz spikes

this game is interminable

yeah it is somehow far from over, in both senses

good grief

awesome job by cleveland closing that out aggressively. huge result.

wb tom, missed u

yeah i saw ridley's outfit and thought, well, there's probably no bullying going on in that locker room.

holy sh!t dobson

guess brady's hand is healed up ok

dobson is really turning into a good player

all the fantasy football nerds didn't play brady this week

did you guys see brady's weird high-five smile face back there?

BROWNS

dobson still has plenty to work on but he is already good and i think has a pretty high ceiling

smug tweet from reiss about brady not being able to throw long. that's just one play dude.

what in the world was that robbles

blount with some of those sweet garbage yards

didn't realize browns hadn't beaten ravens since 2007

Wow, this is turning into a blow out

blount just froze time there i think

wow at point record. sad for lebeau

dang. at the start of that play i thought ok steeler defense is not going to let NE hang 50 on them that easy, and then blount sloooowly runs through everyone

steelers should be running the ball

I want to see him drink from a jewel encrusted goblet

James Baker looks exactly like he did 15 years ago

they keep him on ice in between disputed elections/luxury box appearances

this was a totally absurd day in the NFL, even by 2013 standards

THE KING OF HOUSTON

btw wow did both defenses look so horrible in the ne/pit game today, patriots best three dudes out too bad they couldve been p nice

stopped watching the game but twitter is telling me kubiak collapsed on the field wtf

yeah...

really eerie and strange on its own, but coming right after such a joyous moment for the team feels really weird

seattles come back from 20+ down twice this season

pretty sure i say this every week but indy is a weird team

<3 'you dropped a bomb on me' on this broadcast, awesome

how the fuck can u do that srsly

poor randy bullock

must really suck to let down your hospitalized head coach like that

this was so Houston (nonbasketball) sports

Derek Boyko ‏@derek_boyko 3h

Foles completed 8-of-10 throws at least 15 yds downfield for 256 yds & 4TDs. Raiders had allowed 1 TD on throws at least 15 yards all season

Nick Foles has peaked.

Among the texts that Jonathan Martin made available to his parents, and then, eventually the Dolphins and the NFL, include those in which Richie Incognito refers to Martin, who is biracial, as a "half-n*****," according to a source who was privy to the communication.

There are several instances of threats as well, the sources said, and overall disturbing exchanges, including one in which Incognito refers to defecating in Martin's mouth.

Incognito also made reference to tracking down members of Martin's family and harming them in the texts as well, according to a source.

jesus christ richie

i mean i knew he was a bad guy but i thought he was capable of directing it at the opposition

Matt Flynn is unemployed again.

richie incognito is such a diabolical name

including one in which Incognito refers to defecating in Martin's mouth.

full metal jacket quote?

He and Kevin Kolb need to open up a consulting agency for players looking for a quick payday. xps to me

the thing about richie incognito is that he isn't even good. at all.

this could not have been worth it to anyone involved

He made the pro bowl last year, right?

brandon merriweather made two straight pro bowls

he's allowed the most sacks by any guard this year

http://www.muscleweek.com/richie-incognito-nfl-bully

The big news out of Miami is the suspension of Dolphin Offensive Tackle Richie Incognito for ‘Conduct Detrimental to the Team’ in connection with his bullying, harassment and intimidation of fellow teammate and lineman Jonathan Martin.

For those unfamiliar with the situation, Jonathan Martin is a highly educated Stanford graduate whose parents are both Harvard graduates and who happens to be black. By contrast, Incognito is a hot-tempered bully who was kicked off his college team — the Nebraska Cornhuskers — for multiple violations including attacking a teammate, and is widely considered the dirtiest player in the NFL.

The alleged misconduct involves Incognito using mafia-like tactics to extort $15,000 from Martin and his fellow lineman to pay for a trip to Las Vegas for Incognito and a few other players. From reports surrounding the now-official NFL investigation, Incognito is coming off no different than the elementary school bully to whom no one wants to stand up and who, through intimidation makes followers out of those who would otherwise fear becoming his target.

Incognito is no stranger to trouble and controversy. In 2004, the Lincoln Journal Star reported that, “Incognito has struggled to control his temper both on and off the field since arriving at Nebraska in 2001.” Rumors of insubordination and temper tantrums surrounded his years at Nebraska, culminating in an incident in which he viciously attacked and beat up his teammate Grant Mulkey.

One report from an eyewitness (as reported on RedOut.com) described the event as follows:

[Nebraska Wideout] Grant Mulkey was talking with fellow teammates about his impending first start. Being excited about his first start he was a little on the emotional side. Incognito walked in and heard and saw Mulkey in a emotional state and started giving him a bad time. As a comeback, Mulkey told Incognito that he’d be playing instead of sitting in the stands watching game. Upon hearing this, Incognito went nuts. He jumped on Mulkey and started to beat the crap out of him. After teammates separated them, Incognito went after Mulkey again. The second attack happened after Incognito approached Mulkey as if to apologize to him. With the two of them being friends, Mulkey had his guard down. The second incident was not so easy. It took ten players to get Incognito off of Mulkey. Upon hearing the about the incident Callahan walk in and immediately Incognito verbally assaulted Callahan and threatened to kick his ass.

Tom Shatel, a reporter with the Omaha World Herald, described Incognito’s situation regarding the Mulkey incident as a “a repeat offender repeating while on suspension,” indicating that Incognito had been involved in multiple incidents within a brief period of time during the 2003-2004 season and describing him as a “good young man with anger issues.” NFL reporter Jeff Darlington described Incognito’s suspension at Nebraska as being the result of fighting not just with a teammate, but with “teammates, opponents and random students.”

If you think Incognito learned his lesson after being suspended indefinitely from Nebraska and transferring to Oregon, you’d be mistaken. After being drafted in the third round by the St. Louis Rams in 2005 (and sitting out his rookie season with an injury), Incgonito quickly gained a reputation as a nasty player: From 2006 through 2009, Incognito drew seven penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct — more than anyone else in the NFL during that span.

The NFL itself, on its own website refers to Incognito as the ‘NFL’s Dirtiest Player’. In the story written by NFL reporter Jeff Darlington, he describes Incognito as having thrived in the NFL despite “a decade of anger management issues and substance abuse.” The same article references an incident in which Incognito was accused of punching a bouncer in the face at a South Beach nightclub. ESPN reporter Adam Schefter reported the incident as follows:

According to the police report, Incognito and a group of friends were trying to get a closer look at an on-stage performer, at which point the security guard asked the group to back up. A member of Incognito’s group then pushed the security guard, which started a fight. Incognito told police he tried to break up the incident. Incognito refused medical treatment for minor facial injuries, according to the report. League sources said Incognito punched and knocked out the security guard (emphasis added), though the police report makes no mention of this.

His substance abuse includes not only a decade of marijuana use but admittedly “[d]rinking. Doing Drugs. Everything a professional athlete should not be doing.” In the same piece, Incognito admits to using the psychotropic anti-depressant drug Paxil to keep his mood swings in check since becoming a Miami Dolphin.

Despite his ongoing efforts to conquer his demons, it appears as though Incognito’s latest incident with Jonathan Martin may be the final straw. After being kicked out of St. Louis and Buffalo, it appears that Incognito has worn out his welcome in Miami. And though, the NFL is known for giving talented players second and third chances, this may be Strike Three for Richie Incognito.

Some non-football fans might read of Incognito’s history of trouble and ponder, ‘How can yet another poor excuse for a human be given so many chances and become a multi-millionaire solely because of his ability to block a 300 lb lineman?’ But that would be overlooking the manner in which high school, college, and NFL coaches and teams routinely make excuses for and bail their players out of trouble in the name of the almighty victory and dollar. Anyone in need of a reference for can simply read [Removed Illegal Link]

For now, Incognito’s actions in the Jonathan Martin incident are under investigation, but if the rumors of racist voicemail messages left for Martin are accurate (and released to the public), it’s safe to say that Incognito has played his last NFL game. Former NFL Vice-President of Player Personnel for the Patriots and former-KC Chiefs General Manager Scott Pioli seems inclined to agree in an interview with ESPN’s Dan Patrick on NBC’s Football Night in America:

Pioli: If [Incognito] is a leader in your locker room, that is a problem, because he has a long history of issues going back to Nebraska, when he was kicked out of school. But, what this shows me is that there is some void of leadership somewhere within the Miami Dolphins locker room, because if there are issues like this, generally the head coach or the general manager is going to know something about this. They’re going to be able to fix the problem before it manifests itself into this disaster they have right now.

Patrick: Would you want Richie Incognito in your locker room?

Pioli: I didn’t want him coming out [of college], and I don’t want him now.

Which might show that the old adage about how to deal with bullies is accurate: If you stand up to a bully, he’ll just go away.

Jesus. Whattadouche.

And that Jeramy Stevens article! OMG!

Muscleweek.com

he's allowed the most sacks by any guard this year

Not saying you're wrong

dont forget richie's dastardly cousin, guy incognito

http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20081020220013/simpsons/images/5/56/GuyIncognito.jpg

yeah Jerramy Stevens is clearly a genuine piece of shit

While investigating Stevens, Parker dug up an e-mail Stevens had sent to one woman he'd slept with at the UW. The e-mail said:

"i know that you are not going to beliewhat i have to say especially after satterday night but when i got your e-mail today i laughed a first but then it started to sink in and my heart started to break as i read over your words.

"i realize that i have [messed] up and I want to talk to you about being with you and how i can make it up to you. this is not a joke i want to have you in my arms and know that you are mine and ythat nothing that i have done or [a friend] has said caould ever change the way that i feel about you. when i think back to the night that i spent with you by ourselves i wish that i would have done one thing and that is, i wish i would have put ... "

Stevens then describes, in explicit terms, an anal-sex act he wanted to do to her. He closes with: "you whore dont ever utter my name again."

Stevens shared this message with a teammate, who called it a "funny ass e-mail." The teammate, when interviewed by a detective, called the woman who received the message "a typical football groupie."

Parker says the e-mail was "very disturbing to read." She placed it in her investigative file and interviewed the woman who received it. The woman broke down in tears.

I'm curious as to how you go from "i want to have you in my arms and know that you are mine" to "you whore dont ever utter my name again"

Cool pick from Richie

oh man

I guess we have only The Ring to blame for his behavior...

Keep it classy NFL! Jeze this league is so screwed up. I can get that there is some ritual to joining the league, but even beyond this lunatic Incognito's actions, I think just passing on a 30k meal ticket to a rookie that might only play a few years in a league and asking them to pay is f-ing nuts.

They can complain about Goodell all they want but a whole lot of this needs to go back on the Union and both of them really need to start expecting a bit more out of the players in the league and acting like a multi-billion dollar business. The thing I really just don't like about sports which is mirrored in US society now is just that people are so crass and just mean. All this cruddy behavior in the pros just mirrors down into youth sports.

This local story made national news from around here and really it's just a reflection on how crass and disrespectful everything has become around sports. I'd kind of like to see some of the commissioners of one of the pro leagues actually step back and really try to at least make an attempt to bring back some sportsmanship to the game.

Even beyond that, the game pretty much has turned into arena/Canadian/techmo football. There is absolutely no defense out there most of the time anymore. There is just something fundamentally wrong if you got guys throwing for 7 TDs and teams running up nearly 100 points every week. It's just not the same game.

Aging man rant over.

That's pretty sad about the no-handshakes policy.

It's been a pretty ugly year in sports in the US if you ask me. There is always some BS, but the last year seems like a record for just heinous and nasty people in sports.

damn that article what an awful person

wow what a good call

what happened to rodgers???!!

sacked, landed on non-throwing shoulder

watched the video of richard seymour getting ejected from a game after punching incognito
it wasn't as good a punch as the one he threw at roethlisberger

oh my god did anyone else just get a tv ad for this movie "homefront" in which one of the taglines is STAND YOUR GROUND

are you kidding me, what is wrong with people

I was a little shocked at how bad Seneca Wallace was. He just didn't seem to be good at anything.

kinda feel that Rodgers will be out a few weeks, in which case maybe it's time to free Scott Tolzien?

Bring back Flynn! It's kismet.

could there possibly be more fun left in the tank?

when Woodson broke his collarbone he was out about 8 weeks right? despite their relatively easy schedule from here on out I'm wondering if the Pack even make the playoffs now.

i thought i heard three weeks, so it must be a pretty slight crack in that clavicle (or i misunderstood the report).

Embarrassed dolphins call on Miami to change its team name.

Andy Borowitz, ladies and gentlemen!

there really seems to be a wide gulf between the top tier and mid-tier teams this year. hell, the Jets would be in the playoffs if they started today.

The Jets are pretty feisty.

the jets have a really good defense but their ceiling is the 9-7 six seed that loses 30-3 on the road in the first round

so they are the new Bengals

the jets have a really good defense but their ceiling is the 9-7 six seed that loses 30-3 on the road in the first round

I feel like they could beat the Chiefs or the Colts or the Bengals.

It's funny to think that the Broncos would be the 5 seed if the playoffs started today.

the jets were in cincy 2 weeks ago and lost 49-9

he said "could", not "would"

I mean, I feel like the Vikings could build a time machine and go back in time to the beginning of the season and murder themselves in order to gain some amount of dignity this year but I don't think it will actually happen

it's such a horrible thought and probably a morally deficiency in my soul but my first thought hearing about rodgers' injury was relief bc iggles/packers next weekend

the jets were in cincy 2 weeks ago and lost 49-9

Bungles are a different team without Geno Atkins, but yeah still a tough one no doubt.

this as the jets ceiling is still p good. theyve done a nice job on some personnel moves

i didnt know abt jonathan martins background --

Martin's father, Gus Martin, is a Harvard University graduate and a professor of criminal justice administration at California State University, Dominguez Hills.[1] Martin's grandfather, also a Harvard alumnus, was a professor in international development.[2] Martin's maternal great grandfather was a Harvard student in the 1920s, one of a dozen African-American students there.[3]

I'm sure Andrew Luck (and maybe Coby Fleener) are going to get asked a few questions about Jonathan Martin.

Considering all the Dolphins players siding with Incognito, isn't it *possible* that we don't quite have the right angle on this story?

no, hang him

I think there's a ton about this story that we don't know, and when it all finally comes out it will not be pretty.

uh oh like this maybe

@BeckleyMason: Did Dolphins coaches order the Code Red on Martin?? (by @omarkelly) http://t.co/cs5lwu3axd

http://storify.com/Adam_Jacobi/a-few-good-linemen

Have you ever spent time on a football team, son? Ever served on an offensive line?

Think I'm even more disgusted by all these commentators and pros coming out with all this he should have punched back locker room culture blah blah blah bullshit blame the victim stuff than the actual incognito incident

gg Dolphins

yeah I think incognito can be chalked up to brainless d-baggery and, well, I guess the responses from tough guys like "personnel who wish to remain anonymous" are also brainless, it's also something larger within sports culture. Which is why i'm really wary of giving in to much sports fandom these days beyond admiration from afar, especially for a league like the nfl where it's clearly deeply fucked up.

the blame the victim shit has been sickening. "he should have punched him in the jaw". awesome, so then we would be sitting around talking about how awful it was that Jonathan Martin got suspended for punching a teammate unprovoked. He should have taken his concerns to the team leaders. awesome, Incognito is a member of said committee, I'm sure it would have gone over real well.

He should have "manned up". awesome, once he's shut off all of his human emotions and has forgotten the n-word and all of its ugly connotations, I'm sure he'll be a better player.

This sums up why I'd never want to be a football player, even if I had the athletic talent. Despite the fame and money some receive, chances are you spend your career having your psyche fucked with by players, coaches, and if you play a while, you'll leave the game with the limbs of a 70-80 year old, and a possible chance at dementia during your retirement.

as a Fins fan, I'm fairly pissed at the organization right now. what other team in the league has a 'bullying' problem right now? this could explain why our o-line is as effective as a cheese grater.

also LOL at the Fins saying Incognito gives them a better chance to win. Former Pro Bowler or not, he's been terrible this year, and ffs anybody can play GUARD.

not trying to get on bill here at all, because this stuff is enforced and prescribed by the coaches, not the kids, but like...honestly....i totally understand that the reality is that this is the norm in a lot of places...but like step back from "football" for one second and it's like how fucking retarded is this whole sport and the so-called "culture" around it

i remember playing football in a park somewhere near where i was living, when i was 15 or 16. we were playing full on tackle football and one of my friends got tackled and went down and just shattered his collarbone. he insisted that we not take him to a doctor, "just pop it back into place." that really didn't work AT ALL. we didn't see him for a month after that. anyway lots of macho bullshit instilled from a young age thanks to this stupid culture. i mean, everything is stupid in this world and sports culture is just near the top of the pile i guess.

I do. The Dolphins suck hardcore.

I think the thing about teammates comin out in support of incognito over martin isn't that martin was actually in the wrong, it's that most football players probably really are unrepentant assholes.

I just watched an ESPN roundtable (I don't remember who was on it) where a black former player was all "look it's just locker room stuff, everyone knows what that's about; Incognito messed up by taking it outside the locker room" and I'm just sitting here thinking "so if Incognito had been all 'hey you half-nigger piece of shit' in front of everyone else, that would have been okay???? do you actually hear the words coming out of your mouth right now"

And there's an article claiming that Martin's agent contacted the GM to discuss the situation and the GM's response was "Martin should punch Incognito"

I mean, I get mental toughness and I get razzing but where's the point where you say "you know, this is counterproductive and actually really fucking racist, I should probably stop" if you aren't a gigantic scumbag who should probably be killed

also like beyond all the larger racial/societal implications of this whole mess what kind of general manager says "well, player of mine, i think the way to solve this problem is to assault and injure this other player of mine." like, what the fuck?

there's no defending Incognito here, and as al leung says, the support for him from the players is purely indicative of the outdated machismo that still permeates through locker rooms. That players don't get along, prank or haze each other is nothing new (albeit I think the latter is juvenile). But Incognito's form of bullying reaches way beyond the norm - this isn't making a rookie pick up a tab, this is absolute emotional abuse.

I don't see how that was expected to toughen Martin up. Perhaps they should focus more on why Incognito enjoys letting so many defensive linemen blow by him this year. Martin is a bad Left Tackle, to be sure, but the way to get him to improve wasn't bullying.

as I said, very disappointed in the way my team handled this. suspending Incognito was pure ass-covering.

with that said, I'll be at the MNF game; I enjoy cognitive dissonance.

a lot of the dolphins players interviewed seemed to not only be unaware that martin felt harassed, but seemed to think that martin and incognito were friends.

that's either a tremendous closing of ranks (possible) or martin never gave any indication that incognito's behavior upset him (also possible).

yeah i'm confused by this whole thing

seems like a classic case of someone internalizing until they snap

yeah

but like step back from "football" for one second and it's like how fucking retarded is this whole sport and the so-called "culture" around it

Sounds like everybody involved has to grow up and act like adults. Bunch of idiots on that team. Bill Walsh made sure his guys acted like adults, he banned hazing, held the team leaders accountable, etc. This is just a shitshow.

I feel bad for the Martin dude. He apparently didnt fit into the idiots on the team's definition of what a "real man" is and got persecuted for it. Embarrassing.

if hes lucky he'll be out of football for good, preserve that ivy league brain

That voicemail he sent came from a place of humor, but where he really screwed up was using the N-word. That, I cannot condone, and it’s probably the biggest reason he’s not with the team right now. Odd thing is, I’ve heard Incognito call Martin the same thing to his face in meetings and all Martin did was laugh.

Gee sounds like a great work environment.

Some seasons are weirder than others. This one is just fucked up.

Other players said the same things Incognito said to Martin, so you’d need to suspend the whole team if you suspend Incognito.

yeah this is how bullying works!!

any abusive relationship is difficult to identify from the outside -- martin probably acquiesced to the bullying because he thought it would be the only way he would be accepted in the locker room. just a classic bullying dynamic

I'm in Martin's camp but if Pryor wants his line to get less cheese-grater ish, Martin's the wrong guy to invite.

It would be pretty hard for it to get worse.

I mean maybe if they're going to fuse Martin and their existing LT together to make a Supertackle, sure....
