You cannot quit, and that's essentially what Martin did...sad, but Incognito is the guy who will be respected in the locker room more than Martin.
Your teammates need to know you will be there in the trenches

How anybody could ignore what Igcognito did and blame the victim is beyond me. The Dolphins are bunch of losers both on and off the field. That what happens when a team is run like a frat house in the 1960s instead of a business in 2013. Any business that treated new hires like that wouldn't be business long. The Dolphins would be either if they had to compete for players coming out of college instead of getting them through the NFL draft.

it was actually precocity that won the contest. my own proximity strategy of colts and six guesses didn't do so well. probably a good thing too, so i'm not tempted to actually start betting this stuff.

Come on...this is still a game, and the phrase "in the trenches" should be reserved for more serious matters, IMO.
I have to think that the Incognito/Martin situation was widely known within the Dolphin organization...and someone should have put an end to it before it reached the national media. Incognito is an obnoxious bully...and he has exhibited behavior such as this for more than a decade.
I just can't see how Martin will look worse than Incognito, and the Miami organization, in this.
Low-paid young Dolphin players are driven to financial distress because they are intimidated into picking up huge expenses rung up by the veterans? Are these "the trenches" that you are talking about?
Come on...

Richie is an "honorary" black man according to some teammates.

You come on - it's WAY more than a game, and you know it.
It's a mega massive business, and some guys get maimed while going about their business. There's evidence that this "game" causes severe brain injuries after "playing" for any number of years. You can comfortably live your entire life on the money from one nice contract...that ain't a game.
The trenches I was speaking of (and you already know this) is the out and out war that takes place at the line of scrimmage every single play.
If low paid Dolphins are driven to financial distress (really? financial distress?) because they are intimidated into picking up checks....THEN THEY SHOULDNT BE INTIMIDATED SO DAMNED EASILY !!!
If you are intimidated at the dinner table then you simply do not belong on an NFL field.

My apologizes to Precocity on this. To make up for my mistake I'll send out free copies to you both.

I'm not a Limbaugh listener but I went out to lunch and he happened to be on the radio when I was in the car and he was talking about the Martin/Incognito matter:
"Anyone who's opposed to bullying must be a liberal".
Didn't take long to realize why I don't listen to him. One of the dumber comments I've heard in a while.

Sounds more like a case of harassment than bullying. If threats were made towards him or his family's life, that would be more of a criminal act.
I just don't understand how a 330 pound human being of Martin's stature can be bullied.

Explains why Miami sucks.
Fire the coach and hire someone competent.
This guy is a loser.

The other guy is just as big and is more aggressive. Everything is relative.

Bullying is as much if not more psychological than physical.
Didn't we all grow up with friends who were brothers? In most of the cases I remember the younger but larger and stronger brother was always intimidated by the older sibling. This may be very similar but on a larger scale.
