First off, Francis, ease up on the "stupid" comments. You're in way over your head.

More and more and more is coming out about this. Teammates seem to be siding with Incognito. I even heard Martin had played the tapes in the locker room for his teammates and laughed out laugh with everyone. Ryan Tannehill called Incognito the biggest supporter and friend Martin had in the locker room. I smell a well-planned lawsuit from Martin's Harvard-educated lawyers, who are also his parents.

None of that forgives Incognito, but it certainly provides context that so many don't want to hear.

The culture in a football locker room is massivlely politically incorrect. You have to have incredibly thick skin, and yes, it gets cultural, personal, and even racial. Players laugh off what society in general would need six months of therapy to overcome. The campaign to wussify and emasculate the American male hasn't yet reached the locker room, though I'm sure it's fast-tracking now. How long until trash-talking on the field becomes verbal assault, punishable by law, or at least worth suspension from the league office?

Go back and look at what Parcells used to ask his players to do. Look at the early 90s Cowboys, and what Jimmy allowed to go on.

And for crying out loud, let the facts come out. This already feels like the railroading of George Zimmerman, who should have been excused in a week's time.

There's plenty at work here. Let it surface.

George Zimmerman is an innocent man?

I don't think the "victim blaming" card can be played here. As a matter of fact, it is probably rarely played when it comes to bullying. Most people hate bullies and bullying and are quick to feel compassion for bullying victims.

Most of the time bullying victims are smaller, weaker, older, less popular, .. whatever. So most people have the tendency to sympathize with the victim and have disdain for the bully.

And I think that was the case initially with RI and Martin. Most spoke out against RI.

It is only as more facts come out, and more people associated with this issue speak out that people are now questioning what actually happened here.

Most still think RI is a complete jerk, .. this is not victim blaming.

Anyone else find it odd that Martin decided to leave over bullying exactly three days after losing his starting job to Bryant McKinnie?

He didn't lose his starting job, he was moved to RT.

He played the tape FOR them unsolicited, as in "Guys, guys, you gotta hear this!"

And you're combing the NFL for boy scouts? Is this your first year to watch football?

Incognito is like a LOT of NFL players. You gotta be half bent to play pro football to begin with.

I think you're talking out of the wrong end when you make comments like this because i don't think you have the first clue what kind of things commonly go on in an NFL locker room or what a majority of NFL players act like in or out of the locker room.

..and if A LOT of NFL players are "like Richie Incognito", its begs the question why alot of players with pro bowl talent aren't having to jump teams every year because of behavior/attitude issues.

Actually, I do, but you're right, Incognito takes it that next step that most players don't. It's still not a place for the faint of heart.

Yes.

Which lead to the question.. "you do, what?"

Thanks for the recap, WV!

Hopefully, we will soon get an answer as to what kind of general access erod has to all of the NFL locker rooms.

Not getting into it. No offense, just don't share much personally online.

"If you asked Jonathan Martin who his best friend is on this team two weeks ago, he'd say Richie Incognito. It's tough for us to sit here and hear all that when we have each others' backs." - Ryan Tannehill.
"What's perceived is that Richie is this psychopath racist, and the reality is Richie was a pretty good teammate. I don't know why (Martin is) doing this. And the only person who knows why is Jonathan Martin." - Tyson Clabo

"If I'm not mistaken this is the same guy (Martin) that was laughing about this voicemail at one point in time." - Brian Hartline

Antrelle Rolle, Mike Pouncey, and Mike Wallace have also spoken on Incognito's behalf.

Yeah, it's such a great thing to have Pouncey backing you. Of course Dolphins are saying the correct PR lines.

Why would the players need to say anything? They could just stay out of it.
