I like this thing Carolina does where they destroy the other team. They should keep doing that.

 

Matt Ryan without Roddy White and Julio Jones is...not good.

He really was horrific today. First 2 INTs were both into triple coverage and his third was a telegraphed out route for a pick-6.

I may be a victim of selection bias as an Indiana native, but it seems like no team has won as many games while sucking it up for half the game than the Colts over the last 15 years or so.

So that Richie Incognito fella seems nice.

I love wikipedia.

Good Guy Award

The Good Guy Award is given out in each NFL city to the player(s) who best helps the media do its job. In the 2012 season, Incognito was awarded this honor by the South Florida Chapter of the Pro Football Writers Association, alongside teammate Reggie Bush.[24]

 

NFL's "Dirtiest" Player

Incognito has garnered attention over the years for perceived dirty play amongst NFL players, coaches, and fans. He has been alleged to have gouged player's eyes, punched players, and made illegal tackles on a regular basis.

Local radio guys here were the only people I heard who didn't straight out rip on Incognito. They didn't excuse his texts/VM, but they said that instead of Martin crying about it and hiring lawyers, etc., that he should've just punched Incognito in the face and settled it that way

Mike Wallace said what Incognito did was just part of hazing and this was not out of the ordinary. He should probably shut up.

 

He's almost certainly telling the truth. Football players are huge jock buffoons, and this probably happens everywhere. There are hordes of players that want this to not become a thing.

The good news for Martin is that now no teammate will ever trust him again

 

But isn't that a problem for any victim who speaks out? The same can be said for a victim of sexual harassment or bullying. Hell, I know proportionally they are not on the same level, but there's a history of the whistleblower taking a hit on credibility: Anita Hill, Canseco, Rutgers basketball players, etc.

between Incognito and his dad, this seems to has crossed the line for normal jock idiocy to straight up psychopaths.

BREAKING NEWS:

Tony Siragusa is still a moron. He was just on the DP show trying to blame Martin for not being man enough.

Say Martin did that and punch Incognito in the face. Guys like Incognito... the next day would go up to Martin and be like "Man, you hit like a girl" or something along that line. Or worse, Incognito fights back as most bullies would. Do people really think that if you stand for yourself would stop everything? Esp since it's been going on for at least since Martin got with the team. I can see it maybe if you stood up RIGHT FROM THE START or if you REALLY beat the crap out of someone, but then you're the one in trouble most likely and the "bully" still wins. Maybe Martin did try to stand up, but it didn't work.

 

What's even worse is it seems like NOBODY stood up for Martin this entire time. That's the part that gets to me the most. If some people won't trust Martin after this ordeal cuz he speaked out, how do you think Martin feels if nobody stood up for him or thought it's just part of hazing/ritual/didn't care/whatever? I can guaranteed you that he doesn't trust many (if any) in that Dolphins locker room right now.

Hell, I expect Incognito would be packing (think Gilbert Arenas/Javaris Crittenton) and things would be much worse if it Martin escalated.

Martin was in a no win situation. literally there was nothing he could have done that would have made things better.

He should have waited for Incongito to threaten him in person then "stood his ground".

Aaron Rodgers just said on his radio show that he has a fractured collarbone and they haven't talked at all about a timetable.
