Incognito suspended indefinitely by Dolphins

[shmessy]

How 2006 of you...

Pathetically, it was September 2013........

 

[manxman2601]

Gostkowski sucks. Shoulda kept Vinatieri.

Please keep the discussion to Incognito. Thank you

"Let us discuss that Welker drop for the 200th time".

This news made the nbc evening news with Brian Williams in philly. Just wow.

 

[stcjones]

This sounds even more devestating to the Doofin organization, their lack of leadership and has to flow all the way back to their coach. EVERYONE in the organization has to be aware of this crap. As far as Incognito....he is a douche bag that one day will meet up with the wrong guy and get what is coming to him. Trying to paint this guy as a kid who was bullied and one day finally stood up to the bully....just doesn't pan out. Stories talking about how HE WAS THE BULLY....the oversized kid with the loud mouth and the mean streak?.....Now that sounds alot like Richie.....

Alot of people are going too quickly to the "Well Martin is soft and a pu##y" here.....Have you ever had that whacked out, crazy co-worker that you think...."Wow....I'm not saying anything about that psycho....because I don't want him waiting for me in the parking lot with a 12 gauge?" That to me is Richie.....Not only a douche bag, bully....but if you stand up to him or downright kick his ***** all over the locker room......watch your back in the parking lot...or your driveway etc.....Incognito's wires are crossed somewhere....Martin did the right thing by making this public.....and don't think the fact that one of his parents is a lawyer and the other well educated didn't play into HOW this thing was handled. Here's to Richie Incognito's retirement....and a prayer that he DOES meet THAT guy in a dark alley...and get what is finally coming to him

I like to see that piece of **** pull that stunt with Willie and Tedy in that locker room...

 

[robbomango]

One of the first things you want to teach rookies is how to invest wisely, not to blow their money. So I can't comprehend paying upwards of 5000 dollars to buy a bunch of fat football players dinner that make 4 times as much as you never mind paying 15 grand for an absurd trip to vegas, that's just criminal.

I get locker room hazing to a degree but where finances are concerned it crosses a line IMO.

the incident rate shouldn't be its defense since any occurrence is unacceptable.

That is a nice sounding cliché, but in reality it is ridiculous and utterly foolhardy to completely upend and radically alter the training strategies that the military has been using for a couple centuries because of a few isolated incidents.

And I submit to you that anyone who is not mentally tough enough to handle 2 months of boot camp had some pretty serious prior existing problems. I've done it. It's really not that bad.

 

[Boston Boxer]

Incognito IS and always will be the biggest piece of garbage in the league. What a POS and i hope he gets what he has comming to him.

I hate a bully

This year is shaping up into a bad one for the NFL in some weird ways -- Hernandez, Incognito, concussion issue, injury plague, Goodell running amok, Manning hype, cold-weather Super Bowl site, Fox and Kubiak, multiple London games, scumbag Ryan brothers still employed, etc., etc.

sorry but if the training strategies systematically rely on some initiation process that lends itself to single out individuals to be harassed and maligned based on their personal attributes then it needs to change.

It wasn't that bad for you. Perhaps you were lucky, but don't trivialize the traumatic experience of some who found themselves the singular target of abuse and racial epithets.

Well, I'll take a couple centuries of training the worlds greatest armed forces over the opinion of some guy on teh interwebz.

It wasn't that bad for you. Perhaps you were lucky, but don't trivialize the traumatic experience of some who found themselves the singular target of abuse and racial epithets.

I specifically said that in today's armed forces, racial epithets are not an accepted form of boot camp or plebe year training.

The fact that you have to deliberately misrepresent what is going on proves that what is going really isn't so bad.

I have pointed to three actual incidents where racial epithets were used in hazing so I am not at all misrepresenting what is going on. Those were real incidents, they happened.

When you enable a environment where it's acceptable to mistreat and harrass others, these soft parameters such as no racial epithets are not enforceable at all.

the capability of the military has no correlation with the cruelty of their hazing practices.

 

[Gronkandez]

Two things boggle the mind: something like this happening on a professional football team, and this thread surpassing 350 posts.

yeah but about 100 of those posts were from Andy Johnson, Schmessy and a couple other guys arguing back and forth about god knows what.

Find a Fogo de Chao Brazilian steakhouse where it's one price ($100 including tip w/o alcohol) for unlimited high quality beef and you feed a pro football player very well.....No need to spend $30K.....

I am not saying things like that don't happen. I am countering any accusations that such things are widespread, common or accepted.

When you enable a environment where it's acceptable to mistreat and harrass others, these soft parameters such as no racial epithets are not enforceable at all.

You don't have the first clue what you are talking about. I'd gladly wager that not only are you a civilian, but you haven't had an ounce of instruction regarding military training, techniques, etc.

You probably read some article in some magazine somewhere and now consider yourself an expert.

The NFL is swiftly turning into a nanny state with pink ribbons. Actually, it's already here.

Does that "thing" have the initials T.T.?
