Espn isn't the cops

There are three [sets] of people wrong in this:

1. Incognito, obviously. Bart Scott lit into him on ESPN New York today.
2. The Dolphins front office and any of the remaining 53 players that weren't victims or perpetrators, namely Pouncey.
3. Martin himself. At some point in time, you just attack. Worked for me and against me in the past and for countless other people.

Funny thing is, he won the Media Good Guy award last year, or whatever it's called, and yet, the transcript of that voicemail was also from last season.

[ReignOnU]

Did you hear the audio of his stadium announcement that the Dolphins played for every home game? Pretty funny.

So great.

Shel... you'll love to hear this... I may be grabbing a seat on the Lebby bus. I've been catching his show on my drive home the last couple of weeks and he's growing on me.

You don't know what this means to me!!!



Those are tears of joy!!!

Lebetard has always been fine. He needs to get Bomani Jones the hell out of there ASAFP though.

He is enormously dislikable

He was ok at first because he provided something different on the radio show, but now he's just terrible. It took me a bit, but i'm on the Bomani hater bandwagon now.

Lebby loves him though.

[Hoos]

Dude looks like the stuff of roid filled nightmares. I would have run away and told on him too!

[LetsGoPeay]

This is about to get even more messy.

According to Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Dolphins coaches asked Incognito “to toughen up” Martin after he missed a voluntary workout during the 2013 offseason. Kelly cites “at least two” unnamed sources.

Per the unnamed sources, Incognito may have taken his orders too far. Specifically, the sources tell Kelly that the racially-charged voice message from Incognito to Martin came after skipped two days of the team’s voluntary OTA program.

“Incognito was encouraged by his coaches to make a call that would ‘get [Martin] into the fold,’” Kelly reports.

Joe Philbin ordered a Code Red!

Dolphins coaches asked Incognito “to toughen up” Martin

If true, Lebby nailed it. Granted, he may have known the inside scoop and isn't quite the genius, but he said this was a possibility a couple of days ago.

He also said those 2 days that Martin missed OTAs, the Dolphins reported it as a personal family issue, but that Martin had basically done the same thing he did last week, just kinda left and "quit", so the team is pretty much done with him and they just about unanimously support Incognito here, which is just crazy but not really surprising lol.

Joe Philbin ordered a Code Red!

In case my post wasn't filled with enough Lebby talk, Lebby actually played the code red speech on his radio show for the same reason you just mentioned it.

[ReignOnU]

See shel... it's happening...

Lebby... Code Red!!!

[LetsGoPeay]

An interesting thing to me is that Martin played at Stanford. I know there have been some other linemen from Stanford that have had issues in the past with being "soft" or not tough enough. There was a Kwame something-or-other a few years ago that was a first round pick from Stanford and everyone was lauding him because he was supposedly "an intellectual" and a football player. He played the piano and was into drama and stuff. He ended up flaming out in no time due to toughness issues. That's the only one I can definitely think of but I'm fairly sure there were a couple others.

[trendon]

Well, that explains the mysterious "I know you're working out" part of his voicemail.

This actually makes me happy. Everyone was shitting on Incognito without the full story.
