Around the NFL Week 10

The one word most often associated with Incognito is teammate. That the players are more sympathetic towards him in that way makes me think a desperate GM would scoop him up in a pinch. Incognito is only 30 years old. He could sit out an entire season and still come back once this blows over.

I think both guys will resume their careers elsewhere.

I think this is a case, much like bounty gate, where the curtain of the NFL is pulled back and the public doesn't like what it sees, but this is the reality of life in an NFL locker room.

Just gets crazier and crazier

Richie Incognito never bullied Jonathan Martin, Lydon Murtha says | The MMQB with Peter King (http://mmqb.si.com/2013/11/07/richie-incognito-jonathan-martin-dolphins-lydon-murtha/)

Wow, this piece is interesting. Martin seemed to distance himself from the jump. I think his previous experiences had much different atmospheres from a current NFL locker room. Harvard-Westlake is a prep school catering to a pretty affluent student base and Stanford, is of course, Stanford.

But then again, there are more than a few acclimated NFL players who played for private schools and academically elite universities... this guy probably just had a different makeup.

I haven't had time to listen to his podcast, but I'd be curious to see what Ross Tucker has to say about this (Princeton guy).

Yup and like many workplaces, schools, neighborhoods, etc.
As far as this particular case of two people who had an issue with each other (which again is much like the rest of the world) i agree - they both wind up elsewhere. Hopefully not with the Skins either.
I mean I really dont think Incognito was planning a hit on Martin. Lol. Im not even slightly interested in the story anymore.

Nice guys always finish last.

But I could see both of them scooping up a job somewhere else, just on the incident by itself. I mean, hell, if Manti Te'o can get a job after his fake girlfriend fiasco, I think anything is possible.

I don't know how good they are as players. If Martin is only a second or third string player coupled with this bullying incident, then yeah, I'd say he's probably done.

Stop right there! The proper term is "reality-challenged girlfriend." :)

Actually the settlers started calling them "reality challenged girlfriends". Most of them like to be identified by their specific screen names.

Well played

Lydon Murtha's article is eye opening. It is unfortunate that this may end Incognito's career. I think another poster on here talked about Ricky Williams mental condition relating it to Jonathan Martin, I think that is spot on.
I also think Martin coming from a financially prudent family, spending thousands of dollars on going out didn't make since. So he felt forced and alienated to do it. I get it.

Like Adam Archuleta who exposed the Redskins locker room, I'm not sure JM will ever be welcomed back on a team as a player. That may be why it looks like he is pursuing a lawsuit. He reaction is over the top IMO. If you bothered by it so much punch Incognito in the face and be done with it, or request force a trade. Now you have painted yourself as a snitch.
