Like I said, I wouldnt want either of these guys on my team. One likes to run away, the other is a pathetic jerk off.
Most of these jocks are nothing but spoiled pampered, and mentally immature. Icognito is 30 years old and still playing these little college pranks.

You're kidding. Wow. Now I have to grind my brain trying to figure how sports team hazing ties in to political ideology.

True. But also, I wouldnt call extortion just a college prank. Granted, $15k is chump change to them and would be like college kids doing this with $50 or something so you do have a point there I suppose. But threatening the family, even though Id never take it seriously was grounds for an ass whooping.

This whole thing shouldve been handled in house. Either between these two "men" or with their coaches.

Are you people for real? You really think violence is an appropriate response to harassment by a coworker? That's nuts.

And Martin clearly said something to his superiors. He told them he wouldn't be returning to work until the situation was resolved.

And Martin was probably a good target since he's not the typical NFLer. Martin is a Stanford trained Classics scholar from a family of scholars and lawyers.

I'm more interested in the allegations of the slob mentality of the veteran Miami players who force rookie players to pick up the tab on expensive dinners and nights on the town. That sounds like one F'ed up organization. And we thought the Patriots or the Heat were loser teams....

He is a second year player, he doesn't make much, probably under half a mil. Big money only goes to players who have been in the league more than three years..

They took his credit card and went to Las Vegas and racked up $23000.00 and he wasn't along. They should get Incognito for grand theft..
