Dolphins' lineman Richie Incognito is suspended for bullying after 'calling teammate

[Jeff]

I find this to be ridiculous , this lineman is how big and he is going to let another punk him out of money , something just isn't adding up here .

Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Richie Incognito, 30, is alleged to have sent teammate Jonathan Martin a series of threatening text messages and voice mails.

In one of the disturbing exchanges Incognito referred to Martin, 24, as a ‘half-n*****’, while in another he threatened to defecating in his young teammate's mouth.

Incognito also made reference to tracking down members of Martin's family and harming them in other texts, reports CBS Sports.

I think Incognito is now done as a Pro ball player too, how dumb can you get. Leaving incriminating texts like he did was major league dumb. Hell, acting like a grammar school bully was dumb. But yeah, I can't believe a grown man allowed this to happen too. I would have told him to suck it and taken an ass beating before I coughed up that kind of dough!!

Incognito? Apparently he thought too much of his name. Reminded me of this

Here's Incognito going a little nutso in a bar with teammates. He refers to a crazy "nigga" in the beginning, referring to Mike Pouncey, his teammate in attendance (and also Steelers Maurkice Pouncey's brother). Clearly though he isn't wrapped tightly enough.

He's not wrapped at all.

I'll bet you three dirty words he ends up in trouble with the law in the next 30 days for something besides this scandal. He doesn't have the NFL protective umbrella any more.

Ricky Williams shoots it straight, "Not everyone is cut out for the NFL."

Ricky Williams shoots it straight, "Not everyone is cut out for the NFL."

He's spot on, and well spoken. I do hope they get to the bottom of this and resolve it in everyone's favor, but I also hope they can get past it and get everyone back on the field. I think Incognito was wrong in what he did and said, but it's football. There are still lines that shouldn't be crossed though, admittedly. It sounds like the more that I hear that these 2 guys were actually pretty good friends, then something went sour. But the behavior in question was there both before and after. That doesn't make it right, but it is a football locker room and these guys are generally a little whacky.
