Jonathan Martin and the Miami Dolphins

From the roster on the Dolphins team site:

Martin: 6-5, 312
Incognito: 6-3, 319

 

Thank you for teaching me about what it's like inside a sports locker room. I've never been in one before.

 

Hey, don't knock that approach. It's what won us the 'Nam.

 

OK, so let's go with that measure - the roster I saw had him 6-6, 325 - but let's say he is 6-foot-5, 312 - doesn't change my point even a little bit - stop being a pussy and handle this shit.

And if the extra seven pounds he has on you scares you, take a baseball bat with ya when you go to handle it.

 

I know this.

 

It's true. Never. Not once.

 

Well if you had been you wouldn't act shocked that some times these guys fight and it is sometimes the best and only way to send a message to a dickhead teammate.

 

It's not about being larger or being able to kick the bully's ass. Something tells me this wasn't a 1-on-1 battle. When these situations happen it tends to be a mob that goes after the victim. Incognito is probably the just guy leading the charge. If it was as easy as punching him in the face it would have ended years ago. He came in as a rookie and didn't know how to react then. It's crystal clear to me to see how this can escalate to where it did, and how Martin was disabled from really doing anything about it.

The Dolphins need to release this piece of shit and I hope he ends up playing for the Iowa Barnstormers.

 

Zag, your act is really old, and tired.

A guy who is 6'5", 312 who decides not to handle things with violence doesn't mean he's a "wimp". It likely means he knows he could seriously hurt someone, and is not interested in doing so, for a number of reasons.

That makes him strong, not weak. The easy thing to do would be to respond in the manner you suggest.

 

So Martin takes a ball bat into the locker room and knocks Incognito into a) the emergency room, b) intensive care, or c) the morgue. What does Martin tell a) his teammates, b) his coaches, c) NFL brass, and d) the cops, then?

 

Definitely what's best for the team is for one starting offensive lineman and possibly two to end up in the hospital. Hopefully a few more can get injured trying to break it up.

 

But when that story breaks, the rest of the league will know there isn't a SINGLE pussy in the Dolphins' locker room.
