    Rent "Mean Girls" again, guys.

    There are a lot of times that all the girls go along to get along with the queen bee.

    And it all got boiled down to Martin being a sweet, sensitive Stanford grad and Incognito being an incorrigible meathead. Both of which might be true. I think there was a lot more to Martin having walked out of that lunchroom than the original stories suggested, and while I'm not going to ever be a fan of Richie Incognito, I don't think he should necessarily have had to sacrifice his season or his career for that. In hindsight, I think too much was made of Incognito's role in this whole thing, which suggests to me a masterful job of media manipulation crisis communication by Martin's handlers.

    It's funny that Martin much like Sherman got the benefit of the
    doubt because of his Stanford degree.

    Incognito would be an upgrade at guard for New England, and wouldn't be surprised if that happened.

    Or The Jets. Incognito is a Jersey guy.

    liberal white racism, blacks can't be intelligent without validation from a white institution.

    One grew up in Compton and the other went to one of the biggest rich-kid prep schools on the west coast, a school that costs over $30K to go to.

    The added benefit of a Compton education is the ability to deal with
    crude language.

    Not necessarily an addiction. I text quite a bit. Usually in groups. I have a group with 2 buddies and another with about five. The smaller group is from work and we talk about everything from office BS to sports and gambling. The other one is used to talk smack for our fantasy football league and make drinking plans. Sometimes funny photos are shared and we have long chats. Sometimes we go days with no texts. Not an addiction. Just a quick and dirty way to communicate without having to really interupt any part of your life.

    Richie Incognito has apparently decided to cede any moral high ground he's attained over the last few weeks:
