Jonathan Martin and the Miami Dolphins

This is the real NFL campaign

Read this over the weekend, but it takes on added absurdity given Schefter's story on the voice mails:

I must've not worked anywhere with "traditional hazing," because I've never had a co-worker call me, threaten to kill me and tell me he's gonna shit in my mouth.

 

Dungy had a chance to get him and said he wanted no parts of him.

 

Schefter is super tight with the agents at that firm. No surprise there.

That is not a knock at Schefter in any way. This is great reporting.

 

No offense to Jonathan Martin, but what kind of pussy is this guy?

Dude is 6-foot-6, 325 pounds (according to roster) -- why the fuck is he letting anyone talk to him like this. I can assure you this - I ain't close to that height or weight and if someone started fucking with me like that I'd take a fucking baseball bat to their fucking skull if that is what it took to get my point across.

This isn't a meek, nerdy first grader getting picked on the bus by 6th graders - the guy is 6-foot-6, 325 pounds for Christ sakes, he should have handled this from the start.

 

Violence is always the answer.

 

Least surprising post, ever.

 

I just read this ...

... and was going to reply "I guess you never worked with zag."

 

Sometimes it is the only answer - if this dude had handled this shit the right way, like knock that Incognito asshole out, this all ends quickly

 

Maybe Martin considers himself a professional. And maybe he knows that professionals don't settle their problems at the office by handling "this shit the right way," by your definition.

 

Teammate Y constantly bullies Teammate X. One day, X decides he's fed up and fights Y. X swings a helmet and hits Y in the head. Y suffers a concussion. Teammates then go after X. X breaks his wrist while falling and trying to fend off the others. Team cuts X two hours later. X now has a broken wrist, probably won't get signed by another team and could be charged with assault with a deadly weapon if Y chose to press charges, also may face a civil suit.

That's just one scenario.

 

I don't believe in hazing or bullying of any type and I think if someone wants to fuck with you in that way, all bets should be off about what you are allowed to do to them to make sure they understand they need to stop.

In other words, if Martin walks in to the locker room grabs his helmet out of his locker and walks over to Icognito and crowns his ass with the helmet and it causes Icognito to fall down in a pool of his own blood and have to be taken to the hospital and have his jaw wired shut and eat via a tube for six weeks, well, so be it.

Fuck these assholes.

I was just watching the news a few days ago, this little snot-nosed teenie bopper and her little brother were trick or treating and came upon a house where nobody was home but a 17-year old girl.

The two kids started bitching because she didn't have candy and started talking shit, the 17 year old told them to get off her porch and they kept talking shit -- so she removed their ass from her porch and whupped their little punk asses.

And of course, wah, wah, pussified society, the girl and her mom are on the news crying and whining because "she just wanted some candy..."

Yeah, bitch, then teach your daughter to be respectful and not to fuck with people and maybe she won't get her ass whupped.....

And it is the same thing here - - you are 6-foot-6, 325 pounds and an NFL player, which means you aren't just some fat sloppy weak piece of shit.

If you can't take care of this problem yourself, well, I don't know how we can help you.....
