I really wanted us to sign Incognito but it appears he's a real prick.
It sounds almost criminal when you read the accounts. It's not much different than how the Mafia works; it's extortion through the threat of harm. It's amazing that some of these people actually forked over their cash.
Sources told ESPN that one of the significant allegations being reviewed is that Incognito got Martin to contribute $15,000 to help finance a trip to Las Vegas by some teammates last summer, even though Martin preferred not to travel with the group.
Rather than go, Martin simply gave Incognito the $15,000, sources told ESPN, fearing the consequences if he did not hand over the money.
One source said there are other instances of intimidation captured in text messages and at least one demeaning voice mail. In addition, some of the messages were racially charged in nature, according to ESPN and media reports. The alleged racial aspect of the communication was first reported by Fox Sports. Also, Martin's recent reported text communications with Incognito that indicated he did not hold the guard responsible for his absence were sent out of fear of retribution, sources told ESPN.
Multiple sources confirmed to ESPN that the following is a transcript of a voice message Incognito left for Martin in April 2013, a year after Martin was drafted:
"Hey, wassup, you half n----- piece of s---. I saw you on Twitter, you been training 10 weeks. [I want to] s--- in your f---ing mouth. [I'm going to] slap your f---ing mouth. [I'm going to] slap your real mother across the face [laughter]. F--- you, you're still a rookie. I'll kill you."
...Sources also say Martin received a series of texts that include derogatory terms referring to the female anatomy and sexual orientation.
I'm going to be really disappointed if there isn't a lot more to this story that we don't know about. Because otherwise, why didn't Martin just make it known to all his teammates that this stuff was being said, beat the shat out of Incognito, and that be the end of it?
Thats what I don't understand. I mean, I know Incognito is a big dude... but isn't Martin pretty good sized dude himself?
Even if he's smaller... fucking stand up for yourself, pussy.
I'm not defending what Incognito did by any means... just sayin... don't be a pussy.
Someone fucks with you, fuck with them back. Take a beating if you have to.
