Gangstas casing the joint:



Thug life!

Thinking of that kid cahooting around with that furry white ninja makes me smile.
What a hoot growing up with a partner in crime like that.

Voice messages from Miami Dolphin Richie Incognito to teammate Jonathan Martin:


@adamschefter

This is the tip of the iceberg.
Incognito's father is reportedly using an alias on Twitter to spread vicious rumors about Martin.

Don't look now but the Miami Dolphins may implode over threats and racial taunts

The Miami Dolphins have suspended offensive lineman Richie Incognito indefinitely, as an investigation into the developing Jonathan Martin situation unfolds. NFL Network’s Jeff Darlington was the first to report the news Sunday night.

“We believe in maintaining a culture of respect for one another and as a result we believe this decision [to suspend Incognito] is in the best interest of the organization at this time,” the Dolphins said in a release. “As we noted earlier, we reached out to the NFL to conduct an objective and thorough review. We will continue to work with the league on this matter.”

Martin walked out on the Dolphins Monday, reportedly because he had been subjected to substantial ridicule from some of his teammates. Incognito was placed at the heart of those incidents, on multiple occasions by ESPN. He took to Twitter on Sunday morning to demand his name be “cleared,” after the Dolphins released a statement saying that “the notion of bullying is based on speculation and has not been presented to us as a concern.”

Incognito’s series of tweets included one that implored ESPN’s Adam Schefter to “stop slandering my name.”

However, an additional report from Schefter and his colleague Chris Mortensen read that “Martin has not filed a formal complaint because he fears retribution, primarily from Incognito.” Then, on Fox Sports Live Sunday night, NFL insider Mike Garafolo said that (per Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller), “Multiple sources told me Martin’s camp informed Dolphins and NFLPA that Incognito sent threatening and racially charged texts”

This is going to be nasty. There are supposedly several players who were involved with Incognito although he was the ringleader.
This also may be investigated as a possible hate crime.
AND this may take down a lot of people in the hierarchy. Somebody knew.
