    • Things could be turning REALLY ugly in Miami...

    07:19 AM ET 11.06 | Perhaps taking a side isn't the point. [Miami's leadership void] extends to the coaching ranks, particularly if a Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel report that coaches ordered Incognito to "toughen up" Martin is true. ... [If true] the fact a coaching staff would order what is basically a Code Red on a player and use a player who was admittedly mentally unstable in the past to do it shows that staff is not just an accessory to this wrong but is actually complicit in the sin. And as the offender has been suspended and will be fired by not playing for the Dolphins again, so too the accomplice should be fired and not represent the Dolphins again. ... With respect to the Sun-Sentinel's reporting, I hope the information is not true.

    If the coaching staff is complicit, and ordered essentially a "code red" on a player that led to a breakdown, things are gonna get really ugly really quickly. If this is found to be true, I wouldn't be shocked to see the whole coaching staff dismissed after the season to keep Goodell from getting involved...
     
    Well, apparently Dolphins owner Ross requested the NFL/Goodell get involved...yikes.

    07:18 AM ET 11.05 | We have since learned that Dolphins owner Stephen Ross called NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to ask for help in the Jonathan Martin-Richie Incognito scandal. Ross is apparently aware that everyone he deals with in Dolphins football leadership -- [Joe Philbin], [Jeff Ireland], and executive vice president of football administration Dawn Aponte -- have agendas. That agenda is quite obviously keeping one's job. ... Jobs are indeed on the line. Ross is prepared to use the review to make career decisions on various people within the organization if they are found wanting by the review. Ross is prepared to make changes. And that means more than just Richie Incognito or Jonathan Martin are in the crosshairs. So this NFL review, requested at the highest levels by the Dolphins owner, has put everyone on notice.

    Knew Philbin was fucked when someone asked him a direct question about whether HE knew anything about what was going on and he said "That is a matter for the NFL to determine." If he can't answer that question, he's dead meat.

    When the owner of any business is confronted with the undeniable fact that his professional managers are willing to subjugate the interests of the enterprise to their own personal interests, the professional managers lose.

    100% of the time.

    Jeff Ireland is the main problem and should have been ousted a couple of years ago.

    He was the one who asked Dez Bryant about his mom then got fired in Dallas.

    He was the one who brought in Incognito off waivers from St Louis

    He was the one who drafted Martin when it was known he had some mental issues

    He was the one who fucked up the coaching search (from what I have heard, Harbaugh would have come here from Stanford, but Jeff rubbed him the wrong way)

    He is the source of the cancer in the Miami Dolphins club house. Ross needs to cut ties with him now.

    This story gets weirder and weirder.

    Now we have Dolphins veterans who are coming out, sticking up for the racist moron and saying they thought the two of them were friends.

    We know Richie Incognito is a dumbass. A racist. Probably a guy with some anger issues. But it's clear to me that he had the backing of the other players in the locker room, the coaches and seemingly everyone from at least the GM on down in the organization.

    What isn't clear to me is what drove Martin to this reaction. There's no way this was the only occurrence and he almost certainly wasn't the only player subjected to it. While Incognito has serious issues of his own (as do other players in the org as well as org management), this Martin guy is a mental case as well.

    Weird goings on in Cryami these days.

    Incognito is a bit Jersey Shore, while Martin is more 90210.

    Martin turned down a scholarship to Harvard (and he'd have been his family's fourth generation to go to Harvard) because he wanted to experience big time college football. An NFL locker room full of people that weren't as smart as him had to be complete culture shock. Think Carlton Banks.
