The Phins 'D' is off the chain; Great win last night over the Bungles on TNF. I know that Lake enjoyed that win.

Yep. I stayed up late last night trading trash talk via text with my boys from Cincinnati.

^ hope you keep your cell on late tomorrow too...so I can do the same

I hope Martin's mental health is OK.  This vaguely reminds me of when Reggie Rogers was with the Lions.

He may have been getting harassed by a teammate and that prank was the last straw....

Sources: NFLPA eyes Martin case

Miami Dolphins guard Richie Incognito's role in alleged harassment of teammate Jonathan Martin is under review by the NFL Players Association due to an incident that provoked Martin to leave the team, according to multiple sources.

One high-ranking Dolphins official who did not want to be identified defended Incognito as a player who has been a "model citizen" and was mystified by any allegations related to Incognito.

Meanwhile, several sources insisted Incognito was involved, adding that the incident was not isolated and extended to 2012, when Martin was a second-round draft pick by the team. One source said any emotional issues Martin is experiencing are directly related to his harassment.

So what happens when it's revealed that Martin is gay?

^Martin gets a book or movie deal to tell his story of being the first known active gay player in the NFL.

Early in the season, there was an ESPN profile on Incognito wherein he talked about being a changed man, a good guy now, etc. So I guess he just found a different avenue for being a bastard.

Incognito has been indefinitely suspended by the Dolphins. Lots of allegations flying of bullying and intimidation.

Not just toward Incognito, either.  Sounds like some "force the rookie to pick up the tab" games are going on that go far beyond the usual rookie hazing.

A sign that the Incognito story is becoming wheels off: A story from Deadspin about Richie's dad going over the line in trying to defend him.

Don't think I've ever pulled so hard for the Bucs as I did yesterday.

That game was theirs to lose.

Jack Del Rio has taken over as the Broncos interim head coach.

Don't think I've ever pulled so hard for the Bucs as I did yesterday.

That game was theirs to lose.

And they found a way to lose.  In any event, notice that was a UM rookie from Polk County running the rock for the Bucs yesterday. If they want to get a win, feed him the ball.

HIDE THE AXE.

Wow, Incognito text messages and voicemail to Martin coming out.. Martin is scared to go back to the Dolphin's locker room.

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."
