C.Biscuit97 Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 RI looks is the ideal bully. He looks like an oversized kid. And whenever someone stands up to hit (Seymour, Antonio Smith), he acts like a coward. The guy is worthless and is the perfect example of people coddling an athlete.

BillsRUs Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Can someone please tell me what all if these posts about Pat Moran and his daughters mean? Ive seen them pop up a couple times through the years but don't understand them. It all stems from Patrick Moran reporting that Merriman was caught smuggling steroids across the border a few years ago. Everyone questioned his sources and he decided that in lieu of concrete proof, it would suffice to swear on the life of his daughter. Needless to say the Buffalo Bills and the Border Police refuted all allegations and Moran issued some weird half hearted redaction/apologies. More on that here, here and if you want the really juice stuff, here

They keep doing the same stuff. It's why TO act like a whiny baby his whole career.

It's why TO act like a whiny baby his whole career. i dont know that it will here. think that cooper had practice fights with team mates and questions if guys would welcome him back and his was a one time use in a heated moment and drunk.... this is a guy thats now been documented doing across a variety of incidents. not to mention the PR hit a team would take. i dont think hes a good enough player that a gm is going to stick his neck out for him -- especially being 31 at the start of next year.

boyst Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Boy, that escalated quickly IMO drawing straws this probably means they have dirty hands in this and want to clean themselves as quickly as possible
26CornerBlitz Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 IMO drawing straws this probably means they have dirty hands in this and want to clean themselves as quickly as possible Sounds like the right take to me.
dezertbill Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 He's not going to be playing this year, and maybe next. At his age it will be tough to catch onto another team with his history. It doesn't seem that this guy belongs in a professional league. He's a piece of work.
GG Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Incognito may be out of the league, but I have a feeling we'll be reading about him in a few years.
Captain Caveman Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 a former coach that liked him So you're telling me there's a chance no chance?

Rob's House Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 i think most seemed ready to be upset long before any racial stuff came out. i think simply now that its been confirmed hes the guy and he was deserving of backlash you are actually getting the backlash. but if you want to make it about that, have at it. That may be true. The first I heard of it was in that context. Don't get me wrong, calling people 1/2 !@#$s is a dick move, (can you imagine the outrage if he'd called him a full blown n-word) I just find it funny that we as a society find that more offensive than willfully trying to break a guy's ankles.
BillsRUs Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Eric Wood was on WGR and was asked about the whole hazing/ Incognito thing. To summarize: 1. RI showed poor judgement and definitely crossed lines. 2. Its up to veteran leaders to take care of such situations. 3. "Rookie nights" can be fun, team building exercises. 4. Has not experienced nor observed any serious rookie hazings as a Bill 5. Must know when to take a step back if the hazee seems vulnerable and can not take the ribbing in spirit. 6. This year the Bills gave the rookies bad haircuts. One of the rookies has eczema on his scalp and they decide to pull back on shaving this person's head since he seemed especially self conscious about it. 7. As a rookie, Eric was invited by the O-line to a free dinner at a Rochester restaurant. He shows up to PF Changs to learn that the meal will be free for everyone but him. He ends up paying for the entire O-line. At the end of the meal, the waiter shows up with a dessert cart so they can each pick a dessert for the night. Langston Walker takes one look at the cart and goes, "Thats nice. Now bring us 4 carts"

Speak for yourself on the ankles. No place for that word and frankly I hate dirty play. Hate it. I love football, and I like it more when guys beat each other straight up
Rob's House Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 This thread attracted a lot of strong opinions well before any mention of half N-words. Race has played a minor role thus far in this thread. Let me be clear. My comments are not exclusively directed at those who have posted in this thread. I first heard about this on sports talk radio & that was the angle they went with. I've heard it from others since. I haven't read the whole thread, but I'm glad to hear the discourse has been more enlightened than what I've heard elsewhere.
Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 To me, this situation boils down to 2 things: 1. Richie Incognito is a complete jackass. 2. Jonathan Martin is soft. #1 we all knew anyways, so let me elaborate just a bit on #2. What Incognito did to Martin as far as the racial slurs and such crossed the line, no doubt. He is a jerk and a bully. But, on to Martin. This is the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE. You are a grown man. This is your livelihood. To me, you cannot let some bullying and getting picked on cause you to leave your career behind, even for an abbreviated period of time. He needed to either stand up to Incognito himself or go to coaches/management without sacrificing his career. There are A LOT of people around the world who are going through MUCH worse things, yet still getting up to go to their sh*tty 9-5 job day in and day out. Just my two cents.
