[Kaladin]

Good for Richie

Adam schefter is a canoe. Just like windhorst in the NBA.

I’ve always thought it seemed a little ridiculous a grown man in the NFL would be bullied but Richie does seem like a huge dick. He doesn’t really seem to shy away from it on podcasts either.

Read the article that quote from Martin is coming from. it’s true he, which I feel comes from pride, says yes he wasn’t bullied. But Richie incognito did cross lines, like this excerpt from the article:



"DO YOU WANT to hear the Richie Incognito voicemail?" Gus Martin asks.

He sits at his office desk at Dominguez in Carson, California. Early afternoon light comes through a window behind him. It's January 2024, and the semester has just begun.

He is a professor in criminal justice administration, and his class on mass shootings and the psychology behind them has just ended.

He keeps the recording in his phone. He places it on the desk and hits play.

It's Incognito's voice, April 6, 2013.

"Hey, wassup, you half-n----- piece of s---. I saw you on Twitter, you been training 10 weeks. I'll 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."




Incognito is a massive piece of shit.

and Martin was a big pussy. Both can be true.

True. Martin doesn’t deserve to be called racist slurs but if you’re a grown man and someone disrespects you like that do something about it rather than cry.

I think both things are true. Richie eventually became Martin’s best friend on the team according to multiple players, AND even convinced reporters to go easy on him after he had rough games because he knew how sensitive he was. It seems like Ritchie was a horrible prick until he got to know Martin, and then things changed dramatically.

 

[Driveway Jordan]

Mike Florio doubling-down on Martin being bullied…even though Martin himself recanted the story. Craziness!

I find it odd that a bunch of white men (I’m assuming most but not all are here) get to dictate how any minority can feel about being called racist slurs.

Still want to know more about the infamous funeral home tirade where he threatened to cut @HoboJoe’s head off

The people who got their panties all twisted about this are why we have glorified flag football now.

Glad Richie got his vindication about this railroad job.

I'm sure many of you know about my stories with Richie, but he was basically an old-school dude in an era that was shifting from that being acceptable. You think back to when our 90s players that were like Richie would try to make guys quit for not going hard, urinate through their locker on their shoes if they weren't wearing the proper Adidas gear, that happens now and a coach is probably fired. Think of some of the stories about the Peter brothers on old O street in the offseason and after games, if Richie was a decade earlier he's probably fine. He wasn't and honestly he had trouble figuring out when he was getting to the line, so he just went way past it.

While throwing the N-bomb at someone is never ok, I always go back to the story to illustrate what I talk about with him. Go watch the leaked video where him and Pouncey are playing pool in a Miami bar and he's using that word in front of him (not at him) and nothing comes of it. For a guy like Richie, it's very much a "I use that word all the time with a guy way better than you" mentality on why he thinks he could use it with a guy like Martin.

Not defending the guy, I just find it fascinating that if he were a 90s Osborne guy for us he may have been one of those we were glad he is back around helping coach like Jason Peter was with Frost, despite all of the stuff we know about him.

Well he wasn’t an 1990s era guy so…

True, but I understand the point he’s making.

Also not excusing Richie’s behaviors, but there has been a continuing gravitation toward judging previous era athletes against current socially acceptable norms.

I think we can say he is a giant dick, and also say he played pretty close to an era where that was not out of the norm. At all.

Some folks don't treat the N-word like Voldemort or Beetlejuice and think of it more of an insult like mother fucker. The hysteria some folks assign to the word is crazy.
