Heard about this, the Zebras certainly get paid well for their limited workschedule.

If he had said that about Phil Loadholt, he’d be right.

Boo frikking hoo. That doesn’t even budge my Give-A-Crap-O-Meter at all.

Probably doesn’t rise to the level of a thousandth of what those players say to the officials.

You know, my first thought with the whole Miami/Incognito thing was “Hey, if he said crap like that, then they should discipline him.”

But the more I hear about it, the more I think this is as much the result of some bureaucratic POS who happens to be the mother of this player who also happens to be someone involved in this kind of hostile work environment litigation for a living.

IF this is true (and I doubt it) I wonder what the player said to the ref to prompt the statment. No way I believe a ref would just start calling a player names and trash talking him out of the blue for no reason at all. My bet is that there is much more to the exchange than we are getting here. In any event, when did NFL players start turning into a bunch of whining pu**ies. (sorry to paint with such a broad brush - I know the ones we are hearing from are a small group)

I dunno.

I can believe he was called a “FA” or garbage but both together doesn’t make much sense....

Well I hate to break it to him but we don’t want to watch a bunch of sissified, oversensitized pansies in pink uniforms hugging each other and calling it a tackle. It’s a man’s sport. It’s not for sissies. That’s the reason we watch it. If you can’t take the heat get out of the locker room and go work as security at a gay bar making 10,000 less a year...

I heard several Miami players on TV saying that Martin and Incognito were best friends and hung out together constantly pretty much up until the day Martin walked out. I'm starting to think he snapped, walked out and then came up with the bullying excuse to cover his ass.

Geez, obviously the ref was talking about the deadskins as a team not his fat ass

so it’s okay to haze and harass your team mates in the locker because that’s part of the sport but it is not okay for a ref to make a statement of FACT (suck it up Trent) with out some over paid player getting their feelings hurt

oh puhhhhleeeez

I’m sure glad that NFL offensive lineman now can show us their sensitive side, and that we as a culture are now ready to embrace their openness.

He should spend more time on the web. I would say the ref was being timid. LOL
