2013 NFL regular season thread

[Senator Clay Davis]

Riley Cooper ate a lot of #### for his dumb comments but he's got nothing on Richie Incognito. I'd imagine his NFL career is now over. Amazingly he's gone from notorious cheap shot artist to notorious racist. Not sure which I'd rather be.

Adam Schefter ✔@AdamSchefter
1: Richie Incognito left this VM for Jonathan Martin in April 2013: "Hey, wassup, you half n----- piece of (expletive)...
2. More Incognito to Martin: "I saw you on Twitter, you been training ten weeks. (I want to) (expletive) in your (expl) mouth....
3. Incognito VM to Martin: "(I'm going to) slap your (expletive) mouth. (I'm going to) slap your real mother across the face (laughter).
4. Incognito to Martin, all on same VM in April 2013: "(Expletive) you, you're still a rookie. I'll kill you."

Any white dude who has as many tribal tattoos as Incognito should be released anyway.

[Da_Chief]

What a dummy. Hopefully he gets released and no one looks at this turd.

[chemgear]

Clearly a bully with a pattern of behavior.

Incognito has not hid his displeasure with Schefter, ESPN and several of the media outlets covering the developing story.

Incognito has had all sorts of pshyche issues, the guy should be institutionalized full time, and forced to pay for it with his own money. The guy can play the game when he's focused, but he's Sean Avery like for how poisonous he is to the team locker room.

And it runs in the family:

Even Dolphins fans seem somewhat fed up with Incognito, who can't seem to avoid trouble off the field and is one of the league's dirtiest players on it. But on a popular Dolphins message board, Incognito has at least one strident defender—and it might be his dad.

Google search for "idrd1994" turns up a number of posts on RC car message boards, from a user claiming to live in Arizona—where the Incognitos moved when Richie Jr. was 11. "idrd1994" is also a profile on MyLife.com, registered under one Richie Incognito, age 63, from Glendale, Ariz.

Update: Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald spoke to the FinHeaven board administrator. idrd1994 registered with a date of birth of 12/14/1949, which matches Richie Incognito Sr.'s birthday.

Early this morning, a poster with the username "idrd1994" left an impassioned defense of Incognito on the FinHeaven message board. In it, he attacked both Martin and Mike Pouncey as "black brothers that do drugs on a regular basis," and asked readers to "pray [GM Jeff] Ireland and [coach Joe] Philbin die of AIDS." He blasts the team from top to bottom, claims Incognito is getting railroaded, and uses the "black people say the N-word in rap music" argument to dismiss claims that Incognito sent racial messages to Martin. He also implies that Martin has pondered suicide, and "does not belong in an NFL locker room."

[Sylvanfan]

There was an ESPN thing on Incognito at the start of the year about him being the angriest man in football. The link is probably at the start of this thread or the NFL offseason thread.

I seem to remember his dad being one of his biggest defenders in that artical.

[OILFAN #81]

This is so disgusting. Incognito is a piece of trash. He was voted the 2nd dirtiest player in the NFL prior to the 2012 season so is on field play isn't great either. I am disgusted at those voicemails he left to Martin. How can you say that to anyone let alone a teammate???? And why did he single out Martin? He isn't the only one with that skin color on the team. Hope he never plays again.

Also if the cafeteria thing was true (other teammates walked away as he sat at the table), why did they join in/let it go on for so long??? I'm sure they knew what was up.

I know you were sick of him in Philly, but he is a breath of fresh air compared to Todd Haley and Romeo Crennell.

"He's done," a ranking club source said Monday. "There are procedures in place and everyone wants to be fair. The NFL is involved. But from a club perspective he'll never play another game here."

I am sorry but that is not enough. Very curious to hear who Martin brought this stuff to prior to deciding to leave the team. I would be shocked if some or all of the coaching staff was unaware of any of this.

Oh yeah, his players always loved him in Philly, too. He's doing a great job in KC. However, Chiefs fans have yet to fully experience Andy try to manage the last five minutes of a close game, brought to you by "How is an onside kick a higher percentage play than a two-point conversion?"

Wasn't his undoing in Philly more to do with the fact that he started getting more say in player personnel decisions? About 4-5 years back some of the guys who were in the Eagles front office started moving on to other organizations, and didn't Reid start getting more and more say with the draft? Ultimately resulting in a roster that wasn't as strong as it was during his run of 5 straight Championship games.

He did have some issues over the years managing the final 5 minutes of games, mind you that seems to be an issue with every single head coach. In a way it seems Brian Billick like where a guy who was thought of more as an offensive guy comes in and the offence is doing nothing, but his defence has been pretty dominating. The defence will start getting tested in these final 7 games though.

I really like the new MNF intro with the old clips.

we dont need some girl singing some song.

[transplant99]

yeesh....hope Rodgers is ok....good start but dont like the way it stalled as soon as they crossed the 20...happened a lot this year.

[GirlySports]

Someone hold transplants hand.

[transplant99]

??

[DropIt]

on the board!

If Rodgers is out, we may have a shot

[transplant99]

Not exactly the start GB needed...the Rodgers thing is frightening though....if hes out, season is more or less over.

[DropIt]

If Wallace tears the Bears D apart, I wont be happy
