    Philbin is obviously a dead man walking, and he clearly knows it.

    The Phins are the circus of the NFL, either them or the Patriots.

    Reading the preliminary reports my main question at this point is whether or not Incognito has committed multiple felonies in the course of harrassing Martin.

    Hate speech is not protected if it crosses into the domain of threatening behavior.

    This could become a very big deal.

    Steve Young, Trent Dilfer, and Ray Lewis are absolutely destroying Incognito and the entire Dolphins franchise on ESPN, saying that between their total 48 years of professional football they never heard of anything like this. They keep coming back to saying how it shows a total lack of leadership from both the coaches and the players.

    I don't like Incognito and I don't care for the Phins but there's something sinister about the amount of media schadenfreude since this case went public. Schefter is definitely getting some mileage out of this.

    Really good interview. I was waiting for him to say Incognito shouldn't even play dodgeball.

    Liked how he said this never would have happened on the Jets and then rattled off half a dozen players who would have put an end to it.

    from 2009:

    http://blogs.riverfronttimes.com/th...cognito_a_few_fries_short_of_a_happy_meal.php

    ...by far the worst offender was Richie Incognito. The burly blonde lineman was single-handedly responsible for 35 yards worth of penalties, including two drive-killing unnecessary roughness flags for fighting after the whistle. He also missed a block that allowed one of the three 'Hawks sacks. And when he was yanked from the line-up at start of the second half he jawed at the coach over the decision.

    Since this type of play and behavior is pretty much par for the course for number 68, one has to wonder if there's a legitimate excuse for his antics. While Incognito and Spagnuolo (who said the guard would retain his starting role) prefer to fall back on the tried and true lines that he's just "passionate," "intense" and suffering "first-game jitters," the only viable explanation seems to be that Incognito is a few fries short of a happy meal.

    In other words, he's not the brightest crayon in the box, the sharpest tool in the shed, or the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree.

    The facts are there to support the argument that Incognito might not be all there. Here are the five symptoms of mental retardation according to Google Health:

    Symptoms

    Continued infantile behavior
    Decreased learning ability
    Failure to meet intellectual developmental markers
    Inability to meet educational demands at school
    Lack of curiosity

    Let's see how the Rams guard stacks up.

    Infantile Behavior: The penalties help prove the first trait, but don't forget that the lineman also held out for a large signing bonus after being taken in the third round of the NFL draft, then used the money to buy a BMW equipped with 22 TV screens. Check.

    Decreased Learning Ability: Since Incognito can't seem to grasp the fact that fighting equates to trouble (he even said he "played a hell of a game" yesterday), I'd say a lack of learning ability is definitely a problem. Also, his lack of knowledge of blocking schemes appears to support this claim as well. Check.

    Failure to meet intellectual development markers: Ditto above.

    Inability to meet intellectual demands at school: Incognito was kicked out of school at Nebraska and off the football team for fighting at a party. Then he was booted off the Oregon football team before playing a game. That's a big check.

    Lack of Curiosity: This seems to be the only flaw in the argument. Incognito has been curious about lots of things, including how many tattoos he can fit on his arms, and what will happen if he makes the same mistakes over and over again for the rest of his playing career.

    Conclusion: Incognito is undoubtedly able bodied and lacking in the brain department but probably not to the point that he could actually be diagnosed with a real mental handicap. It's a shame too: While not qualified to play professional football, he'd make a hell of a ringer in the special Olympics.
