Mind you I only played into college but the dressing room didn't work that way. You can be tough but there are still alphas and psychos within that group. There's a definite and defined pecking order in the locker room. The whole idea of admitting any kind of weakness or ganging up would have been a completely foreign concept.

I've definitely seen hazing or rookie initiation go to far but never said a word. Football was the worse of any sport by far, followed by hockey.

Well, and not that I know anywhere near enough of the story, but this definitely went way past rookie hazing and into bullying, and as big of a deal as it would be for him to lose his career, he deserves to get what he was giving. and is he really the only one doing all this? Or will there be other names coming out soon of players that were doing this along with incognito ?

I would guess that every team has those that step over the line but if the team has leadership from the top down, it doesn't get out of hand. It's Ray Emery in Chicago versus Philly.

Hearing Sportscenter anchors read the text of Incognito's voicemails and substituting in "n-word" and "expletive" is at the same time hilarious and sad.

"I want to [expletive deleted] in your [expletive deleted] mouth!"

The Miami Herald is reporting that there are several rookies literally living paycheck to paycheck right now because of how much money they're being forced to spend on the vets.

the problem is richie is the ringleader but there are others who are basically as guilty for extorting the money from these rookies

Like I said, I'm really hoping that this episode also puts this arrangement to an end in the NFL.

i like philbin as a coach.. he seems like a straight up guy.. how does he let this stand?? and if he is clueless, how much control does he have of these guys??

also the thought of tannehill having to support those shithead linemen in any form is sickening

True but you can't go too hard on the Dolphins management or their coaching staff. To let it get as far as it did there was a complete lack of leadership from the top down. Trainers, equipment managers and many others would have seen what was happening but the tone set by management and coaching would have been "that doesn't matter". Management and coaching didn't want to know so they set up lines of communication and lack of open door policy so this kind of thing can happen. I can almost gaurantee you that it will come out that someone tried to mention it but management/coaching wasn't interested in hearing.

Once you have a coach that cares more about individual on field performance rather than adhering to a process that should result in team success, you have a breeding ground for assholes. Put those assholes in leadership roles and you get this. I've had plenty of that type of coach and they can have good teams but seldom will they have great teams as they leave too many of their own players behind.
