Cog's Saga...

Thought this was interesting from RI's grievance...

That "the only detriment to the club arising out of this incident is the harm resulting from the media strategy employed by Mr. Cornwell and Mr. Martin's other representatives. ... Had Mr. Martin and Mr. Cornwell approached this complaint as a professional employment complaint rather than a media blitz, the club could have carried out an orderly, impartial investigation and determined that Mr. Martin's mental health issues are unrelated to Mr. Incognito or any other member of the Dolphins organization."

But we don't really KNOW the cause. If Philbin's coaching staff set Richie as the tool by which they intended to MAKE Martin fit into their idea of what a football player should be, rather than seeing Martin for what he was, then they set themselves up for the media blitz.

If you can’t come up with a better way to achieve your goals than hazing, you're not trying hard enough. Period.

We all know that some people can't take the heat. That's not necessarily Martin's fault. On the other hand, dealing the racist card was a dirty trick.
