huh?
I clicked on this hoping for some insight and new information, and you're telling me you read a wiki page and diagnosed him?
Oh my god.
You know what, I don't know if Martin has a mental illness or not. The only surprising thing to me is that he comes from a family heritage where half of them are Harvard grads and he chose to be a lineman in the NFL.
I don't know what his deal is. Maybe he's confused about what he wants in the NFL. Maybe he's confused about his sexuality. Or, maybe he was really bullied. I don't have any idea. But I can tell you that the younger generation coming out now, are not like the generations before them. They want more, expect more, but are willing to put up with way less crap to get it, and have their own mind about things. Jason Taylor was crippled, under the stadium, getting needles shot in his feet so he could go back on the field and not lose his job. Guys like Martin are not ever going to get close to doing that. He's going to line up, and try to block his man. Sometimes he will, sometimes he won't. He'll still want to get paid.
When I saw him last night I think I got it - and while I understand many of us are outraged at him - if you are a curious person about this whole thing this may help.
He may be a Schizoid Personality Disorder - http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/schizoid-personality-disorder/DS00865

I posted above a Mayo Clinic and Wikipedia description - a loner - isolative - non- emotional - non-expressive (no-one knew it was bothering him) a bit odd or weird or strange. Usually these people are thought of as very caring but due to damage in their childhood to the way people cared or NOT about them or each other damages something in them and results in this odd or weird disposition.
For most of us in relationship a piece of information is processed as goes in A comes out B - for Martin it might go in A and come out Z and you have NO IDEA why - and that is what's going on now.
If he was Schizoid Personality Disorder Jeff Ireland blew it HUGE time in drafting him. No matter what those personality issues are going to leave your team with a lot of strange moments - and we got that on steroids.
Likely you have two very narcissistic parents who did not care for or know how to love at all. They may be the victim types who love to blame.
