I'll never agree with or defend any player in that locker room allowing Richie to use the N word in any way, shape, or form, but, as far as the rest, Marin opened up a can or worms that he won't live down

Schefter made this personal. He was burned by an incognito story once before, and Cog was calling him out all morning before story broke. Schefter wanted to inflict maximum damage, and went against his role as an impartial journalist to spin the story to fit his agenda. Clear as day now

There has to be some way that these talking heads be held accountable.... Logic shows that Schefty (and his producers/higher ups) knowingly and willingly molded this story into the feeding frenzy that it has become, only to drive more clicks and add more viewers to the already monster of a network.

Armando Salguero was just on the Dan Patrick show.

I typed up a summary of the interview in my thread. http://www.finheaven.com/showthread...k-show&p=1064861234&viewfull=1-post1064861234

Most of it was the same old stuff that we've already heard. But one part really stood out to me. I put the bold to highlight the important part.

Trust Dan P to get to the Bottom of this. Another talking head who I'd like to hear is Bob Costas.

As for Dan's old tag team partner (Olbermann), I was disappointed last night. He had an expert on adult bullying from U Mass-Amherst. It was some lady who made Lillith Crane seem warm & nurturing.

Geez, Keith, Martin's dad is allegedly an expert in bullying. Was he unavailable?

I've been saying from the beginning Scheftler is wrong and has an agenda. but I was challenged with when was he ever wrong bs

He's had an anti-Incognito agenda that dates back to earlier this season when Antonio Smith tried to decapitate Incognito he took Antonio Smith's side bringing up last season's game, trying to give Smith a Pass for swinging his helmet at him. When you know if it was anyone else he would've been playing up the whole "we could be seeing a huge suspension"card.

It's 2013 that word is a daily word for most people.

These are the parts that to me stands out the most of everything I've heard...

Q: What is the line that's left out, that they omitted?

A: After Richie goes on his foul rant, he laughs, and then his tone of voice changes and Richie very calmly says... "Okay, Call me Back."

Then

Understand 2 things, Jon Martin called him back.

Also according to Hartline and other players, Martin played the voicemail for the team and it became a joke. Jon was even laughing about it..


Here is the thing, Richie has a thug mentality, and seems to be a bit of a meathead at times, but if you watch enough of him, you can see he is also a huge clown, making and playing jokes on people, but he is also very loyal, and seems to be a stand up guy.

Is what he said a bit to maybe a lot offensive? Sure, but if anybody actually believes this is the only case of this type of joking around (YES, he was kidding around with Martin), then people might be either too ignorant to know how some people kid around with each other, or have an agenda, that they just refuse to look at, in fear it may go against what they believe or want to believe.
