Just kidding! I haven't really liked Martin and didn't like the pick when we chose him out of Stanford. Now I have to question every aspect of this choice. No matter what is going on you don't take your ball and go home to your Mommy. This stuff has to be kept in-house imo. I can't remember any NFL player walking out on his team over this kind of thing. How does he handle what other teams players say to him during games? I guess my big question is how does this o-line, which is clearly the weak point of our team, have extra time to come up with juvenile pranks. This falls on leadership and directly on the Head Coach. If he knew about it and didn't do anything to stop it he's a jerk, if he didn't know about it then he is a clueless jerk. We're barely hanging in there at 4-4 and now we have this absurd distraction hanging over us. Can you see this garbage happening on a Don Shula coached team? Good fun and some ribbing maybe but this is totally out of control and makes the Dolphin organization look very bad. This isn't a time for Philbin to refuse comment and pretennd this isn't happening. Before this turns into a Bountygate like happened in New Orleans Ross, Philbin etc must take some strong action and at least give the appearence that we know what the hell we're doing!!
 
Here is the deal. Bounty-gate got bad because they did not handle things after being told to do so.
 
True. I'm suggesting we get out in front of this thing by showing some very strong leadership. I'm saying we should be proactive here and stop the bleeding before it gets worse. If we do nothing it will get worse. If we need to fine or suspend some players or even coaches then do it. Then turn the page and put this behind us. Martin has an agenda, just wait and see. Both his parents are attorneys. Soon this will be about money and making the Dolphins look bad.
 
I hated the pick from the very first time I read a statement from an NFL Scout who said he would not pick Martin because he lacked toughness, wasn't physical etc and the scout said he hoped a divisional opponent selected Martin so his team could play against him. That should've told us the entire story on Martin.
 
No matter what is going on you don't take your ball and go home to your Mommy

That's exactly what he just did, and mommy and daddy are attorneys...he is not going to play another down in the NFL but he is going to get PAID and we are going to look very bad at the end of it...
 
Just another wasted 2nd round pick by Ireland

Hey Ireland why don't you draft players who are physical and tough physically and mentally?? Stop with the finesse crap and players who can't hit and be nasty.

I really hope that's all this amounts to, as the poster above said get out in front of this, (token) fines for whoever is responsible, roll-out a non-hazing/harassment policy and offer Martin the rest of his salary in exchange for his release and full and final settlement and keep everything crossed - THEN never draft anybody like this again...particularly if their parents are attorneys...
 
I hope that this doesn't result in Miami losing a first round draft pick.
 
I said an agenda not a vagina!!! I guess as it is turning out he has both.
