La Canfora: No bombshells found in investigation, could be trouble for Martin

To this point there have been no blockbusters or smoking guns in terms of the evidence he has unearthed.

Wells is several weeks into his investigation and aside from the racially charged nature of some comments with Incognito, who is white, directing the N-word at African Americans, something already well known in this case, there do not appear to be any major discoveries thus far, according to sources with knowledge of the case. What had been learned about the complicated and racially insensitive relationship between Martin and Incognito will not look good for either of them, according to sources, but with many of Incognito’s transgressions already a part of the public record, it could end up being even more troubling for Martin, sources said.

Sources said that while it is fairly clear that Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland and members of the coaching staff knew there was some unusual behavior being exhibited by the offensive linemen on the team, and Incognito and Martin in particular, figuring out true culpability will be a challenge. Furthermore, much of the contact was in private, via text, between just those parties, while not within the confines of the team facility, so determining how much of this was workplace harassment and how much was not endemic to the workplace presents another set of issues as well.

That takes a lot for Laconfora to write as well. He has wanted to hang everyone in the Dolphins organization.

God I wish this all comes back to bite martin in the butt. Both guys r pretty much done in the nfl but I hope martins case just gets buried. What a wuss

I suspected from the beginning that there was never anything here beyond the 'N' word.

I suspect Martin found the one thing he could that would polarize public perception and used it to suit his needs at the time.

"Martin is a snake"


can anyone photoshop this?

LaCanfora is a joke of a reporter, but there is nothing to dispute this report. This is what most of us assumed from the get-go. Martin just cracked under the pressure of the season, didn't fit in, and wanted out. But unlike other guys in the past, he decided to drag everyone else down with him on his way out due to his overly-sensitive and litigious parents. What a media-driven farce this whole ordeal has been...

Interesting.

Well, I always assumed the coaches knew, to a degree. The private texts they might not have known about.

What I don't get, is that the O line is actually playing better, now.

No! My politically correct vagina has been offended, somebody must pay. No i dont care that Lil Weirdo has been proved to be a liar. My agenda demands satisfaction.

The sad thing is, if this report is true(knowing La Canfora it might not be) is that all the media, late night talk shows and people in general ripped the Dolphins for something that may have never really happened. The damage of the reputation is already done. Thanks Martin.

I think this is what we expected the logical conclusion from the start. Doesn't change the fact that the Dolphins are best served cutting both of them.

Big soft marshmallow !!! Mommy took over this thing looking for BIG notch in her belt with lawsuits coming to the NFL and Dolphin's

Martin steamrolled anyone in his way. How many lives did this guy change?

Plus, the media will never learn to let all the information come out before deciding...unless it fits their agenda.

It's the responsibility of the public, however, to evaluate information reasonably and rationally. We aren't "sheep" who have to take the media's spin and run with it.

Frankly, I'm surprised. I was expecting Martin's camp to be sitting on something of real substance. But if there is nothing there, it is what it is and we move on.
It is interesting that LaCanfora has received this information. I would have expected zipper mouth from a top legal professional like Wells. But someone is talking to leak this to Jason.
