A Miami Dolphins fan, not a players fan.
Yes in fact it's damning.
Further damning is why Martin didn't give the Dolphins the voicemails and txts to the Dolphins immediately so there could have been some effort to resolve the situation. A man simply would have played off the voicemail or confronted Cog face to face. It appears Martin didn't do either.

I have a suspicion that these guys might just have been from too different backgrounds and on vastly different wavelengths.
I've hung around people who I thought were jerks who I overlooked because I thought they were trying to be friendly in their own awkward and kind of unthinking way. I know I've been guilty about that myself, were people misunderstood my attempts to be friendly.
Maybe what we've had here all along was Incognito trying to take Martin under his wing in the way he'd want it done to him and Martin being completely oblivious to that because he'd never been exposed to that style of ... I guess you'd call it "mentoring" or "fellowship". Cogs being overbearing and over the top, Martin being more quiet and introverted, and both completely alien to the other's world, neither ever got the other and both handled it poorly in the end.
Cogs reputation worked against him. Martin might have been taking his own struggles to adjust to the NFL and the outside criticism to heart, and he's not a guy that lets it out.
The more that comes out, the more I think these guys were just incapable of understanding each other, and there might not have been any ill-will intended on either side, but neither was socially capable of dealing with the problem when it got to be a problem.

Looks like Martin sat down first and I cant see Cogs sitting with Sturgis.
Actually, in the photo, he is sitting on Sturgis.
No wonder why Sturgis missed a few lately..
It's tragically disrespectful to use these cases to prove your point. We're talking about two guys who played a game we're fans of. You're digging too deep.
I'm gonna give you a :up: for "creativity" and the coveted "Turkish Taffee Award" for the biggest stretch.
Again, look at Martin's eye beaming out and his genuine smile. The unfortunate young lady was not smiling, she had a neutral expression; Phil Hartman's forced expression is a few degrees away from being a grimace and can be depicted as anything but glowing. No comparison despite how you might have really searched to find some matrimonial fatalities on google image. I appreciate the effort but sorry it doesn't make your case
Now how about this one: it's Martin and 4 of his Stanford teammates. Again, one picture is worth a thousand words. What does his posturing suggest to you about his ability to acculturate and general comfort with his peers. Hell, bracket the genuine expression he has with RI vs his college "buds." No comparison
Finally, I don't know if this is Richie's GF in NO, but again check out this photo and then compare it to the one with his Stanford chums.
I stand by my original assertion that one pic is worth a thousand words and as far as "actions speak louder than words" remember that Richie's offense were words - terrible, uncalled for and reprehensible words, but words nonetheless vs Martin's actions in the 6 months since those offensive VMs. Sorry, but I ain't buying what's looking more and more like a fairytale (pardon the pun) woven by some blood-thirsty parasitic ambulance chasers.
It's not disrespectful at all. My point was that you can't judge what is going on in someone's head from a photograph, and the point was clearly made.

I thank you for the award, Vaark! I will proudly display it in my trophy case. :-)
Phil Hartman is one of my all-time favorite comedians and I was sickened when he was murdered. The only things that made me more angry were that his wife never got to face justice and their children were suddenly orphans.
I guess we will have to agree to disagree on that photo. Phil is smiling, although not a "I just won the lottery!" smile, it is a smile. His wife is smiling, although with a closed mouth. I don't know why she did this. Some women are self-conscious about their teeth and choose to smile with their mouths closed. I just don't see anything there that would make me think they had violent fights.
As for your picture of Martin with his teammates, I could interpret it two different ways. The first of which is the way you interpreted it - the three teammates appear very close and happy and Martin seems distant and not happy. The problem is that we don't know what the story of this picture is. Was Martin simply not ready for the picture? Was he distracted by something behind the camera? These are things that cannot be answered and unless you have personally interviewed all four of them, you don't know the answer to either.
I firmly stand by my statement that photographs are merely illusions.
