The only meaningful section was the very end: Incognito called a reporter a nerd, and mocked Armando for his weight and stature, before attempting to insult Armando in garbled semi-Spanish while walking away.
Multiply exponentially and you get an idea what Martin must have faced, along with others in the locker room, and most of all that woman on the golf course.
Armando departs the article in the most ironic fashion imaginable. He's already had enough of crude Incognito in a brief burst to the point he feels compelled to tell Incognito to stop. The only reason it carries any weight is Incognito realizes Armando has the printed power to tackle and define him daily, potentially impacting his career.
Jonathan Martin undoubtedly asked Incognito to stop countless times. Guess a multiplier in his case, compared to what Armando briefly faced. Are we going with 1000x? I'd suggest that's far too low.
Quite amusing that Armando intended to make Martin look bad but in his closing paragraphs he unintentionally defined Incognito and the Dolphin locker room far beyond any rambling damage to Martin. And interesting that Armando waited until this point to reveal the anecdote regarding Incognito and how he treats the local media. Remember Incognito putting his arm around the television reporter shortly after the Martin story broke and Incognito was in hiding? That's the phony warm impression Incognito wants. Armando could have detailed the "nerd" aspect in the early going, making Incognito look bad, but I sensed he knew it would have turned Dolphin fans against him, the same loud members of the 47% petrified crowd who invent societal decay on a daily basis, their manhood steadily stripped away. That type is no different than the pathetic bar stool caliber sports fans, the ones who overreact to the latest item on the screen. In fact, there is massive overlap.
NBC undoubtedly arranged the timetable for this interview, the same way any rival network would have. Maximum exposure. People who don't pay attention to football all year feel a need to get involved during Super Bowl week. They can spend the remainder of the offseason content that they bonded with the rest of the family.
