A Few Good Dolphins
Even actor Kevin Pollak (Lt. Weinberg) has weighed in on the situation:

Asked about his feelings on the Dolphins situation, Pollak channeled Lt. Weinberg.
“I’m going to take the same high road that I guess my character does in the movie, which is looking out for the weaker kid,” he said. “I don’t know all the details of the story, so it’s difficult to comment on the specifics, but anytime – in war, the argument for ‘A Few Good Men’ was in order to do battle, you have to be the toughest fighting machine possible. And certainly you could draw a parallel in football. In order to take in the amount of physical damage and often courage needed, you have to do whatever it takes to toughen those soldiers and make them battle-ready.
“Be that as it may, again, making a point of picking on a weaker kid is something that I’ll never be in favor of. And also just the celebrating of the rattling of that flag and the rattling of that false sense of courage, when all you’re really doing is picking on the weaker kid.”
As a result, Joe Philbin lost it at yesterday's press conference:
"Son, we live in a world that has quarterbacks, and those quarterbacks have to be guarded by men with guts. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Martin, and you curse the Dolphins. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Martin’s departure, while tragic, probably wins games. And Incognito’s existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, wins games. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want him on that line, you need him on that line."
