What's going on with Jonathan Martin

Good thing I have a sick day to burn tomorrow. Wasn't planning on over-indulging tonight. But now it looks like I'm going to have to get a lot of beer to watch this train wreck toight.

And you know this becaue??????????????????
I see you never played the game before and been involved in a team sport. Football is a and the o-line in particular is a brotherhood. When your down I'm there to help. We laugh together we cry together. For your info, this is normal behavior. You can't walk around with a mean mug 24/7. The stress you go thru on the field and in meetings will drive you NUTS. This was a joke to lighten the air a little. For all we know Matin prob. just came from a meeting got got his *SS handed to him and the guys was looking for a way to chear the guy up. That prank was prob going to followed by a "RELAX MAN - JUST PLAY- YOU GOT THIS" but it went WAY LEFT!!!!!
martin clearly needed help. Lets NOT talk about the prank as if that is what made the guy snap. the lockerroom and cafateria is the players area to relax/play games/ bond!!!!

I know this because I pay attention, I travel to multiple NFL cities weekly listen to local radio, news, etc.... I cannot honestly recall a incident like this during the season, let alone in the middle of a 4 game skid. Daily it becomes more and more obvious Joe Philbin is in over his head and not the man to lead this organization to greatness.

No you DON"T know this becasue it is not news. Like I said normal behavior.
 
Just saw this madness..what the hell. And no, normally teams that have winning ways don't have this kind of controversy associated with them. Where is our leadership?? Is there a concerted effort by someone close to the team that is trying to undermine the coaches/FO by leaking this crap to the media?? Certainly looks that way...and if so there is a HUGE problem in that locker room. That said, sometimes with controversy teams will come together and take it out on their opponents. Hopefully that happens tonight, but I'll believe it when I see it. With all this BS going on...Pouncey, now Martin...a blowout loss tonight which is looking more and more probable than not could keep the losing streak going on for a while. We're lucky we've got the Bucs coming up...maybe the only other team right now more screwed up than ours.
 
It just seems to me that in the mist of a 4 game skid adults should be focused on how to stop the bleeding instead of cracking on the one guy who everybody could see was on the edge during his lunch break.
If a Doctor had just lost his last 4 patients during surgery I don't see him making things better by doing stand up during his free time. Its not that extreme but you get the picture.

Praying that the Guy works through it and comes out on top.
 
No more changing of the guard during the season. But if the coach/GM and nutjob Sherman can't turn it around and win 9 games. Dump them all. You can't keep doing this partial turnover thing. And we need to bring in a good young coach that guys can respect, and isn't married to doing things 'his way or the highway'. Former player anyone? For all the talk of shoelaces and Bill Belichick and Philbin....I can tell you one thing that is a common theme up here in Boston. The Patriots have always had high quality football-first guys in the locker room. And when they haven't(think Bruschi/Seymour/Harrison/Troy Brown, etc) Seems to me Philbin wanted some of those guys gone. Long/Bush/Bess/Fasano. I think a good head coach, who wants things done a certain way, can work with those type of guys. And if they walk in and say "give Ocho a chance"....you can say what should be said. "Assaulting a woman is unacceptable in this locker room, thanks for the input, its great to see you stick up for a teammate, but there's no leeway here for that" I have and still root for Philbin, but he needs to see that he needs guys that will step up, and he can't get rid of the ones that will because he doesn't want to be questioned.
 
This is an incredibly troubling story -- speaking to a level of dysfunctionality and systemic ineptitude that makes the US Congress resemble a well-lubed machine!

Suddenly, the state of this franchise is looking beyond laughable and becoming certifiably pathetic -- certainly well past the bottom-of-the-barrel thresholds I would have believed possible about 5 weeks ago…

Man. When the toilet flushes ------- it goes down fast!
