Contrast Shamarko's treatment as a Steeler with Jonathan Martin's as a Dolphin

[Stern]

you have such venom for the guy without knowing the whole story. Let me ask you this. Just from what you know right now, who is the better person, Martin or Incognito? Don't spin it. Simple answer. If you were on a jury and could just believe either one of them about anything, who would you believe? I ask because I noticed you didn't respond at all to the other problems richie has had this year. You reacted differently with orangepa, a person you don't see every day at work. Your handling would have been much different if you saw each other every day. You didn't seem to have a problem with davis getting a super rich lawyer as I remember it.

I have no venom at all, just giving my opinion. More information comes out daily with this story. If Martin has an "ace" up his sleeve and puts out some solid info I will change my opinion. As of today though he has yet to and has failed to back up any claim. And in fact has yet to prove anything. Not sure what Martin is upset about. Martin played pranks on teammates, yet he didn't like pranks played on him. Martin sent racist/vulgar texts but didn't like receiving vulgar/racist texts? What's Martin's beef?

P.S...it doesn't matter who is a "better guy" that has nothing to do with it. I'm not sure Bernie Fine was a good guy but he got a raw deal in the end. Incognito isn't a good guy but I am not sure he did anything to warrant being suspended over this. Hell the Dolphins players have backed Incognito and not Martin, the people closest to the situation...that says something!

not the people that in charge of the dolphins. Martin isn't suspended. My feeling is that there is one more giant size twist in thi story.

I am starting to feel bad for incognito. Turns out he got in a fight with a bouncer at club liv. Tape shows incognito throwing the first punch. He must have been really provoked. And then he was accused of harassment against a woman who was working as a volunteer at a golf tournament. Police were called and their were witnesses. The Dolphins apoligized to the woman. A good guy that bad luck seems to chase around.

lol...that incident with the woman sounds pretty bad btw. I will agree, it sounds like Incognito is the real victim here. People seem to really have it in for him!

Martin was dishing it out.

Fascinating.

I don't want to hear anymore about how Martin should have "been a man" and "dealt with it on his own" by "punching the bully in the mouth" since it sure sounds to me like maybe that was happening, and it sounds like that wasn't enough.

Shamarko strikes me as a BAMF'er, alpha-male type guy, so I wouldn't expect him to have any trouble fitting in in an NFL locker room.
