Richie Incognito goes on tirade attacking ESPN, Jonathan Martin’s parents after stunning Bullygate reveal
NY Post
Former Dolphins offensive lineman Richie Incognito went on a tweet spree Sunday after former Miami teammate Jonathan Martin, whom he was accused of bullying in a scandal that led to Incognito being suspended by the NFL, told ESPN that he never felt bullied.
“He couldn’t cut it in the NFL so he quit and his mom blamed me. Legacy media pushed this narrative long and far,” Incognito tweeted. “Too bad it was all a lie! They lied to protect his money. He quit… the team had every right to claw back that money. His mom started the bullying narrative with @espn @AdamSchefter so that @MiamiDolphins wouldn’t go after his signing bonus!”
Incognito received an indefinite suspension to close out the 2013 season and did not play in 2014 after being accused of harassing Martin, who was a second-round draft pick in 2012.
A 144-page report by NFL investigator Ted Wells on Bullygate said that Martin has received a “pattern of harassment” which included racial slurs and sexual texts aimed at family members by Incognito, along with then-Dolphins and fellow offensive linemen John Jerry and Mike Pouncey.
Martin, though, told ESPN last March of the Wells report that “it’s my greatest regret of my life to this day is participating in that clown show.”
His mother became involved in the situation and while Martin said “she wasn’t intentionally trying to hurt me,” he now feels his mother had a different “read on the situation” than he did.
