This racist fuck's NFL career is OVER- and he won't be getting any ESPN gigs either [View all]

Practical jokes and pranks are part of the culture in NFL locker rooms, but the Dolphins appear to be dealing with something a lot more serious after suspending guard Richie Incognito for conduct detrimental to the team for his alleged treatment of teammate Jonathan Martin.

It was being portrayed as a case of Incognito bullying Martin, a second-year offensive tackle, but it went to a different level Monday when Fox Sports reported that the Dolphins and the NFL Player Association were informed that Incognito sent Martin, who is biracial, text messages and left him voicemails that are threatening and racially charged.

According to CBS Sports, Incognito referred to Martin as a “half n-----,” made references to harming Martin’s family and defecating in Martin’s mouth.

Incognito, 30, was born in Englewood, N.J., and went to high school in Arizona. He was drafted by the Rams in 2005, joined the Bills for one season in 2009 and has been with the Dolphins since 2010. When he was with the Rams, he was known as one of the dirtiest players in the league. He was voted this year by teammates to be a member of the Dolphins player council.

On Monday, former Colts coach Tony Dungy said on “The Dan Patrick Show” that Incognito was on the team’s “DNDC” list ahead of the 2005 NFL draft, which means, “do not draft because of character.” During Sunday night’s Colts-Texans game on NBC, former Chiefs GM and Patriots player-personnel VP Scott Pioli said of Incognito, “I didn’t want him coming out (of college), and I don’t want him now.”
