    Lol what, y'all didn't think I was gonna post this?

    At this point I think it's safe to say Ross has solidified his place as the dumbest man owning an NFL team...so at least we're 1st place in something.

    Didn't RI's texts contain overtly racist insults? Maybe he was joking, no one cares now, but yeah, it would seem that he invited the world to call him a gigantic racist if any of it ever got out, which it inevitably did.

    That statement by Ross was a product of ignorance

    This whole scandal involved was nothing.. Those texts back and forth were jokes between the two and nothing more... Martin being a mental midget does not make anyone racist.

    Incognito,Pouncey, and Jerry were going to far tormenting a guy who was different. Schoolyard bully crap. You have the combination of the,"big weirdo,"
    a brilliant kid, but awkward and odd,surrounded by a complete moron in Jerry,a degenerate idiot in Pouncey, and a guy in Incognito who had his own mental and emotional diseases.

    It was a perfect storm that had nothing whatsoever to do with skin pigment levels. Ross is a monumental buffoon, and whenever he speaks BS, he speaks his true nature.

    The only thing that is more stupendously stupid than Ross himself is the fact that Pouncey remains a Dolphin, and is the LEADER of the OL getting an absurd amount of money.

    When you have two of the leading supposed bullies being the same race as the bullee I dont see how race comes into it.

    Because one was white and one was black.

    Seems to be what matters.

    Also Winning seems to make the media forget.... Why is this "bully" incident still being discussed but a murderer who cant stay out of trouble in friggin prison isnt even mentioned.. Oh yah the Logo ;)

    Uh, I don't think you got the whole point of what he said. One of the guys bullying Martin is black.

    Yes, and Martin's was also full of racism in which he started it...the players all had Ritchies back and he should still be our LG.....just imagine.

    Apparently Nate Garner (or was it Andrew Gardener) took a lot of bullying too from Incognito, Turner, etc.

    They're white.

    I guess everything is racist nowadays

    Ofcourse he is well versed on being politically correct, but obviously they are just idiots who practiced the former tradition of hazing. Jon Martin was a target because he likely was the most bothered by it....thats what bullies do.

    Not that it makes it okay, but lets not forget Richie appeared to atleast think he was a friend to Martin and If you read the texts and focus on all the dialogue and not just the asshat comments it is not hard to see.

    But yeah...he was sitting in the locker one day and decided "hey he's biracial!! I'm gonna get him!!!!!!"---ridiculous.

    I don't know what person jokes like that without knowing that if it EVER sees the light of day, it's the end.

    The Dolphins could not possibly have stood behind someone who put in writing what RI did.

    And also, RI is not that good. Jeez, when did RI become a player the Dolphins needed? He was consistently allowing pressure while in Miami.

    The truth is that there were no good guys in that story. RI is an idiot and probably kind of mean. JM didn't have the drive. Pouncey watched it happen and did nothing.

    I'm sorry, sometimes you gotta ask yourself, why assume there's a good side and a bad side?

    It all looks bad to me.

    I am not assuming there is a good side to the story..as far as play on the field this year....PFF rated RI the 3rd best guard in the league...Greg, i am 55 and grew up in the south and lived through this part of American history...it was horrible for us all down here...we are the ones who went through all the changes...not the north and almost everyone grew up poor in the south..white,black,purple,whatever, and we had no union down here to help make better of the situation...not good in sports?..no scholarships..i carried a 3.9 all through high school...no such thing as academic scholarships..know what i and my wife had to do?????2 jobs for years and years...so no joking here brother..we lived it and i am not sure that you could even understand the sacrifice and how hard it was.

    FINALLY!!! Lbsfinest a negative story for you to make a thread about. Whew it's been what, weeks since the last one? You must be so relieved to finally have something in your wheel house to make a thread about. Was the withdrawal bad? I bet it must have been KILLING you.

    That's it folks. The end of the world.

    There are so many STOOPID people in the world they have become their own race. Stoopid is as Stoopid does. Forrest was a prophet.
