This is really a "his word against mine" scenario, so I'm not sure what will come of this. Yea Incognito has a history of this, but you can't let that factor in to this. I just hope that nothing comes of this. They are investigating and if they find no evidence there is a chance that a punishment comes down on Yannick for defemation of character. And yea, I understand that is ironic because "Incognito? What character?" but it is possible.

I'm pretty sure that there are no defamation of character clauses in the NFL/NFLPA contract.

Well that is good to know.
He probably made remarks about his name and that came off a certain way because of who was saying it. In the CBS interview before the game Yan hinted that people making fun of his name bothered him. As for no one else hearing what exactly was said, that shouldn't be surprising. They should all be zoned in on their man and their jobs. Calais did say that they were saying things as if it they were "coached" to try to get under their skin, presumably because of some of the Jags chippy games this year.

Why would you put that information out there in the first place? The fastest way to keep getting picked on is to let people know it bothers you, then it becomes a game to them.

You make Yannick sound like he's a child. He can handle his business and has done so his first two years in the league..

Did you see the interview? I didn't say he gave the impression that it made him wilt and it obviously didn't work this game. I was trying to give some context to what kind of ethnic trash talk it might have been since he did not give specifics.
