To be honest, both Incognito and Martin are at faults.  Incognito is a thug with a rap sheet.  He went too far.  There's no defending what he did. Martin, on the other hand, is to blame for letting it get out of hand.  Sure, Martin can be the quiet and nice guy that doesn't fit into the norm of the NFL locker room.  But he also has to present himself appropriately, meaning don't let anyone walk all over him.  He didn't have to change who he is even if it means he didn't fit in with the group, but at the same time, don't show any weakness.   The moment that a quiet person show any weakness is when bully like Incognito will take advantage of it.

 

To me, this is the strangest situation I've ever see in my life.  I do think Incognito will have a better chance of playing for another team, but I can't imagine any locker room will accept Martin again, regardless of the outcome of this situation.
