Yesterday, the Miami Dolphins and Dolphins player Richie Incognito both denied a report by ESPN’s Adam Schefter that former Dolphins tackle Jonathan Martin left the team as a consequence of harassment and bullying. Incognito accused Schefter of slander and tweeted that he wanted his name cleared by all sports outlets.
Incognito since has been suspended indefinitely, and ESPN isn’t backing away from the story. Voice mails and text messages allegedly left on Martin’s phone are emerging as the possible reason for Incognito’s suspension and were the talk of sports media tonight.
Riveting, honest television right now on ESPN. Cris Carter, Keyshawn Johnson and Bill Polian discussing Richie Incognito situation.

@68INCOGNITO Will wish he'd stayed incognito by the time ESPN and the rest are done with him

Fascinating watching Keyshawn, Cris Carter and TJ DESTROY Richie Incognito on ESPN is worth my monthly cable bill.

In the mean time, Incognito maintains his innocence — maybe?
