So you think the NFLPA is going to allow one of its members to be used to clear the teams name ? I think not.....
I just found an interesting thread from an Arizona message board. Looks like there were similar accounts to what my co-worker told me... and this thread was from 2007! I won't post the details of the thread bc I don't want to repeat my earlier mistake, but here is the link. Post #10 and #12 in particular. http://www.arizonasportsfans.com/vb/f4/notebook-hyped-up-incognito-commits-4-penalties-99653.html
Well the only good news to this is that Ireland will definately take some heat for it. Thanks Martin for getting our 2nd best lineman on an already struggling oline suspended.
SOOOOOOOO am I the only one who has a hard time believing guys like pouncey, big jake or even our defensive captains would put up with cogs alleged actions?
I decided to do a quick google search and ended up finding some posts on an Arizona message board that corroborate my co-worker's account of Incognito in HS. These threads range from 2007, 2009, to 2013. Most of you have been super cool, but for those that doubted or questioned my motives, I must say I feel vindicated. For some reason the links won't go thru, but all you have to do is google 'richie incognito high school arizonasportsfan' and the threads will come up. Here are some copy-pasted posts below the corresponding bolded thread titles: Notebook: 'Hyped up' Incognito commits 4 penalties (2007) Post #10: 'I saw this guy almost throw someone into a bonfire when I was at a party in High School. He is a nutcase!' Post #12: 'I use to run in the same crowd as Incognito in high school at Mountain Ridge. He's no stranger to steroids and coke and was always known as a TOTAL nut case constantly picking fights and beat his girlfriend up pretty bad our junior year. He's really a liability to any squad he's on you never know when he'll snap' OT: Rams release Richie Incognito (2009) Post #5: 'He's from the Valley. But man that guy has been a major jackass. I'll kind of miss having him cost the rams with some boneheaded penalties when we play them. Definitely seems like he's more trouble than he is worth.' Post #6: 'My niece went to HS with him, according to her he was an *** then too.' Post #7: 'Lol he used to pick on this guy i work with. Bring him in...you know. For depth.' Post #8: 'I never do this (The whole name game thing), but just for the record, I went to High school with him (Mountain Ridge 2001).. I have to say, personally from my point of view, he was always cool with me, but that said, outside, he is just not a good person..Coming from somone who knew him, He is THE LAST PERSON we need on this team, he needs to take time out and and regroup (not that he will... he was kicked off Nebraska AND Oregon St football teams before..) There is a good side to Richie, unfortunantly not too manny people see it.. but on the football field he is the dirtyiest player in the NFL, and off it he has had his share of troubles...All that said, there is a reason he has had about a MILLION chances, he is a very talented player, but just not all there upstairs.. and not a fit for the kind of game Whiz wants to run... can see an owner like Al Davis givning him his next shot though...I wish nothing but the best for him and his family... I hope he gets help though soon...' Post #22: 'When Incognito committed to Nebraska, he dad started showing up on Sun Devil message boards to talk trash about ASU. I guess they didn't recruit him very hard and, allegedly, ASU coaches trashed him to other schools. In this rare occasion, I'm thinking maybe ASU coaches (I believe it was Snyder's staff) had some real insight.' OT: Antonio Smith: Loses it (2013) Post #12: 'I played in high school with Richie Incognito at Mtn Ridge. That guy is a POS, total bum. You won't find anyone that knew him in HS that has anything positive to say about him. If you hang out at the bars in Peoria (83rd & Bell) in the offseason, you'll see his drank a** at moon saloon picking fights with 175lb guys and groping girls to the point where security escorts them out. Class act Rich. #youhaditcoming'
