Big Weirdo

 

Lol pathetic

 

Jonathan Martin threw a fit after a cafeteria prank on Monday. Prank was for everyone to leave table when last guy sits down. Jonathan Martin was last guy. Slammed tray down. Team dismissed him/he left to seek counseling/take a break.

From the other thread.

 

They always said that he was a level headed academic kind of guy. Not 100% sure how true this is. If true, good to see some emotion. Hopefully translates to the field

 

Apparently the "prank" was that when hew as the last guy to sit at the table in the cafeteria everybody else got up (brilliant, original prank by the way fellas, glad to see you're concentrating so hard on important stuff and not the 4 game losing streak)

The whole thing is ridiculous and just yet another typical event in Dolphinsland, where the abnormal is normal.

 

@JeffDarlington:

Some guys just can't take it. Danny Watkins felt pressure and underperformed in Philly, but he never did anything like this.

 

And somebody (looking in your direction Philbin) should have put a stop to it. Complete idiocy on this team from the top on down

 

Soft daddy

 

Not sure what Nate Garner did, but if Clabo is going to start the staff just does not like Garner at all

 

Maybe he just isn't cut out for professional football.

 

You could say he can't..

GARNER ANY ATTENTION?!!?

Have a nice night, guys.

 

Mando now reporting that the teammates got up as a joke because Martin was ill, not in some 80s teen movie prank of getting up because they don't like him.

If that's the case then Martin really overreacted and probably has some deeper issues.

 

He went to Stanford, so I have to assume he is a fairly intelligent individual. Whether he is level headed or not, certainly now comes into question if he overreacted to this prank and was actually asked to leave the facility.

It is one thing to show emotion on the field and this helps your play on the field. It is completely not normal behavior to react to a prank by causing such a commotion that you are sent home when the team has a game tomorrow and now won't even be playing in this game.

I've never felt that Martin was anything but a very mediocre offensive lineman and after this type of behavior, perhaps the organization will realize that they need to look for his replacement, once this season is over.

 

"emotional breakdown yesterday, currently away from the team with his family" Darlington on NFL network. Awesome

 

This season just gets weirder and weirder.

Uh... this is embarrassing... Cut Jonathan Martin.

 

You win the internet. I honestly spit coffee on my keyboard reading this.

 

Andrew Abramson now reporting that he has confirmed that Martin is in a "facility" receiving treatment. that's a mental institution my friends.

I would certainly say he's "doubtful" for tomorrow night.

 

Guys, if he's having some kind of mental/emotional issue, let's have a little class and wish him better health.

 

I think everyone is wishing him well and hoping he gets better.

That being said, this incident affects the team, which is what we are all here to discuss.

 

walking out on his teammates mid season because of a joke.dude must be real fu&$ed up in the head..

Oh well, I would have already cut Clabo but it looks as though his fat *** is gonna collect another check

 

I don't think there's a lack of class in the reaction to this news. People are stunned and focusing on the impact to the team because, really, what else can be said in response?

 

did ireland do any background on this guy?

 

Cut a guy having some mental issues...yep, that's definitely the way to go.

Hopefully he can get some help with whatever the issue is.

 

Lost in this, and some of the joking that even I have done. I wish him well. I have more than my share of experience dealing with the mentally ill and it's a long, tough road. I sincerely hope he just "lost it a little" and it is not a symptom of something much more serious.

Get healthy, get well and then worry about football.

 

Your HC ought to know if there is a particular guy being picked on and put a stop to it, though that isn't what this seems to be about if Mando's report is correct.

If there is hazing incidents at colleges and High Schools the coach is responsible. He's in charge. You set up an environment where that kind of stuff is either ok or its not.

 

just standing up and walking away isn't very hazing like. You're reaching with this stuff.

 

It is pouring and the roof has sprung a leak:

Adam Beasley reporting high level source says team is in "shambles" and that there is serious dissension in lokcer room.

 

This is what happens when one unit is CLEARLY responsible for so much misfortune. If we had even average tackles we'd likely be 5-2.

 

blame ireland.

what he did was the equivalent of buying a race car and putting snow tires on it.

 

I already thought tomorrow night will be a blowout but reading this makes me want to put my house on Cincinnati's under.

 

Exact opposite of what Darlington said which is the locker room was tight.

 

Things like this can destroy a team, they can also catipulte them to play better. Once again lets see how this team responds to adversity. PS not so well this season

 

I think we lose by 40 tomorrow night and the whole rotten edifice comes crashing down.

Ireland's gone by December 1st.
