and richie cog neat to -- incognito is going to suffer consequences because of the voice mails and the texts. what i think roger will fine out is there's a lot more to this story than meets the eye and what is being read about right now. i think one thing he'll find out for sure is that joe philbin, the head coach, and his staff do not condone harassment of any players on their football team. and the joe philbin is loaded with integrity and character. that will be found out. and they'll also find out that jonathan martin in this whole thing, and how this relationship was between he and richie incognito, also played a role how this went down, and i can't say it enough. i'm shocked where this story has gone. >> wow. interesting, coming from tim ryan and also interesting to see if either of them plays football again. tim ryan, thank you for your time today. >> no problem. >> up next, chris christie, your thoughts on this magazine cover from "time." is this an unflattering headline? the elephant? clay. mom? come in here. come in where? welcome to my mom cave. wow. sit down. you need some c

forget richieing cog neat-o for -- richie incognito. they were with a hard culture to get off the losings so but this is the result of that. harris: football's violent game. and i'm going to have to guess when people see these reports they will see they have a lot of testosterone flowing through them. they have problems on and off the field. they don't see, some critics don't see a problem with any of this. what is being said in the nfl? you have a lot of contacts with players. what are people saying? >> you know, it is that same old adage, nobody wants to see how the sausage is made, you know what i think? the thing about jonathan martin means he came from a hard-nosed program at stanford. he knows, and i'm guessing now, i'm guessing that he knows what is he was in for when he walks into ffl locker room but this degree. jonathan martin is big physical violent guy. he place in the nfl at offensive tackle. this to me, richie incognito aside this sounds like a guy didn't want to play football and almost looking for an out. quite honestly

so this is so much more than a richie incognito issue. it is an issue the way bernie madoff is a madoff issue. as trotter's reporting shows and at the blind comment by nfl personnel director shows. >> it's a biggish issue about us as a society. not just people with the nfl that said martin should man up. i talked to somebody earlier today, he's a big guy, bigger than incognito, should have punched him. and maybe initially when you see the story you think a big football player, why didn't he go after him, but he shouldn't have to because it is a workplace, to your point. he shouldn't have to brawl it out. and this notion of toughening him up, he made it to the nfl. he's pretty tough. >> and anybody who is hes that jonathan martin should have manned up, seriously needs to hit themselves over the head with a polo mallet until they think it through more quickly. we have to redefine our very definition of what we mean by moon manhood and adulthood. the real man in this twisted upsidedown logic is the bully and the person not a man is the perso

[ bleep ]. >> reporter: he prances around the table. at once point he hugs mike pouncey who seems unfazed by the slurs. representatives would not comment. but what you see here is an example of former dolphin channing crowder of what likely happened in the team locker room. >> there's nobody there to tell him what's too far. there's no other alpha males to stop him. and he's running crazy. >> reporter: crowder now a radio talk show host in miami. played with incognito. crowder says strong personalities on those do

now, richie incognito is speaking for himself. saturday at miami dolphins practice, the two players at the center of controversy were absent and both have been silent until now. suspended offensive lineman richie incognito sat down with fox sports, a portion of that interview begins with a question. is he the face of bullying, and what of his use of the "n" word. >> this isn't an issue of bullying. this is an issue of mine and jon's relationship. you can ask anybody in the miami dolphins locker room who had jon martin's back the absolute most. and they'll undoubtedly tell you me. all this stuff coming out -- just -- it speaks to -- it speaks to the culture of our locker room. it speaks to the culture of our brotherhood. the racism, the bad words, you know, that's what i regret most. but that's a product of the environment. that's something that we use all the time. >> reporter: his teammate, jonathan martin, who remains on the team's injury report this weekend listed as ill, is in los angeles with his parents and is not talking. o

today, richie incognito is making a very public appeal. >> the racism. the bad words. you know that's what i regret most. but that's a product of the environment and that's something that we use all the time. >> reporter: in an interview airing today with fox sports' jay glazer, the miami dolphins star speaks candidly about his confrontations with jonathan martin and allegations that he bullied the second-year lineman. >> someone thinks of bully and they think richie incognito. >> this isn't an issue of bullying. this is an issue of my and jon's relationship. >> reporter: the 30-year-old maintains the so-called threats, the intimidation, were nothing more than common locker room bantering. >> this all coming out speaks to -- it speaks to the culture of our locker room, it speaks to the culture or our closeness. it speaks to our brotherhood. >> reporter: dolphins players this week spoke about both of their embattled teammates, some defending incognito. >> we know what kind of guy he is and we want everybody else to know the same thing. >> reporter: but were still perple

richie incognito is the veteran in a leadership position and you can be socially excluded and made to feel harassed and terrible about yourself by other people. you can go through that kind of psychological torment and bullying, no matter how big you are. >> i think the psychological component of this is key, but roman, you've been tweeting what a lot of other players have said, which is look, if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen, i guess? >> i think gien this incident, there's different levels between what's a rookie responsibility, getting the donuts and those things and what richie incognito did to jonathan martin. at those cases, someone should have said hey, lay off this kid. i'm a man first, deal with it in the parking lot. in regular society, in bullying in the bigger picture, you can't deal with it that way, but talking about a football environment because i played football, that's how you deal with it. you deal with the locker room with locker room issues and unfortunately, this story's become so huge that you have ph.d.s and people in education and if this is t

we're going to kind of weather the storm and that's it. >> perfectly named richy incognito about the miami dolphins scandal. the coach was not aware of the alleged bullying of offensive lineman jonathan martin, by reports of the sun central where incognito was asked to toughen up martin. everybody is talking about bullying in the nfl, is that doesn't mean it hasn't happened before. dr. gail is back with me and joining me is curt mannify. let's start with you, many i may and welcome to the show. is this a mountain made out of a mole here? looking at what the quarterback said, looking a week ago, jonathan martin and mr. incognito would have been best pals. >> i won't say it's a mountain made out of a mole hill. the problem is we're in a society that wants to rush to a decision to everything. we want to hear an answer as soon as we hear a problem and put out there when it began. the more teammates that come out -- today is the first day the player haves been back in full. the starting center said it and a starting wide receiver said he was outraged by all of this because not only were t

doesn't he look like richie incognito? >> yes. and the guy behind him is his brother. >> does he do that stuff, too? >> rob thinks maybe -- doug thinks rob needs to get it a little bit under control. when you're drinking, do it at home. not out in public. the toronto folks are embarrassed. >> really? why don't they do a recall. >> they want him to walk away. they can't throw him out of office under ontario law. >> they don't have a recall process. >> no. he as to be convicted or if he doesn't show up for work for a prolonged period of time. >> drunken stupor. >> like marion barry. he got time. >> this story caught my eye. in pittsburgh there is a guy who thought he was a dog. >> something happened. when i saw this movie with this dad who turned into a big sheep dog and he has to fight to get back to be human, i don't know. something happened. i became really connected with that the idea. >> do you know what i think? that's the mayor of toronto. he just put on a suit. >> this guy, margary matthews i 48. why are we doing this story?

he claims that richie incognito harassed him. what is likely to happen now, richie incognito also saying he wants some compensation for his suspension. so, first, let's talk about jonathan martin, what should happen, you know? and what kinds of next moves should the nfl be taking? >> well, you know, first of all, i'd hate to see the lawyer bill for a seven-hour meeting with a lawyer. that seems like an awful long time to be sitting down and chatting. jonathan has expressed that he wants to play again. though he didn't say specifically with the miami dolphins. and certainly, since we haven't seen very much public support from the miami dolphins locker room, i can't say that he i blame him. will he play again? probably. he's 6'4" there's an upside. oh, by the way, he was the protector of one of the best quarterbacks in the ncaa at the time, andrew luck. so there's talent there to be had. i just don't think he's going to be back in the miami dolphins locker room. >> yeah, well, the ability is there. no question. but i guess there ha

here is reaction. >> richie incognito is a racist, bigoted, a bully. >> he has been nothing but fun- loving to me. he has been hard working. he would stand up for anyone on the team. >> we will just say incognito has been suspended indefinitely by the dolphins. martin doesn't want to play for the organization. family members have said he feels like the weight of the world is off his shoulders. following reaction throughout the day former players have criticized incognito and some dolphins say hey, that's life in the nfl. >>> gary kubiak collapsed on the side line and was taken to the hospital. throughout the day the houston franchise has been putting out the word he is okay. there was word he had a mini stroke but not confirmed. >>> 49ers say mar i io is ready to play. $16 million a year playing for l. davis. now it doesn't work here. >>> in san francisco something upbeat, carry carrie washington is expecting their first child. >>> the best player in the league, sacked, didn't return. the word is separated shoulder. josh led the bears to a 27-20 win. without aaron rogers, what is lef

richie incognito's locker. his clothes hanging neatly. quite a contrast to the mess and, how else do you put it, caused by the incognito-jonathan martin bullying scandal. thursday joe philbin was back in front of the microphones. he wanted to talk tampa bay and nothing else. >> any comments that we make at this time would be a disservice of the process that's about to take place. >> when the media -- >> when asked how does a locker room stay together with all of this distraction? people outside of the football world don't get it. >> that sucks for them. >> okay, we get that. players who would talk were still trying to make sense of it all. >> it gets to a point where you can't differentiate between what is fact and opinions. >> reporter: what's been most puzzling is the relationship between the two that's beginning to emerge. can we believe that they were best friend as some have said. martin, a stanford grad who talked of attending harvard law. and incognito, perhaps the polar opposite. a man who at least one time apparently thought litt

if you know richie incognito, he's an alpha male. his last day in the locker room that i was in there, richie spent about four minutes making fun of me in front of my peers. that's just the nature of richie and the nature of an nfl locker room. he is the jokester, the guy who's going to you if you do something wrong or wear the wrong color or i carried an umbrella that had a flower on it because it was my wife's umbrella, that's richie incognito. strangely enough, people who don't know him are going to sort of take what his statement that he made in the transcripts of the voice mail probably out of context. you know, we don't know the full extent of it. use of the n word is never excusable. however, you know, it's clear from things he has used it before in front of african-americans. some of them accepted it, some of them didn't. some of them felt it was part of the locker room culture. maybe it could get away with it, but richie was a very alpha male kind of individual. >> okay. something i want to talk about reports that you may ha

dave, you talked to several past dolphin player that know richie incognito. he has the most ironic name in news right now. they said that the current stories don't seem to make sense. they don't understand what's going on. so are they covering for a friend? have journalists exaggerated this? what's your sense of what's going on here? >> my sense is this is a culture that the nfl has created and there was nothing out of the ordinary that went on with jonathan martin that goes on in the nfl culture. the bigger question and i think it will end up in a courtroom is this even legal and i think ultimately it will head to a courtroom and we'll see if there's a settlement or it actually goes to court. >> christine, incognito when this broke sent a tweet to an espn reporter saying if you or any agents you sound off for have a problem with me, you know where to find me which vaguely sounded like a threat, right? how tough is it to report on this stuff when you know athletes won't respond to it all that well? >> we have to as journalist say what we know and when we don'

incognito to toughen up jonathan martin. incognito was suspended without pay by the dolphins last sunday. since then his only comment about the bullying allegations was to miami television station wsvn. >> i'm just trying to weather the storm right now. this will pass. >> reporter: martin, his teammate, left the dolphins last sunday because he felt threatened. n.f.l. investigators are reviewing taunts and threats including racial slurs that incognito left martin in texts and voice mails. they were offensive linemen who played side by side to protect quarterback ryan tannehill. did you have any sense that anything was wrong in their relationship? >> no. no. none at all. i think if you had asked john martin a week before who his best friend on the team was he would have said richie incognito. >> reporter: but tannehill said he could not explain what went wrong in that relationship and, scott, ted wells, that new special counsel, and the n.f.l. both say there is no timetable to this investigation. >> pelley: mark strassmann at

we speak to sports contributor, terrence, richie incognito spoke to fox sports. he says he considers martin his friend. >> yes. >> this is the part i just can't comprehend. he says that using the "n" word and talking that way wasn't in a negative way. let's listen. >> it is a word that i've heard john use a lot. not saying it's right for what i did in the voice mail. but there is a lot of call for words thrown around in the locker room that we don't use in everyday life. the fact of the matter remains, though, that that voice mail was left on a private voice mail for my friend and it was a joke. >> so i mean, you get the gist of what he is saying here is that, you know, use of the "n" word is part of the conversation and part of the casual way they speak to each other in the locker room in the nfl. i find that so impossible to believe from the way i was brought up. you cover all this. what did you think? >> i have covered the national football league for over 35 years. and we are in a totally different place. okay? >> what is it? >> let's put this in perspective.

richie incognito lo obligaba a pagar cenas y fiestas y hasta habrÍa amenazado con matar a un compaÑero. abrieron investigaciones sobre este caso. >> richie incognito, jugador de los miami dolphins, un veterano con nueve aÑos de experiencia de 319 libras de peso, con antecedentes de conducta violenta fue suspendido indefinidamente del equipo y estÁ bajo investigaciÓn de los dolphins y nfl por amenazar de muerte a su compaÑero de equipo martin. segÚn los reportes conocido hasta ahora, incognito habrÍa dejado un mensaje amenazante en abril pasado cuya transcripciÓn dice: "hola, cÓmo estÁs? insulto racional. voy a pegarte en tu boca, te voy a matar". lo que muchos se preguntan es hasta quÉ punto incognito estarÍa incurriendo en un delito. >> si ha sido una amenaza repetida, podrÍa llegar a considerarse un delito. >> ademÁs le habÍa exigido a martin que le diera $ 15.000 para pagar una fiesta para algunos jugadores a la que Él no estaba invitado, conducta que podrÍa ser catalogada como criminal. >> yo creo que sÍ existe extorsiÓn. >> incognito tiene un historial de sancion

now you've got some of these players defending richie incognito. what's your take on this? >> my take on it is that none of this behavior would fly at msnbc or in any other workplace. but i wonder if there's a special set of rules and circumstances that kick in when it's an nfl locker room. and tamron, i'm thinking about a legal case that was litigated within the last couple of years in california where there was some really baudy language used in it the writers room in hollywood. the finding was the different set of circumstances applies. there's a creative process in the locker room where there's going to be what would otherwise be regarded as sexual harassment. there's going to be foul language. this is part and parcel what they do to come up with scripts. i'm not sure the nfl is ready for typical workplace rules to apply to the league generally. if they're all closing ranks around this guy, it would seem that there would need to be a seat change to bring about more decorum. >> we've seen people close ranks, police investigations, the list goes on and on. it doesn't make

i think with the richie incognito, jonathan martin thing it went a bit too far. unlike wall street because there isn't much regulation in locker rooms in the nfl, and a lot of sports, a lot of stuff stays behind closed doors. if there's a problem, it gets handled indoors. that doesn't happen so much in corporate america. >> it did on wall street, this was behind closed doors in strip clubs for the '80s and '90s or whatever, but tiki, do you think this is the moment for football when people start to say this is a multi -- this is a very big business. labor laws on how to treat people. >> the brand of football means something, a $10 billion plus business. individual brands of players matter. football will end at some point. how you are perceived on the field and locker room ultimately determines what you do with the rest of your life. i don't think the money will ever leave the nfl, it is such a big part of our culture, but it is important to send the right image and the nfl focuses on that relentlessly. >> i am pretty sure in the nfl no one sent a text like the on

richie incognito was in that category for us. >> reporter: controversy follows incognito. last year on a miami radio show he talked about getting then rookie quarterback ryan tannehill to buy him and pouncey jet skis. >> this is how it works. you're going to buy us a gift because we protect his butt. >> reporter: but here is the irony. if either incognito or martin ever play again, crowder believes it's martin who will be shunned by teammates. >> he goes to nfl team the word "snitch" will be thrown around regularly. you made a fellow frat member, as we are a frat, you made him lose his job. >> reporter: now joe philbin has press availability this afternoon and the dolphins locker room is expected to be open to the media as well, but it's not clear whether philbin or any of the dolphins will talk about these latest reports that the coaches had told incognito to toughen up martin. >> it leaves you wondering if the nfl could discipline the coaches, too, for this. >> reporter: oh i don't think there's any question that that could be the case but you have to remember, as we've
