Ross finally broke his silence on Wednesday in the form of a statement released by the Dolphins. The statement mostly revolves around Roger Goodell's appointment of lawyer Ted Wells to lead an independent investigation into the Martin and Incognito situation. "I want to thank Commissioner Goodell for moving quickly to appoint Ted Wells as special counsel on this matter," Ross said. "He has an impeccable reputation and we look forward to fully cooperating with the review. We take this situation seriously. As the owner, I am committed to creating a professional environment for all of the members of the Dolphins family. Once the review is completed and I have all of the facts, we will respond accordingly." Source: CBS Sports SteveRobWhatever's Take: All the findings from the NFL investigation will be made public according to Lord Goodell. The Dolphins will sit tight for now and wait until the NFL is done before doing anything else.
And now a lot of people in the Dolphin organisation pray to whatever god they believe in that their names are not mentioned in the next few weeks.If it turns out the coaches or anyone else in Dolphin land knew about the racial abuse and did nothing, Goodell will fry their butt.This will be like "bounty gate",harsh punishments for any transgressors to send a message to the rest of the league.
With what has been reported since Tuesday, I really don't know what to say about this topic anymore. Did Incognito go too far in trying to toughin up Martin like the coaches supposedly told him to? Yeah BUT if teammates kept picking on Martin, there comes a time where you got to grow a set of balls, be a man and stand up for yourself. If you're being bullied and don't do anything about it except cry about it, you're going to be a very easy target for anybody.
