boyst Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Article ...I'm told by these executives that Incognito actually performed well in his workouts. An executive on one of the teams said Incognito was "excellent" in his tryout. He was in shape, personable and, in some cases, better than some of the linemen on the teams trying him out.Then, something strange happened. As Glazer wrote, "Incognito visited the Chiefs and the Bucs this season and in both cases, each team got skittish after numerous calls from people inside the NFL were made and no deals were ever consummated." Hmmm … "numerous calls from people inside the NFL." So is Incognito being blackballed? Sorry, since Incognito has said some horribly racist things, he might not like the word "blackball." So put another way: Is there collusion against Incognito to keep him out of football? It will never be proved, but I don't think there's any question teams are being encouraged not to sign him. Certainly no one in the league office wants Incognito back in football. Individual teams are different. They only care about themselves. If I am Buffalo I sign him and make the NFL do something about it. They already hate it and Roger Goodell, you can suck a big one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Bleacher Report has come a long way and I don't think they should still be blocked any longer. I usually get the most up to date information from there before its anywhere else.

The bills don't have a boss. Besides, what is the nflgoing to do? Tell the refs to make terrible calls against us to ensure that we lose close games? That's already happening!

I think we should sign hm, seriously. This offensive line needs his attitude, its a bunch of pansies out there. Our OL is getting pushed around too much and we need Guard help. Is he an angel, no, but the situation in Mia was also not as bad as once believed and Martin screwed him over pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 The NFL probably considers Incognito a loose cannon that can bring more embarrassment to the league. Joe B. pretty much said RI was blackballed a week or two ago on WGR but did not give evidence of it. I doubt TP will stand up to the league so soon after joining the club. Also consider the rest of the teams in the NFL. It's not like the Bills are the only team in need of OL help, yet no one is breaking rank here.

I think the owners all know the reward of Incognito is not worth the risk of a PR ****storm, especially after this year. Which sucks for Richie, any other season he would've gotten a shot.

Best Player Available Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Well, besides being an accused A-hole by teammates. I found the fact he physically abused a Ferrari in his driveway during a temper tantrum very telling. Who knows what he could do to a Lambo? Apparently abusing Ferraris Is not included in the CBA.

K-9 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Screw this douche nozzle. I hope he is blacklisted and never plays another down in the league.

vincec Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 If Incognito was good enough to be a starter last season then I don't see how he can't be a contributor at least as a backup to many teams in the league. Obviously, his baggage is what's holding him back and it wouldn't surprise me at all if the league was colluding to help keep him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I bet the same people behind these "Incognito played well in try outs and collusion is keeping him out" leaks are the same people who a fortnight before the report was due to be published leaked that Incognito had "nothing to fear and would be exonerated." That wasn't true and I doubt these rumours are either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he didn't do anything to a dog so who cares, he's only had a list miles long of previous incidences while on teams of him being mentally unstable and having issues causing teams to get rid of him. And who cares if hes a headcase and comes with tons of baggage, he's an improvement over guys that currently play on this team in a season where the same people that want him have written it off saying its not possible to make the playoffs Hopefully the Pegulas have a shred of decency and don't even answer calls from his agent calling to see if they would be interested......

dayman Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 The article says he will act crazy again and create more problems. I doubt he would. He's immature and obnoxious but I get the impression this whole thing, having gotten to this level, would cause him to at least pretend to be civilized for the duration of his career.
