The Twitters suggested to me that BABIP and the defense failed Mr. Beeler last night.

Seems like it. Didn’t get to watch, fortunately. Been dealing with lots of work/baby issues lately.

I found that whole column to be exactly what’s laughably absurd about the NFL. At the end they talked to Martin’s former coach, who said he wasn’t surprised Martin had a rough time because he went straight from a private prep school to an ivy league college, and those guys take a lot of shit. I know if I had an ivy league brain I’m going to be real hard-pressed to take any kind of hazing from some roided up moron that wouldn’t be able to hack junior college on his academic merits calling me a pussy day after day. I’m gonna pack up my shit and go become a VC or something.
it’s sort of a forced example, but take Siragusa and Rolle’s comments and apply them to a domestic violence situation. That “keep it in the house” philosphy can lead to some really dangerous and incredibly unhealthy situations.
TL;DR: Tony Siragusa doing Tony Siragusa things.

I’m a little confused as to how it could be Renteria. Al made it *very* clear that he prefers Dave Martinez. Do we not remember that Dave Martinez played with the Cubs for a short while? Do we not recognize what a special connection that is?
It’s like they aren’t even trying to win. Sorry Al, I’m right there with you.
Theo…

@ sitrick:
It starts with hazing. It’s one of the dumbest things that’s socially accepted, imo. I’ve never understood the concept that demeaning someone endears them to a group. I had a few fraternities invite me to rush week my first few semesters in college. My response to their spiels to join was always that I would refuse to put up with any hazing. I’m sure it has to do with my authority problem.
Allowing someone to haze you is an acknowledgement of power and authority. That acknowledgement further cements your submission, which is why these guys felt pressure to continually pay for dinners and trips into their second seasons.
From what little I know about this story, it seems like Martin was willing to subject himself to an amount of hazing much less than the other guys on the team. Couple that with the fact that he’s probably smarter than 98 percent of his teammates, and it’s easy to see why the traditional simpletons hated him.
The domestic abuse analogy is interesting because the underlying motivation is similar to the hazing in this case. The MIA vets likely continued to push their boundaries because there was no consequence.
Or they’re just dicks. I don’t know…

@ Omar Little:
I didn’t even bother with fraternities for the same reason. Just have no patience for that kind of shit.
I’m sure guys like Incognito go harder on guys like Martin because of the whole “Oh, you think you’re fucking smarter than me?” dynamic. Not many other situations a guy like that can have that sort of power and influence over someone like Martin.
There’s probably some really fascinating and valuable psychology research to be done on active NFL players about power dynamics and intimidation if the league would ever allow it.
