Richie Incognito apologizes to ‘brother’ Jonathan Martin
Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Richie Incognito returned to Twitter on Monday afternoon and began the early phases of repairing his image. After telling people to “stop the hate” and accusing media outlets of being the real bullies last week, Incognito decided to give a general apology. Several hours later, he apologized to Jonathan Martin.
I would like to send Jonathan my apologies as well. Until someone tells me different you are still my brother. No hard feelings :)

It’s kind of hard to believe Incognito thinks of Martin as a brother after reading the texts he sent to Mike Pouncey. Incognito then sent out a few more bizarre tweets and apologized to Dolphins owner Stephen Ross.
There are no winners in the courts. Just families left to deal with their decisions and pick up the pieces. You can't free something

While Incognito really hasn’t said anything incriminating, quitting Twitter probably would have been a solid idea. One second he’s telling his followers that the truth is going to “bury” Martin and the next second he’s apologizing. Tweeting isn’t doing the 31-year-old veteran’s career any favors.
