Welcome, sir, to the EIB Network.  Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hey, mega dittos, Rush, how are you?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I\u2019m great.  Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Good.  Hey, I know this is slightly off topic, but being born and raised in Pittsburgh and watching Ben get harassed over the last course of this year and before in the last, what do you think of Jonathan Martin, Mike Tomlin picking up the left tackle from the Miami Dolphins and bringing him up to Pittsburgh?  What\u2019s your take on that?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You\u2019re not serious?<\/p>\n<p><BR\/>CALLER:  Absolutely.  I think the Steelers with their culture &#8212;<\/line><BR\/><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=10961\"><img id=\"eZObject_83456\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/MartinDolphins.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You\u2019re calling here to stir things up.  You really want my thoughts on whether or not the Steelers ought to try to get the guy who accused Incognito of bullying him?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yes.  Because he was the second best on their line and he\u2019s got, just like the coaches there said, they hate to see him go \u2019cause he had such a high ceiling.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah, one of the things I mentioned when the program began today, there has been a 180 on this.  Everybody now, even the brothers, the brother analysts on ESPN have come out in favor of Incognito, done a 180.  And this guy, Jonathan Martin, is being trashed all over the place now as somebody who walked out on the team; somebody who can\u2019t take it; somebody who is a sissy. Well, not a sissy, but the words coming out, Ryan Tannehill, the quarterback, &#8220;I thought they were best friends. I don\u2019t understand this.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_83447\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Richie-Incognito_large.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>And then there\u2019s this guy, I\u2019ve got a story here that ran at MMQB.si.com, written by Lydon Murtha, a former member of the offensive line the Dolphins from 2009 to 2012.  And it prints out to four or five pages and he starts out by saying: &#8220;I don\u00c2\u2019t have a dog in this fight. I want that to be very clear. I played offensive tackle for the Miami Dolphins from 2009 until the 2012.&#8221; But this is a biggest attaboy for Richie Incognito.  He\u2019s the greatest guy ever.<\/p>\n<p>He said the only thing about this he doesn\u2019t like is if Incognito used the N-word, that\u2019s over top, but none of the rest of it is. That Incognito is one of the team leaders. They were trying to toughen this guy up.  It\u2019s common for offensive linemen to pay for dinner when they\u2019re rookies.  They all do it.  He talks about how he was charged $9,600. It\u2019s just the way it is.  But there are a lot of people turning on this guy as a snitch.<\/p>\n<p>Now, when I say the brothers on ESPN, not all the media has.  There are some in the media who you can tell come right out of Conflict Resolution 101, who want lawyers in there and who want the NFL to have new regulations and a national monitor to come in and monitor the way people are treated, make sure their feelings aren\u2019t hurt in the locker rooms, workplace violence and intimidation, there\u2019s no room for that. In the media in this country, you can see, if you know how to read it, you can actually see the cultural rot taking place.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I was kind of in a hurry \u2019cause time was diminishing, but, look, the Steelers or no other team could get Jonathan Martin.  He\u2019s a technically still a Dolphin.  He\u2019s still under contract with \u2019em.  He walked out.  He\u2019s in LA.  He apparently, before he went home to his family in LA, checked into a hospital for emotional distress.  Something was going on in there.  But it\u2019s amazing, just in the last 24 hours, there has been a huge turn, shift. <\/p>\n<p>Richie Incognito, two days ago, who was just Satan in all this, is now the good guy, best teammate, team leader, tough guy, way to get the team to play together.  This is the guy that picks you up when you\u2019re down in the dumps.  This is the guy that gets the most out of you in practice and during the games.  This is the guy that sets the pace, he\u2019s a great leader. All this stuff is being said about Incognito now.  It\u2019s a marked difference. <\/p>\n<p>I want to spend just a little time here on this story at MMQB.si.com.  This is Peter King\u2019s website.  He used to be at Sports Illustrated and they gave him, as part of his new deal, his own website and gave him some reporters.  He\u2019s doing a lot of in-depth stuff about the game, the business of the game, and he\u2019s got a piece here today by this Lydon Murtha, who played for the Dolphins from 2009 to 2012.  He got out of the game \u2019cause of injuries. <\/p>\n<p>In this piece, he is adamant that there\u2019s no way Richie Incognito ever bullied Jonathan Martin, and this guy\u2019s a guy that was there.  And you got the quarterback, Ryan Tannehill, &#8220;I thought they were best friends. This is all news to me.  I never saw any of this bullying.&#8221;  But, remember, there are texts that they have and the N-word was used, and Mr. Murtha here says, &#8220;Now, that\u2019s over the top, that\u2019s not good. But the rest of this stuff, I don\u2019t have a problem with it.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><BR\/>He starts out  by saying, &#8220;I don\u2019t have a dog in this fight.&#8221;  I wonder if Michael Vick does.  Does anyone know what he thinks about this?  Have you heard?  You haven\u2019t?  He says, &#8220;I want to be very clear about that.  I don\u2019t have a dog in this fight.  I played offensive tackle for the Miami Dolphins from 2009 until the 2012 preseason, when I was released after tearing ligaments in my foot and injuring my back, both requiring surgery. I have since retired, and I\u00c2\u2019m happily working in the auto industry and living outside of Miami. I went to college at Nebraska with Richie Incognito, and I consider myself friends with him and Jonathan Martin, but I don\u00c2\u2019t speak with them regularly and I\u00c2\u2019m not taking sides. I\u00c2\u2019m only interested in the truth, which is what I\u00c2\u2019m going to share.&#8221;<\/line><img id=\"eZObject_83458\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/NFLRushMiamiDolphins.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>He goes on to talk about how there\u2019s just no way that Incognito ever bullied Jonathan Martin.  &#8220;From the beginning, when he was drafted in April 2012, Martin did not seem to want to be one of the group. He came off as standoffish and shy to the rest of the offensive linemen. He couldn\u00c2\u2019t look anyone in the eye, which was puzzling for a football player at this level on a team full of grown-ass men. We all asked the same question: Why won\u00c2\u2019t he be open with us? What\u00c2\u2019s with the wall being put up? I never really figured it out. He did something I\u00c2\u2019d never seen before by balking at the idea of paying for a rookie dinner, which is a meal for a position group paid for by rookies. (For example, I paid $9,600 for one my rookie year.) I don\u00c2\u2019t know if Martin ever ended up paying for one, as I was cut before seeing the outcome.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He goes on, and it\u2019s a piece that is in total defense, except for the N-word comment in the texts.  And then Tannehill, about that, all these players are coming out saying, &#8220;Richie Incognito is not a racist. I don\u2019t know what that is, but he\u2019s not a racist. He\u2019s an honorary brother, in fact.&#8221;  Did you hear that?  The brothers say that Incognito is an honorary brother. They said there\u2019s a lot to being a brother besides skin color.  It\u2019s the way you carry yourself, it\u2019s where you come from, it\u2019s how you live and all that.  I just find all this fascinating, \u2019cause I read the media on this stuff, and you can tell, folks, which media people come from a full-fledged left-wing kindergarten through college education. <\/p>\n<p>You can just see it the way they react to this, the things they want done about it.  Some central controlling authority must come in and lay down the law, and everyone must be respected and everyone must be loved. There must be total respect and acceptance for people. There can\u2019t be any workplace bullying. There can\u2019t be any making fun of people. There can\u2019t be anything that makes anybody uncomfortable.  We\u2019re talking about football, for crying out loud. <\/p>\n<p>You know, there are just certain things.  I played for one year in high school, that\u2019s not much, but it was enough to know what goes on. I was a sophomore.  You\u2019re a rookie, you\u2019re dirt.  It\u2019s just the way it is.  Talk to a buck private in the military at basic training, for crying out.  It is how people are toughened up.  It\u2019s how you weed out people who can take it and who can\u2019t.  It is a man\u2019s game.  Football is a man\u2019s game.  It is meant to be played outside, in the elements, on grass and there\u2019s nothing gentle about it. <\/p>\n<p>Folks, I was in Houston once on the Rush to Excellence Tour during the 49ers heyday, and the 49ers were in town playing the Houston Oilers.  So I was in the Astrodome, it was a Sunday after a Rush to Excellence performance the night before.  It\u2019s where I met the famous sports agent Leigh Steinberg.  We\u2019re in the press box, he came up and introduced himself to me.  He sat down, we were watching the game, he\u2019s representing &#8212; I don\u2019t know if he had Montana &#8212; no.  But he had Steve Young.  Steve Bartkowski from the Falcons was his first client.  They both went to Berkeley together, University of California Berkeley, and Steinberg, we\u2019re just watching the game and there was an especially brutal hit.  &#8220;These guys are so tough.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><BR\/>I said, &#8220;What do you mean?&#8221; <\/line><BR\/>He said, &#8220;You and I, the average human being, couldn\u2019t take one play out there.  We wouldn\u2019t last one play in the trenches, the offense and defense, we wouldn\u2019t,&#8221; and it\u2019s true.  That\u2019s why getting to the NFL is unique.  It\u2019s why not everybody can do it.  It\u2019s why not everybody\u2019s qualified.  It is a man\u2019s game.  It\u2019s a man\u2019s world.  And it is not common.  Feelings and making sure there isn\u2019t any bullying, my God, the things that are said during the course of the game, you let these wusses take over things and I\u2019m gonna tell you, it\u2019s just gonna be the end of toughness everywhere.  And you need it, a nation needs toughness, you\u2019ve got to be tough. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>Folks, I got hazed as a sophomore in high school, and everybody that\u2019s played the game does.  You get hazed when you join a fraternity.  Girls haze each other in sororities, for crying out loud, humiliate each other.  Now we\u2019ve got this massive effort here on the part of these recently educated people to try to take all of this out of culture, \u2019cause it\u2019s not good, it\u2019s mean, and it hurts people\u2019s feelings, as though there\u2019s someplace in life where everything\u2019s perfect.  Is there somewhere you can go and live your life where nobody\u2019s mean and nobody\u2019s rude and it\u2019s just peace and love and flowers everywhere and marijuana wherever you want it, is that what it is? <\/p>\n<p>My God, I think back sometimes.  When I worked for the Kansas City Royals, I had many jobs.  Group sales, sales of advertising signage in the ballpark and the publications like the program and the scorecard, yearbook, this kind of stuff. I produced the game starting in my second or third year in the scoreboard room. I actually arranged and made sure all the commercials ran between innings, played the music, arranged first pitches, anthem singers, you know, all of that stuff.  And all of this required that I go in the locker room. <\/p>\n<p>I had to go to the locker room every day to get three or four autographed baseballs for clients or whatever. I\u2019d walk in there, and here\u2019s some guy getting ready to play.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Uh, Mr. Wilson, would you sign&#8230;?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Get outta here! You think I got time to sign a damn baseball? To hell with you!&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But I gotta get it signed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_83457\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Royals.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You want to hear one of the biggest tricks that was played on me?  Dick Howser, the late great Dick Howser was the manager.  The Royals had made the playoffs.  They made it every year when I was there except for one, and one of Howser &#8216;s best friends was Burt Reynolds, and my job (which everybody laughed at) was to find the Anthem singer and pregame entertainment and all that during playoffs. <\/p>\n<p>One game the owner\u2019s wife, Mrs. K., wanted some singer to sing the Anthem and said, &#8220;Okay, do that,&#8221; and I had to escort this woman out to microphone at second base. I mean, got 40,000 people and she\u2019s on my arm and I\u2019m walking off with the woman, and the people in the stands are laughing at me.  &#8220;Oh, you got a really big job! Wow, you get to escort Marilyn Maye to second base. Wow, how did you get this job?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>This is life. <\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s not the big one.  Howser is the manager.  We made the playoffs.  A guy in the PR department &#8212; and I didn\u2019t know it at the time &#8212; was playing a trick on me. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You know what\u2019d be great? <\/p>\n<p>I said, &#8220;What?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Burt Reynolds throwing the first pitch!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You know, you\u2019re right.&#8221; Well, I go down and ask Howser.  Howser knows him, so I walked down to Howser\u2019s office, and it was pregame. It\u2019s a game didn\u2019t mean anything. The season was still going on, but we\u2019ve clinched. We know we\u2019re in the playoffs, but it\u2019s still game day. He\u2019s in there in uniform and it\u2019s about 30 minutes before the game.  I said, &#8220;Skip&#8230;&#8221; trying to be one of the guys. &#8220;Skip, you got a minute?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sure, what do you need?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I said, &#8220;You\u2019re good friends with Burt Reynolds, right?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh, yeah, yeah. Burt and I go way back.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m thinking. Here we got playoffs coming up, and I think it\u2019d just be great if you could put me in contact with him. I\u2019d love to get him in here and maybe throw out the first pitch,&#8221; and he went on this tirade. <\/p>\n<p>He said, &#8220;You come down here for that?  I got a game that\u2019s starting in a half hour! You come waltzing in here talking about some silly first pitch in the playoffs that are not even for a week.  What do you think I am?  Do you not realize what I gotta do?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He just went on for 10 minutes, and I\u2019m standing there shrinking in size throughout the whole thing.  I\u2019m thinking, &#8220;Gee,&#8221; and then I found out later it was all a trick. They put me up to it. Howser was in on it. This stuff happens.  But I\u2019m gonna tell you, all those people that I met, they\u2019re some of my best friends today.  I didn\u2019t walk out. I didn\u2019t go up and complain to anybody. I didn\u2019t go crying that the manager had yelled at me. <\/p>\n<p>I just took it, when I figured what had happened.  So that\u2019s why this stuff that we\u2019re all getting worked up over here over, bullying and stuff, in a football clubhouse, there\u2019s equal power.  Now, if the coach is bullying people &#8212; that happens, too, by the way, which is also coming. (interruption) You think I could still sue some of those guys for bullying me?  Oh, let me tell you something.  That story, the Howser, that\u2019s nothing compared to some of the stuff the players did to me. <\/p>\n<p>But what I figured out was it all happened \u2019cause they liked me.  It wasn\u2019t the other way, that I saw that they disrespect me, dislike me.  I\u2019ll tell you, it got so bad at one point that I refused to go down. I went up and I said, &#8220;You know what? Send somebody else down to get those damn baseballs autographed and I\u2019m gonna find another way to the field to do the first pitch \u2019cause I\u2019m not going in there. I\u2019m just not going down there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><BR\/>About two weeks later, a contingent of players came up to my office and said, &#8220;Where have you been?&#8221; They\u2019re in uniform and they\u2019re coming up into my office. &#8220;Where have you been?  Come on back.&#8221; They dragged me back down there and everything was okay.  I wouldn\u2019t trade those five years for anything.  That\u2019s why I say I learned more in those five years, the first five years out of radio than I ever did in the whatever, 10 or 12 in it.<\/line><BR\/>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I promised this, Michael Wilbon, ESPN Pardon the Interruption last night, they\u2019re talking about Richie Incognito and Jonathan Martin, and there\u2019s been a shift here in opinion as to Incognito being a bad guy, now he\u2019s not so much.  Listen to this.<\/p>\n<p>WILBON:  It doesn\u2019t ring true, it is true.  This goes back to slavery. House N and field N, okay? When they were separated and seemingly the people in the house were closer to who? The white man. This is about relationship. This is about how you are perceived. This is about blackness, okay, culturally and spiritually, not about the actual color of your skin. There are people always in all black subcultures who are white who are more accepted as being blacker that black people, who may be, as we say, &#8220;blue black.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Now, what he\u2019s saying here, let me translate.  He\u2019s basically explaining why Incognito\u2019s a brother in the Dolphins locker room. The brothers love him, \u2019cause of the way he carries himself, and he\u2019s not black.  On the other hand, the brothers do not like RGIII.  Are you aware of this?  The brothers do not like RGIII.  He\u2019s too white.  He\u2019s Republican. He\u2019s dating a white girl. They don\u2019t like RGIII.  And we\u2019ve got the sound bite here, this Rob Parker guy back on December 13th of last year explaining that RGIII, he\u2019s not a black guy. He doesn\u2019t do black stuff. He\u2019s not a brother.  And Incognito is.  This is what Wilbon\u2019s explaining and how in the world that happens. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: This is Jim in North Carolina. Welcome, sir, to the EIB Network.
