JONATHAN MARTIN CONFRONTS OLD NEMESIS AT NEW JOB

Jonathan Martin has been through a lot in his young life. He initially saw his draft stock drop enough to knock him down as a first-round prospect all the way to the second round. He then was highly scrutinized for his poor play as Ryan Tannehill’s blind-side protector, mostly being responsible for his quarterback being sacked a league-leading number of times. And just when his 2013 season didn’t look like it would get any worse, the Miami players pulled a prank on him, prompting him to slam down his lunch tray and drive himself to a local mental facility.

Stories about Martin being bullied by teammate Richie Incognito surfaced after that. There was an initial media backlash against Incognito – the type of typical, knee-jerk stupid stuff you often hear from on-air personalities – but the Dolphin players ultimately came out in support of Incognito. They criticized Martin for leaving his team “high and dry.”

Martin hasn’t played football since. In fact, no one has heard from him. That’s because he went back to school to earn his psychology degree in an attempt to understand why he snapped like he did in his second season with the Dolphins.

Martin swiftly graduated and coincidentally earned a job at the very same mental health facility he drove to on that fateful day in October 2013.

His first day on the job went well. He made some progress with his first couple of patients and even befriended a cute blonde co-worker. Maybe I’ll ask her out on a date, he confidently thought to himself as he went down to the cafeteria for lunch. He spied the room and saw an open spot at a table near the wall. He had a sudden sensation of fear that everyone sitting at that table would get up if he tried to join them, but it was brief. He quickly remembered that all of that was behind him in another life.

Martin zoned out, but was startled when he felt someone push him from behind. He turned around, and saw the man he feared most. He sported the same dumb grin, and he certainly hadn’t lost any weight. Martin focused on the multiple tattoos on the large man’s arm, too scared to look at him in the eyes.

“Well, well, well, look who it is,” Incognito said, smirking menacingly. “Looks like they’ll hire anyone here nowadays. Of course, I was here first, so looks like you’re the rook again.”

Martin felt his knees weaken and his stomach anxiously churn as he was once again confronted with his arch-nemesis.

“L- l- look, R-r-r-ichie,” Martin stuttered. “I’ve moved on. I have a psychology degree. And I’m enjoying my first day on the job. And I met this cute blonde girl named Ali here that I want to ask out on…”

“What!?” Incognito shouted in disbelief. “You’re gonna go steady with Ali? We used to go steady!”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t…”

“You can’t go steady with Ali because I’m trying to get her back, you half n***** piece of s***,” Incognito sneered, his face a bright shade of red. “That’s it! Meet me in the parking lot after work, and we’ll settle it there! I’m gonna s*** in your f***ing mouth!”

Martin watched Incognito storm off. He bought lunch, but quickly realized that he lost his appetite. In fact, he spent the next half hour squirting diarrhea into the toilet.

The second half of the day went by extremely quickly. Martin didn’t have any success with his patients, and before he knew it, it was 5 o’clock. Martin exited the building and quickly rushed to his car, hoping he’d be able to avoid Incognito. His heart sank, however, when he saw that his tires were slashed.

“Trying to make a quick get-away, were ya?” Incognito snarled, as he approached Martin with four cronies walking behind him. All five men were wearing identical teal-and-orange sleeveless uniforms. A logo of a menacing Dolphin performing a karate chop with the words “Dolphin Kai” written underneath was embroidered on each of these uniforms.

“I’m going to slap your real mother across the face,” Incognito spat. “I’ll kill you.”

Incognito and his four friends pounced on Martin. The four friends brought Martin down to the ground and held each of his limbs. Incognito then took off his pants and positioned his buttocks right above Martin’s mouth.

“I told you that I was gonna s*** in your f***ing mouth!” Incognito said, laughing maniacally.

Incognito’s feces squirted quickly out of his buttocks. The pieces of poop weren’t too bad at first – there was a hint of bitter chocolate – but the aftertaste was too much for Martin to handle. He uncontrollably vomited all over Incognito’s rear end.

“That gives me a great idea!” Incognito shouted, still emptying his bowels all over Martin’s face. “Tomorrow I’m going to vomit into the rook’s mouth! What a great idea!”

Martin felt completely defeated when he heard a voice in the background. Suddenly, Incognito stopped pooping into Martin’s mouth. Martin sat up and saw that Incognito and his cronies were kneeling over in pain. Standing over them was Bob Costas.

“Next time a Dorphin-kai no charrenge Martin-san in parking rot!” Costas shouted in an Asian accent for some strange reason. Incognito and his friends scurried off.

“Thanks mister!” Martin shouted gratefully, extending his hand. Costas grimaced at the sight of it because it was covered in Incognito’s feces.

“My name Bob Costas,” he said. “I herp you defend yourserf against Dorphin-kai.”
