NEW YORK -- Jonathan Martin spent nearly seven hours going into "great detail" with the NFL counsel investigating his claims of his harassment in the Miami Dolphins locker room. What came up in their talks, he isnt saying for now. He would say this: He still wants to play in the NFL. Martin -- in town because the league is trying to gather information about the bullying he says he was subjected to by teammate Richie Incognito -- arrived at the Manhattan office building of special investigator Ted Wells on Friday morning, and didnt emerge until shortly after sunset. Mobbed by media, he stood in the camera lights and read a statement. "Although I went into great detail with Mr. Ted Wells and his team, I do not intend to discuss this matter publicly at this time," Martin said. "This is the right way to handle the situation. "Beyond that, I look forward to working through the process and resuming my career in the National Football League." After that, he and attorney David Cornwell went back into the building, later leaving via a side exit. The crowd outside the building drew attention from office workers and tourists all day. Some even stopped to watch and wait, and most seemed familiar with Martins story. Even Miami-based hip-hop artist Rick Ross came by. His record label is located in the building across the street. Incognito has acknowledged leaving a voicemail for Martin in April in which he used a racial slur, threatened to kill his teammate and threatened to slap Martins mother. Incognito has said he regrets the racist and profane language, but said it stemmed from a culture of locker-room "brotherhood," not bullying. Incognito is white and Martin is black. Teammates, both black and white, have said Incognito is not a racist, and theyve been more supportive of the veteran guard than they have of Martin. Incognito has been suspended by the Dolphins. He filed a grievance Thursday against the team over his suspension, and has said his conduct was part of the normal locker-room environment. Dolphins owner Stephen Ross also plans to meet with Martin, who said Friday that he will indeed get together with the Dolphins front office. On Monday, Ross said two committees would examine the locker-room culture. Players have been virtually unanimous in saying it doesnt need to be changed. At Dolphins practice Friday, long snapper John Denney, the teams players union representative, was asked about problems. "I cant say I saw it firsthand because Im not an offensive lineman, and Im not in their offensive line room. I can tell you from my perspective, and having been in this locker room, I never saw it coming," he said. "I can say that. It was a surprise to me. There did not seem to be an increase in behavioural problems. Its been the same here my entire career." Coach Joe Philbin also talked to reporters but kept his focus on football. "I believe in the guys we have in the locker room," he said. "I believed in them before this all took place, before all this scrutiny came upon us. "And I believe in them today." While Martin was in New York, and long before he spoke, Incognitos grievance was a talking point in the locker room some 1,300 miles away. "Hes got to do what hes got to do. Im never going to tell somebody how to run their life," wide receiver Mike Wallace said. "You got to get your money, man. I dont really have too much to say about it." Martin alleges he was harassed daily by teammates, including Incognito, and the case has raised questions about job security for Philbin, his assistants and general manager Jeff Ireland. Philbin won a vote of confidence this week from Ross, but that could change depending on the findings of Wells, who was brought into the situation last week. Wells is expected in Miami next week to talk with Dolphins players, coaches and staff. Wells will determine the role of Philbin, his staff and Miami management in the case, and his report will be made public. One issue is whether anyone on the coaching staff ordered Incognito to "toughen up" Martin, a second-year tackle from Stanford who became a starter as a rookie but played poorly at times. Martin left the team two weeks ago and has been with family in California undergoing counselling for emotional issues. Centre Mike Pouncey missed practice Friday because of an illness and is listed as questionable for Sundays game against San Diego, raising the possibility the Dolphins will be without a third starting offensive lineman. The case inspired a national debate about workplace bullying and attracted a daily throng of 100 media members or more at the Dolphins complex. In Manhattan, both CNN and Fox News Channel were on hand outside the meeting. The Dolphins (4-5) have slumped after a 3-0 start, and on Sunday they play at home for the first time since the scandal broke. "All we have to do," defensive end Cameron Wake said, "is concentrate on playing the game on Sunday." Cheap Adidas Carolina Hurricanes Jerseys .

Before we break down the reasons why, its important to clear up potential confusion and dispel the possibility of misinterpretation. This is not about Bautistas crucial sixth-inning ejection from Sundays loss to Tampa Bay, a defeat which involved Bautistas replacement in right field, Nolan Reimold, misplaying a routine flyball in the 10th, leading to the Rays go-ahead run, and then striking out in the afternoons final at-bat. This is not about Bautistas on-field production or his daily preparation and work ethic. These areas, if not impossible, are difficult to criticize. This, certainly, is not about Bautistas leadership. Its not about whether Bautista is a leader or is not a leader and its not about whether or not leadership matters in baseball. Re-read the previous paragraph; Bautista produces, prepares and works hard. What this is about is the direction in which the franchise is headed and whether keeping its superstar player, who will be 34 years old on October 19, is in the clubs best interest. With Sundays incident serving as the framework for the conversation, Bautista held court before Mondays tilt with the Red Sox and had this exchange with Richard Griffin of the Toronto Star. Question: "Do you and Alex (Anthopoulos) have an understanding and a special relationship that doesnt need constant conversation to understand each other? Bautista: "I think so." Question: "And its all about winning?" Bautista:"To who? To me, yes. To him, youd have to ask him that." Question: "Has your perception of his dedication to winning changed in the last year?" Bautista: "No. I think he wants to win. I think hes fully committed to winning." Question: "Has your perception of the organizations dedication to winning changed?" Bautista: "I dont have enough information to answer that question." There remains a contingent of players in the clubhouse who are lesss than enthused with the organizations relatively quiet approach to the non-waiver trade deadline.dddddddddddd The lack of activity didnt jibe with the message delivered by team president Paul Beeston at the annual end of spring training banquet, when players were told if they were a winning, contending outfit in July, the payroll budget would accommodate player additions. Bautista and Casey Janssen were two veterans who, on July 31 in Houston, publicly voiced their displeasure. Janssen likely is gone. Bautista is still under contract for two more seasons. Hes guaranteed $14-million next year. Theres a club option, at the same dollar figure, for 2016. What that means is Bautista is an attractive chip on the market. His .284/.399/.500 line is elite – that .399 on-base percentage continues to be the best mark in baseball among qualified hitters. Why does it make sense to deal Bautista? The Blue Jays starting rotation is turning a youthful corner. Soon it will be made up of Marcus Stroman, Aaron Sanchez, Drew Hutchison and Daniel Norris. The positional roster is built to win now. You could argue the positional roster is beyond its ability to win, past its prime. Centrefielder Dalton Pompey is the only positional prospect of consequence playing higher than Single-A. Hes currently at Triple-A Buffalo. Its time for the Jays to supplement the young pitchers with a more youthful positional corps. The way to do that is to take the best asset, Bautista, and use his prodigious productivity and cheap contract to secure a haul. Not that the players interest is considered in these matters, but Bautista is deserving of an opportunity to play playoff baseball before Father Time catches up to him. With the rotation projected to be so young next year, the opportunity isnt going to come here. To be clear, Anthopoulos shouldnt trade Bautista for the sake of trading Bautista. If the right deal comes along, Anthopoulos absolutely should pull the trigger. This team, this core, has had two shots at making it work. It hasnt worked. This offseason, the time will come to be open-minded about trading the Blue Jays best player.
