Miami Dolphins left guard Richie Incognito was admitted to a psychiatric care facility in Arizona on Thursday night, per a report by TMZ that was confirmed by NFL.com’s Jeff Darlington.Incognito, portrayed as the primary instigator in the Miami Dolphins bullying scandal, recently took a baseball bat to the front of his Ferrari, valued at $295,000, and told police in Scottsdale, Ariz., that he was the one who did it.“Oh that was just me venting, that was self expression, that’s a piece of art,” he told FoxPhoenix.com about the incident. “The happiest day of my life was when I got that car and now the second happiest day will be when I donate it to charity.”Incognito hasn’t played in the NFL since early November, when he was suspended by the Dolphins indefinitely a few days after left tackle Jonathan Martin left the team, apparently distraught by Incognito’s hostility and aggression in several forms — in person, via text, and otherwise. The recently released Wells report paints a picture of Incognito as a man clearly out of control, Martin as a man unable to deal with someone of Incognito’s ilk, and the Dolphins as an organization clearly incapable of dealing with (or even knowing about) such dysfunction.This wouldn’t be the first time Incognito, who was selected by the St. Louis Rams in the third round of the 2005 NFL draft, has sought professional help. In a story written by Darlington in 2012, references are made to the “never-ending string of therapists who asked him how he was feeling, if he was sleeping enough or whether he was still smoking weed, and he would answer in whatever way would make those sessions end easiest.”---It’s not known whether Incognito’s most recent attempt to get help is something that will actually change him. But a corresponding course of action would seem to be that whatever team next takes him on should actually provide some sort of structure for an individual who has dealt with antisocial (and at times sociopathic) behavior for more than a decade. http://nfl.si.com/2014/02/28/richie-incognito-help-arizona/?xid=si_nfl
I feel for all Dolphin fans though, dark time. This team is competing to become the new Browns.

I don't. I'm enjoying.I feel bad for the Browns but I'm loving the dark ages for the Dolphins right now.
Get better Richie. We are all praying for you.

Yeah, I feel bad too. I don't think they'll ever reach that low though. All 3 Florida teams have been singing the blues for a while now. I've got respect for Dolphins fans, a lot of good people. You'd think being in state, I'd hate em, but they are good people. Hell, Beatles was a Dolphins fan once upon a time.
idk 3sk. You ever seen the camera pan the crowd at Sun Life? Swear half the men and three quarters of the women are related to Carl from ATHF. They certainly dress similarly.

They will bounce back. Ireland was shown the door. I doubt Ritchie Whack Job is back with the team. Martin may be out too. They have a few nice players. Tannehill looked decent last season. He was ok in 2012, and a little better in 2013. If he continues to improve, they will be ok. I am not a big Philbin [sp?] fan. But I guess they could do worse for a HC.
Dude beat up his FERRARI?!Freaking apeshiz psycho. I absolutely pity this guy. He has issues. He has been a moron bully for most of his existence. It is thoroughly entrenched in his genetics to be a whack job. Oh well. Genetics makes him mean, and steroids made him a raging nutcase.
