NFL lineman wants access to dead Father's body to cut off head, threatens to shoot staff.

Gets 2 game suspension. Colin Kaepernick still can't get a job in the NFL.

"In August Richie Incognito walked into the funeral home in charge of burying his father and told those working that he needed access to his dead father’s body so he could cut off his head."

"Incognito told the workers that if he didn’t get access to his father’s dead body that he was going to shoot the workers. The funeral home workers called the police and according to the police report, guns were found in Incognito’s truck."

" On Friday the NFL, the same league that is actively working to white ball former quarterback Colin Kaepernick whose only crime has been protesting for black lives, handed down their sentence for Incognito’s lawless and disturbing behavior."

"Two games. That’s it."

"That’s all that threatening to shoot up a funeral home and the sick request of wanting to saw off your dead father’s head carries. Meanwhile protesting Kaepernick still doesn’t have a job for the outlandish crime of protesting black death during white America’s beloved national anthem."

Two game suspension is it?

How about arresting him and charging him with mayhem against a corpse? Or something like that.

Richie Incognito is the dirtiest player I know of. He makes Ndamukong Suh and Vontaze Burfict (who love cheap shots like Trump loves money) look like choir boys.

There are some that might use a severed head. I think this guy might just be psychotic, either naturally or from the use of drugs.

If you leave it attached to the body, then you have to lug the whole body around, which is really inconvenient.

threw a fit at a gymn as well.

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/police-report-richie-incognito-wanted-to-cut-off-his-dead-fathers-head-at-funeral-home/

There was an incident at a gym earlier this year, when Incognito appeared to believe he was a member of the National Security Agency and started throwing weights and other large items at another patron.


Can you for one minute imagine going to work next to this guy? Getting assigned to a motel room or sleeping on the plane next to him?

It's the Simuliidae family: the black fly. Skeeters are merely annoying and itch. Black flies slice flesh and cause bloody infections. BEWARE!!!

When he was with the Dolphins, he was accused of bullying. And then, there's this:

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue says Buffalo Bills guard Richie Incognito used “weak racist slurs” during their playoff game on Sunday.

Ngakoue voiced his complaint on Twitter, calling out Incognito by his No64 jersey.

Ngakoue wrote: “Great win today! And 64, you goin have to come harder than some weak racist slurs. I’m proud of my African heritage, as are 70% of the other Black players in this league. #Iaintjonathanmartin!”

in the NFL, or whatever the f--k the number is now.

And this is AFTER being "retired" for an entire season AND the incident in question.

He is way, way over the hill, AND a total nut-job, but... at least he didn't say that cops kill black people too often...

<<...Richie Incognito, the offensive lineman notorious for a bullying scandal that included racial slurs and who has now become a force in the Bills clubhouse—insists that Trump’s winning message has resonated with NFL players like him.

“I think that he can help this nation get back to a world superpower,” Incognito told B/R Mag. “Where I think he could help is putting us first again and having that—it’s my mentality, too—having that tough attitude where you put America first and everyone’s thinking we’re the greatest nation in the world. Don’t mess with America. That toughness is where I identify with him.”>>
