NFL Player Accused of Threatening Teammate
BURNETT: Our fourth story OUTFRONT, bullying could cost an NFL player his $13 million job. You heard me right. So tonight the Miami Dolphins are deciding the future of their guard Richie Incognito who's already been suspended after reports that he taunted teammate Jonathan Martin with threatening and racially charged messages and voicemails. But the punishment may not add up, at least according to one of Incognito's former teammates Ricky Williams. Here's what he told Jake Tapper today.</s>RICKY WILLIAMS, FORMER MIAMI DOLPHINS RUNNING BACK: There's certain traditions, like when rookies come in, especially if they're high draft pick, that, you know, they'll take their position group or the offense or the defense out to dinner and foot the bill. That's more of a rite of passage, and I wouldn't consider that hazing. The NFL isn't for everyone. And there are certain people -- and I was one of the people, you know, I had these ideas and expectations about what the NFL would be. And then once I got there, I saw that it -- it wasn't what I thought.</s>BURNETT: Now John Zarrella is OUTFRONT with a special report. And, John, what did the messages say because when you hear this, someone could be fired $13 million job because of threatening voicemails to an NFL player? What could possibly have been in those voicemails and text messages?</s>JOHN ZARRELLA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, this is what was in that, Erin. According to ESPN and NFL.com, this is the text of the voice messages left for Jonathan Martin. I'm quoting here. "Hey, what's up, you half blank piece of blank. I saw you on Twitter. You have been training 10 weeks. I'll blank in your blank mouth. I'm going to slap your real mother across the face. Blank you. You're still a rookie. I'll kill you." Now this is all coming out a week after Jonathan Martin suddenly left Dolphins' camp last Monday and has been gone ever since -- Erin.</s>BURNETT: Now, John, I mean, you know, I hear that. It's almost impossible to imagine. Then you wonder, is this some sort of the way they all interact? I mean, it's hard to understand it. It would be unprecedented for an NFL player to actually get fired cut for bullying. So are the Dolphins actually going to do it?</s>ZARRELLA: Well, right now Incognito is on the reserve suspended list. And at this news conference today, Joe Philbin, the head coach, said he wouldn't really address the futures of either of the players. But Philbin did say he would not tolerate anything like this going on in the workplace.</s>JOE PHILBIN, MIAMI DOLPHINS HEAD COACH: If the review shows that this is not a safe atmosphere, I will take whatever measures are necessary to ensure that it is.</s>ZARRELLA: Now I talked to several players after that press conference in the Dolphins' locker room. And all of them said to me, look, we feel like this locker room has a very good environment. And in fact, one of the players went so far as to say he loved Richie Incognito. And he said that was Richie just being Richie probably and would like Richie to be back on the team. So right now the Dolphins preparing for a game a week from Sunday -- Monday, against Tampa Bay. That's their focus, they say, and most of them, though, saying they would welcome both players back to the team.</s>BURNETT: All right. Thanks very much, John Zarrella. And I also just want to give everybody a very brief update on the condition of the Houston head coach, Gary Kubiak. A statement from a Texan says he's going to be in the hospital for at least the next day. The 52-year-old fell to his knees, as you can see there. Watch that happen just as they were going off during the game. I believe it was during half-time. Obviously an emergency situation there. The team did not elaborate what might be wrong with him. But he had dizziness and light -- wad light-headed, did not, though, suffer a heart attack. Well, OUTFRONT next, did the police miss stopping the alleged Los Angeles shooter by just minutes? And do his writings indicate a growing domestic terror threat but is much bigger? And then the Toronto mayor accused of smoking crack which some say was caught on tape. Says he's sorry? Sort of? And later "Iron Man" is real about to suit up for the United States Military. We have an amazing report.
