Video After The Jump

 

Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Richie Incognito is widely recognized as being one of the dirtiest players in the NFL. His reign of bad behavior is usually reserved for opponents, but he now stands accused of bullying his own teammate, Jonathan Martin.

 

12350436495?profile=original

Martin, a second-year offensive lineman out of Stanford, left the Dolphins recently and checked himself into a South Florida hospital for emotional distress.

 

Incognito has been suspended by the Dolphins for his role in pushing Martin over the edge by using threats, racial epithets and intimidation.

 

"Hey, what’s up, you half n*gger piece of sh*t. I saw you on Twitter, you been training 10 weeks. Want to sh*t in your f*cking mouth. I’m going to slap your f*cking mouth. Going to slap your real mother across the face. F*ck you, you’re still a rookie. I’ll kill you," read one text from Incognito to Martin.

Here's the full transcript from the interview via Fox.

Incognito: You can ask anybody in the Miami Dolphins locker room who had Jon Martin’s back the absolute most. And they will undoubtedly tell you, me.

 

Incognito: Jon never showed signs that football was getting to him, um, the locker room was getting to him.

 

Glazer: You’re saying you don’t know what led to this. Your teammates are saying, 'We don’t know.' His side has clearly said, 'We do know.' OK, and there’s bullying involved. There was a voice message left. I’m going to read it to you. You did leave this voice message?

 

Incognito: Yes, I did leave this voice message.

 

Glazer: And it’s, 'Hey, what’s up, you half n*gger piece of sh*t. I saw you on Twitter, you been training 10 weeks. Want to blank in your blank mouth. I’m going to slap your blank mouth. Going to slap your real mother across the face. (Laughter) You’re still a rookie. I’ll kill you.' You hear that, going back to that now, do you look at that and say, 'I left that for Jonathan Martin?'

 

Incognito: When I see that voicemail, when I see those words come up across the screen, I’m embarrassed by it. I’m embarrassed by my actions. But what I want people to know is, the way Jonathan and the rest of the offensive line and how our teammates, how we communicate, it’s vulgar. It’s, it’s not right. When the words are put in the context, I understand why a lot of eyebrows get raised, but people don’t know how Jon and I communicate to one another.

 

Glazer: But there’s one thing of saying that, another thing with a white man using the N-word. How do you tell America, how do you expect anybody in America to believe you’re not a racist?

 

Incognito: I'm not a racist. And to judge me by that one word is wrong. In no way, shape or form is it ever acceptable for me to use that word, even if it’s friend to friend on a voicemail. I regret that.

 

Glazer: How much in today’s locker room is it thrown around by African Americans and white players?

 

Incognito: It’s thrown around a lot. It’s a word that I’ve heard Jon use a lot. Not saying it’s right for when I did it in the voicemail, but there’s a lot of colorful words thrown around the locker room that we don’t use in everyday life. The fact of the matter remains, though, that that voicemail was left on a private voicemail for my friend, and it was a joke.

 

Glazer: Right, wrong, or indifferent, because of all this, you've become the face of bullying in America. Someone thinks of a bully, they think of Richie Incognito.

 

Incognito: This isn't an issue about bullying. This is an issue of mine and Jon's relationship where I've taken stuff too far and I didn't know it was hurting him.

 

Glazer: Did Jonathan Martin overreact? Or was Jonathan hurting that much?

 

Incognito: I can’t sit here and tell you who overreacted, who did what. I can just sit here and be accountable for my actions. And my actions were coming from a place of love. No matter how bad and how vulgar it sounds, that’s how we communicate, that’s how our friendship was, and those are the facts, and that’s what I’m accountable for.

 

Glazer: You're telling me there wasn't any signs going into that?

 

Incognito: As the leader, as his best friend on the team, that's what has me miffed — how I missed this. I never saw it. I never saw it coming.

 

Glazer: There’s so many subplots in this. How much has come out, where you looked at it and said ... 'That’s not even close'?

 

Incognito: I think the whole thing, I’ve been sitting here saying, 'That’s not even close.' It sounds terrible. It sounds, when it’s on the screen, it sounds like I’m a racist pig, it sounds like I’m a meathead. It sounds a lot of things that it’s not. And I want to clear the air just by saying I’m a good person.

 

Glazer: You obviously have had a very checkered history. From way back in college all the way up to recently with last year with the incident at the golf course. You’re sitting up here and saying, 'Hey, I’m a good guy.' It’s difficult for us, as America, to grasp that when all they see are the episodes.

 

Incognito: Right, no question. And if you go by just all the knucklehead stuff I’ve pulled in the past, done in my past, you’re sitting in your home and you’re thinking, 'This guy is a loose cannon, this guy is a terrible person, this guy is a racist.' When that couldn’t be farther from the truth. If I was a racist and I was bullying Jon Martin, when the press went in there and asked them questions, that locker room would have said, 'Listen, we saw this, we saw that.' I’m proud of my guys for having my back and telling the truth. But the fact of the matter is when Jon left the team on Monday, we played a game on Thursday. I spoke with Jon on Friday.

 

Glazer: You spoke with him?

 

Incognito: I texted with him, I text messaged, I spoke with him through text message. And he texted me and said, 'I don’t blame you guys. I blame some stuff in the locker room. I blame the culture. I blame what was going on around me.' And when all this stuff got going and swirling, bullying got attached to it and my name got attached to it. I just texted him as a friend and was like, 'What’s up with this, man?' He said, 'It's not coming from me. I haven’t said anything to anybody.' And I’m like, 'OK.'

 

Glazer: Would these be texts you would be willing to share?

 

Incognito: No question. I'll give you, after this interview, I’ll give you my phone. And we’ll walk through all these texts, and I will show you the framework of a friendship.

 

Glazer: If Jonathan Martin was sitting right here next to you, what would you say to him?

 

Incognito: I think, honestly, I think I’d give him a big hug right now because we’ve been through so much and I’d just be like, 'Dude, what’s going on? Why didn’t you come to me?' If he were to say, 'Listen, you took it way too far. You hurt me.' ... You know, I would just apologize and explain to him exactly what I explained to you, and I’d apologize to his family. They took it as malicious. I never meant it that way.

New York Daily News

 

As many as 10,000 people were feared dead in just one Philippine city as one of the most powerful storms in history devoured a massive swath of the island nation — leaving bodies floating through the streets.

 

Stretching 300 miles wide and packing winds upward of 170 mph, Super Typhoon Haiyan cut a devastating path of horror through a half-dozen islands in the central Philippines.

"This is destruction on a massive scale," said Sebastian Rhodes Stampa, head of the UN Disaster Assessment Coordination Team, after reaching the watery ruins of Tacloban.

 

"The cars are thrown around like tumbleweeds and the streets are strewn with debris."

The giant storm slammed into the province of Leyte, generating monster waves that drowned hundreds of people and consumed roughly 80% of the area, authorities said.

 

The province's capital city of Tacloban bore the brunt of the typhoon, which flattened homes, toppled trees and left adults and children clinging to rooftops for their lives.

"From the shore and moving a kilometer inland, there are no structures standing. It was like a tsunami," said Interior Secretary Manuel Roxas, who had been in Tacloban since before the typhoon struck the city located about 360 miles southeast of Manila. "I don't know how to describe what I saw. It's horrific."

One heartrending image from the region showed a man carrying the drowned body of his 6-year-old daughter.

 

The national government and disaster agency have not confirmed the latest estimate of deaths, a sharp increase from initial projections on Saturday of at least 1,000 killed.

"It was like a tsunami," said airport manager Efren Nagrama, 47, who survived raging floodwaters of 13 feet. "I held on to a pole for an hour as rain, seawater and wind swept through ... Some of my staff survived by clinging to trees."

Tacloban resident Sandy Torotoro, 44, said the storm surge swept away a Jeep where he had sought protection.

"The water was as high as a coconut tree," he said. "I got out of the Jeep and I was swept away by the rampaging water, (along) with logs, trees and our house."

The married father of an 8-year-old girl recounted the nightmarish scene as the city streets turned into raging rivers.

 

"When we were being swept by the water, many people were floating and raising their hands and yelling for help," he said. "But what can we do? We also needed to be helped."

 

Another 200 deaths were reported on the island of Samar, according to Pang. On the island of Busuanga, one official said the majority of the local buildings were eradicated by the storm.

 

The sustained winds of 147 mph — with gusts about 30 mph higher — were "like a 747 flying just above my roof," said Jim Pe, vice mayor of the town of Coron on Basuanga.

 

Filipino Interior Secretary Max Roxas was waiting for additional news as the country tries to recover — but he expects most of it to be bad.

 

12350446276?profile=original

 

"We expect a very high number of fatalities, as well as injured," Roxas conceded. "The devastation is — I don't have words for it. It's really horrific. It's a great human tragedy."

When interviewing Eminem recently, Sway asked Em who the top 5 greatest were. One of the first names he mentioned was, Kool G Rap.

 

We had the pleasure of having the legendary Kool G Rap in the studio with Necro to humbly speak about major influences that have impacted their careers. If you're not familiar with Kool G, he is one of the greatest of our times, with tracks like: Men at Work, Road to Riches, Streets of New York.

 

Sway got in depth with the Kool G about the first time he wrote a rap, what initially inspired him, how he linked with first label, and which rappers in the game he is currently vibing to.

 

"The first time I ever was in the presence of hip-hop I was nine years old.... Instamatic love for it, hip-hop is just that influential," said Cool G when asked about his first interaction with hip-hop.

 

Necro also spoke to us about the ways that G Rap has influenced him and his intellectual craft, and he doesn't let it go unnoticed. Peep The Godfathers (Necro x Kool G Rap), spit their track 'Heart Attack,' live on Sway in the Morning.

 

For the last piece of our interview, catch the '5 Fingers of Death' King Papoose give us a call to speak to Kool G as well as his project, "Hoodie Season," and Kool G salutes Papoose for his Kendrick Lamar "Control" Response.

Marcus Arceneaux carries his wounded niece, Bethany Arceneaux, to a vehicle after she was rescued from a vacant house in Duson, La.

A Duson, Louisiana family made a daring rescue Friday (November 8) and it was all caught on tape

 

29-year old Bethany Arceneaux was kidnapped by her ex-boyfriend, Scott Thomas, outside of a daycare center on Wednesday (November 6). Their 2-year old son was left behind in Bethany's car as Thomas drove away.

Police searched for Thomas, but it was Bethany's family who received a tip leading them to an abandoned house where she.was being held.

Bethany Arceneaux

 

On Friday a half dozen family members stormed the house. They found Bethany, who had been stabbed multiple times by Thomas. An ensuing fight with Thomas left him shot. He later died from his injuries.

 

Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office Special Reaction Team were also on the scene at the time of Bethany's rescue. They had surrounded the home. It just so happens that the family got to her first.

 

“While we were looking on one side, they were looking in another and they came upon her. It just so happens where they were looking was where she was found,” Cpl. Paul Mouton, a spokesman for the Lafayette Police Department said. "If we weren’t looking at all and they were searching, that would be different,”

 

Bethany was taken to Lafayette General Medical Center to receive treatment. She's expected to be released sometime today.

 

“She’s shook up, she’s sliced up, but she’s alright,” said her brother, Ryan Arceneaux, “We found her. We went and got her in that house. We kicked doors down. It was like a movie unfolding. “If we would have waited, she would have been dead.”

The sherriff's office issued a statement today saying the family member who shot Thomas will not be charged, but a report of the incident will be sent to the district attorney's office.

Bethany had been physically abused by Thomas for years. Her family hopes that women in similar situations learn not to go back to their abuser.

Associated Press

 

Mike Tyson's life story is the gift that keeps giving.

 

And giving. And giving.

 

At one time he was the baddest man on the planet, a heavyweight champion who terrorized anyone who got in his way, inside the ring or out. More recently he's unburdened himself as perhaps the most tortured soul on earth, with a one-man show on Broadway that Spike Lee has turned into an HBO special airing Nov. 16.

 

It turns out that Tyson didn't tell us everything. Not to worry, because he's taken care of that in a hefty autobiography that might be the most soul baring book of its genre ever written.

 

12350438852?profile=original

 

The title is "Undisputed Truth," and the truth is that Mike Tyson is one messed up dude. He's desperate to put his demons to rest, but the book needed an extra epilogue written just before printing to talk about him falling off the sobriety wagon once again.

 

And though things might be better these days in Tyson's world, he constantly warns that he's not far from slipping off the edge, or slipping back into a strip club to party with drugs and women.

 

"Sometimes I just fantasize about blowing somebody's brains out so I can go to prison for the rest of my life," he writes. "Working on this book makes me think that my whole life has been a joke."

 

If so, Tyson has yet to figure out the punch line. Though he has reinvented himself in recent years as a family man and vegan with enough comedic chops to act in movies, he says he lives daily with the dark past of a junkie who loved to snort cocaine and drink and was constantly preoccupied with finding women to bed.

 

The sex is detailed in almost clinical terms, and the many women in Tyson's life flow in and out of the pages like they did in his life. One big exception is Desiree Washington, the beauty pageant contestant who Tyson was convicted of raping in Indianapolis — a charge he heatedly denies — and spent three years in prison.

"How do you rape someone when they come to your hotel room at two in the morning?" he asks.

 

Even in prison he got his fill, he says, first with visitors and then with a prison drug counselor who suddenly became available after Tyson had $10,000 sent to her home to fix her roof.

 

"I was having so much sex that I was too tired to even to go the gym and work out," Tyson wrote. "I'd just stay in my cell all day."

 

The book is in Tyson's voice but written by Larry Sloman offers a fascinating look into a life that up until now had already been well chronicled. It's raw, and so profane that Tyson needs to explain some of the terms he uses for women and blacks in a separate chapter at the end.

 

But it is also quite funny in parts, like the time Tyson forgot about a suitcase that contained $1 million in cash, only to have one of his gofers find it a week later.

 

"I had had a rough night in the city and had forgotten where I left it," Tyson said.

 

Or when Monica Turner finally tired of his ways and filed for divorce.

 

"I guess she had had enough of my fooling around because I sure did a lot of it," Tyson said. "Calling to tell her I had AIDS probably didn't help either."

 

Tyson is brutal on himself throughout the book, despairing of his lack of self-control and feelings of inadequacy. But he's equally brutal about the people around him in a career that made him more than $300 million, yet left him so broke today that he says he will never be able to pay off his IRS debts.

 

He calls first wife Robin Givens a manipulative shrew who made him act like a trained puppy, says Evander Holyfield was a serial head butter with ties to steroids, and claims the late referee Mitch Halpern was drunk in the ring during his first fight with Holyfield in 1996.

And while he tells an epic tale of beating up British promoter Frank Warren in a London hotel room in 2000 for not paying his $800,000 jewelry bill, he saves special venom for the havoc Don King wreaked in his life.

 

Tyson was an equal opportunity fighter when it came to beating up promoters, detailing several times he bloodied King, including once on Miami highway when he tried to strangle him in the car from behind.

"When I think about all the horrific things that Don has done to me over the years I still feel like killing him," Tyson said.

 

There's more, much more. Tyson knows how to tell a story, and he tells them about people you don't expect, like the day he found actor Brad Pitt at Givens' house. When Tyson confronted them, he said Pitt begged, "Dude, don't stroke me. Don't stroke me. We were just going over some lines."

He talks about money as dispassionately as he does about sex, though it was difficult for him to hold on to any of it. When he fired everyone and got new accountants in 2000 they prepared a statement showing he started the year $3.3 million in the hole but made $65.7 million.

 

"The problem was that I spent $62 million that year," Tyson said, including $2.1 million on cars.

 

And the Maori tribal tattoo he got on his face? It was supposed to be some little hearts instead, but the tattoo artist talked him out of it.

 

By the time his career ended with a loss to journeyman Kevin McBride in 2005, Tyson was fat and more interested in partying than fighting. He would go on to bloat up to 380 pounds and continue to drink, smoke and snort his way through strip clubs and bars.

 

"I just said to myself, Wow, this is over. Now I can go out and really have fun."

 

The book was supposed to have a happy ending, with Tyson slim and happy in his new life with wife Kiki, who he credits for his attempt at sobriety. But Tyson had to write a new epilogue after acknowledging in August that he had gone out drinking again.

 

He's back in AA and he's trying to stay sober, he says. But life for Tyson has always been a constant struggle.

 

"I desperately want to get well," he says. "I have a lot of pain and I just want to heal. And I'm going to do my best to do just that. One day at a time."
