Miami Dolphins lineman Richie Incognito, who recently completed a team-imposed suspension for allegedly bullying and harassing teammate Jonathan Martin, accused Martin of "betrayal" in a Twitter rant Wednesday.
Responding to a tweet from a local Dolphins beat writer, Incognito said, "I'm ready to move on with my life and career. I've been dragged through the mud for months by my 'best friend'. #betrayed #railroaded." Then he kept on going.
What's up TWITTTER!!!!!!! Happy Hump Day!!!!!
RT @68INCOGNITO What's up TWITTTER!!!!!!! Happy Hump Day!!!!! > We're getting close to report day Richie. You excited?
@OmarKelly we are? I haven't heard ANYTHING from ANYBODY regarding the report.
RT @68INCOGNITO we are? I haven't heard ANYTHING from ANYBODY regarding the report.> Late this week, or early next week what I've heard.
@OmarKelly you would know better than me. They don't tell me anything. It's just my entire life hanging in the balance. #NoRush
To @68INCOGNITO not sure if that's sending report to NFL and teams, or making it public. But it is time for this to be over.
@OmarKelly this should have been over before it even started. False allegations and lies have kept this going.
RT @68INCOGNITO this should have been over before it even started. False allegations and lies have kept this going.> I call it SPIN
I'm ready to move on with my life and career. I've been dragged through the mud for months by my "best friend". #betrayed #railroaded
@OmarKelly I call it trying to protect someone's signing bonus. Kenny Zimmerman <-----------
Dear Jon Martin..... The truth is going to bury you and your entire "camp". You could have told the truth the entire time.

Jon Martin---you started all of this when Kenny Zuckerman released the VM to ESPN. The same VM we joked about with @brianhartline
I'm guilty of being a loyal friend and good teammate. I apologize for my poor language and rude remarks. I've never denied it.
I apologize to all of the women out there that I offended with my text messages to my close personal friend.
FACT: Jonathan Martin told me he thought about taking his own life in MAY 2013 b/c he wasn't playing well. Told me he felt worthless.
I have no further comment at this time. Please contact my attorney Mark Schamel @WCSRtweet 202-857-4481
It was a sharp reversal from Incognito's supportive tweets about Martin little more than a week ago when the team announced the conclusion of Incognito's suspension.
The suspension was ended days after the Super Bowl as part of an administrative move agreed upon by all involved parties. He missed the Dolphins' final eight games of the 2013 season.
The Dolphins, Incognito and Martin are still waiting on results from an investigation by attorney Ted Wells, who was appointed by the NFL to look into the matter.
