Incognito returns to Twitter to ask “please stop the hate”

Richie Incognito launched a Twitter tirade against Jonathan Martin earlier this week and said Martin would be buried by the truth when NFL investigator Ted Wells’ report was released, but his account lay dormant for several hours on Friday after Wells’ report failed to do that.

There was a release from his attorney calling the report “replete with errors” and that the facts “do not support” the conclusions drawn by Wells that Incognito harassed Martin. Incognito broke his Twitter silence later on Friday afternoon, but the message was more something you’d find on a candy heart than the flames he was shooting in Martin’s direction a couple of days ago.

“Pleeeeease Stop The Hate. Happy Valentines Day :),” Incognito wrote.

If the past and the statement from his lawyer is any guide, it’s a good guess that we’ll hear more from Incognito on the matters involved in the report in the future. It’s also probably a good guess that not all of it will carry such a saccharine tone.
