\t\t\t\t\"Incognito\"<\/a>It didn\u2019t take long for former Miami Dolphin Richie Incognito to land on his feet after being let go by the Dolphins. The NFL cast away was given an opportunity by a Stapleton family. \u201cWe have a seven year old boy and a 10 year old boy,\u201d said Stapleton parent John Gibbs. \u201cI have been trying to toughen my kids up, but I feel like they need a little bump in the right direction. I figured no one would be better than Richie at bullying my kids to put a few callouses on their souls.\u201d\n\nThe details of the contract have yet to be released, but Incognito will spend time with the family a few hours each night, and then 6-8 hours each weekend day. \u201cWe don\u2019t need him to live with us, but we need him to be here enough that he can brow beat the kids a little bit,\u201d said Gibbs. Incognito became infamous in the last NFL season when it came to light that he had been bullying teammate Jonathan Martin, often threatening him and calling him racist and phobic names. \u201cIn Jonathan\u2019s case, the bullying backfired, and it didn\u2019t make him tougher,\u201d said Gibbs. \u201cHowever, I think with my kids, it will go the other direction, and the kids will get tougher.\u201d\n\u201cI am very excited for this next chapter in my life,\u201d said Incognito as he read from a written statement. \u201cI feel that I will be a great asset to the Gibbs family, and especially the boys. I look forward to mocking them, slapping them, and calling them names they have yet to hear. All in an effort to make them the tough boys we know they can be.\u201d Incognito begins his work for the Gibbs family in April.\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
