Miami Dolphins guard Richie Incognito (68) and tackle Jonathan Martin (71) stand on the field during practice in Davie, Fla. on July 24, 2013.

Attempting to provide context for his treatment of teammate Jonathan Martin, Richie Incognito claimed he also received a threatening text message. The suspended Miami Dolphins guard made this revelation when he sat down with Jay Glazer of FOX Sports to discuss the Dolphins' bullying scandal involving him and Martin. A second-year offensive tackle, Martin abruptly left the Dolphins on Oct. 28 to receive treatment for emotional distress. Incognito, once named the NFL's dirtiest player in a poll of his peers, was subsequently suspended by the Dolphins on Nov. 2 for unspecified misconduct related to alleged mistreatment of Martin.

"People don't know how John and I communicate to one another," Incognito explained to Glazer. "For instance, a week before this went down, Jonathan Martin texts me on my phone: 'I will murder your whole effing family.' Now, did I think Jonathan Martin was going to murder my family? Not one bit. I knew it was coming from a brother. I knew it was coming from a friend. I knew it was coming from a teammate."

Hours after the interview aired on FOX on Sunday afternoon, David Cornwell, an attorney for Martin, shared a profane Internet meme featuring a smiling woman and a dog on Twitter and indicated this was the message that Incognito mentioned to Glazer.

Is that what viewers had in mind as Incognito recalled the text message?

Incognito referenced the text from Martin when asked about the threatening voice and text messages he had reportedly sent that included racial slurs. Speaking with Glazer, Incognito confirmed leaving the following voicemail for Martin, who is bi-racial.

“Hey, wassup, you half n—– piece of [expletive] . . . I saw you on Twitter, you been training ten weeks. [I want to] [expletive] in your [expletive] mouth. [I'm going to] slap your [expletive] mouth. [I'm going to] slap your real mother across the face (laughter). [Expletive] you, you’re still a rookie. I’ll kill you.”

Although he did expressed embarrassment over the voicemail, Incognito cited the text from Martin as evidence that both players traded similar threats in jest. He portrayed a locker room culture where such language was acceptable.

"When I see that voicemail, when I see those words come across the screen, I'm embarrassed by it," Incognito said after he was presented with a transcript of the offensive voicemail he left for Martin. "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 not right."

Terrence Howard
My Ex Is Threatening
And Framing Me!
Terrence Howard's ex-wife threatened to kill him and his family during an argument last week in Costa Rica ... this according a police report obtained by TMZ.

TMZ broke the story ... Michelle Ghent is going to court this morning ... claiming Terrence physically abused her during the argument.  She wants a restraining order against the actor.

Terrence tells a radically different story.  According to the police report, the two of them had "a normal married fight" (even though they divorced in May), but he says things escalated when she threatened to kill him and his family, and then pulled out pepper spray and attacked him, his kids and his son-in-law. 

Terrence denies laying a finger on her, and says he only told her to stop as he retreated.

We've learned in today's hearing, Terrence will give the judge text messages from last May, in which an angry Michelle writes, "I would start hiding if I were u."  In another text she writes, "Be careful when u leave your place.  U should move."  And in yet another she writes, "I know where u and ur family live.  Watch yourself."

Michelle also texted back in May, "You need to be put down once and for all.  I will not stop until all knows who u are." 

In the police report Terrence says Michelle tried to commit suicide 2 months ago and was hospitalized and diagnosed with paranoia.  And she seems to confirm that in one of the texts, in which she says, "I'm just insane.  I went to a crazy institute."

We'll be in court for the hearing, so stay tuned.

Bieber's Bogus BFF
Asks for Restraining Order
Beliebers Are Threatening To Kill Me
The famed freeloader known as ?King Kevi -- who rose to sub-fame by hanging out at Justin Bieber's house and pretending to be the singer's BFF -- now completely regrets his life choices ... claiming the Belieber nation has turned on him in a big way, and threatened his life.

20-year-old Kevin Pederson has filed a request for a restraining order against the singer, claiming Bieber tweeted out his cell number on June 13th ... unleashing a 40,000,000-person Belieber army on his ass.

Kevin says Bieber tweeted out the number as an act of vengeance against reports that he and Kevin are friends -- insisting the two NEVER met.

Kevin claims Bieber deleted the number minutes later, but it was too late -- his cell number had already been released to a vicious bloodthirsty mob of teen girls ... and these girls do NOT mess around.

Kevin says he has since received thousands of death threats and he genuinely fears for his safety -- claiming it only takes ONE crazy Bieber fan to end his life.

Bottom line, Kevin wants Bieber to stop tweeting about him -- and he also wants Bieber and his goons to stay 150 yards away from him at all times.

Bieber's reps claim Justin never tweeted the number in the first place.

Fun fact: Kevin is the same guy who staged late night pics at Selena Gomez's gate earlier this year to make it look like he was hooking up with her.
