Brett Romberg calls Jonathan Martin 'garbage'

Former Miami Dolphins lineman Jonathan Martin recently retired from the NFL and explained how he experienced bouts of depression and attempted suicide several times throughout his NFL career.

None of that appears to matter to former Miami Hurricane Brett Romberg, who called Martin “a piece of garbage” on 790 The Ticket’s morning show as reported by the Miami New Times.

Romberg, a former center for the Hurricanes and a 10-year NFL veteran, criticized Martin for creating drama in the Miami Dolphins locker room after Martin accused former teammate Richie Incognito of bullying and harassment.

After Martin posted a deep, heartfelt explanation on Twitter about the end of his NFL career and the struggles he encountered, Romberg didn’t seem to buy any of it.
Romberg said on the 790 The Ticket that:

“He is. He’s a piece of garbage. The guy affected so many people’s lives around here. If you really think about it, Jonathan Martin has been sitting at home typing up his monologue or his inner monologue on Facebook. Talking about, ‘Woe is me. I’ve had issues.’”

Romberg went on to say that Martin essentially caused his own problems due to his own mental and health issues.

“You wanna cry about committing suicide and all this other stuff man, just don’t, don’t talk about it anymore,” Romberg said on 790 The Ticket.
