Kawika Mitchell Gives a Ringing Endorsement for New Bill Incognito (Not)

When you are born with the last name of Incognito, the last thing you would think is that news of adding Richie Incognito to your team would be so newsworthy, or make a very big splash. Well, it is safe to say that since the Bills claimed him off of the waiver wire from the St. Louis Rams on Tuesday, Incognito is joining the team in anything but clandestine fashion.

It appears that Incognito has garnered a reputation among NFL defensive players as being one of the dirtiest players in the league. Maybe it is fitting he joined the team this week since the Bills will be facing another player with a dirty reputation as well—Vince Wilfolk of the New England Patriots.

In fact, the Patriots featured several dirty players, but half of them retired when Rodney Harrison stepped away from his playing career this season.

For those of you that are into Twitter, you would have raised an eyebrow if you happened to read how Bills linebacker Kawika Mitchell reacted to the news that Incognito had just joined the Bills.

The quote from Mitchell on Twitter read: "BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT THIS YR. THE GUYS A BUM. DIRTY AND ALWAYS WILL BE. REALLY WISH I WAS PLAYIN RITE NOW. SERIOUSLY... I KNO WE'RE N NEED OF OLINE BUT THIS GUY SUKS BALLS."

Wow. Talk about a ringing endorsement. Should make for a pretty interesting meeting the first time the two of them are in the locker room together.

Mitchell acknowledged that it probably wasn't the smartest thing to say about his brand new teammate, but he was not about to change his assessment.

Starting guard Lionel Simmons is out this week due to a shoulder injury, so Incognito could very well be another brand new starter on the offensive line for the Bills this year. Just one more name to add to an ever-growing list of names.

For those not aware of Incognito, his reputation is one of a hot-head. You can get under his skin and he will react by losing his cool and over-reacting.

He takes a number of questionable personal foul penalties that are difficult for an offense to overcome. The Rams have had enough of it, and let him walk away.

As challenged as the Bills' offense is to generate drives and pick up first downs, it will not take the crowd long to let Richie know how they feel about being set back 15 yards. For Incognito, he wanted to have a fresh start.

Will his past reputation prevent him from making a positive impact on the Bills? Or will Richie sneak out of town at the end of the year Incognito?
