Just b/c something isn't a crime doesn't mean it's also not news. It's "news" for several reasons:

1) Preliminarily, for the backstory between Incognito & Martin;
2) Even without that, it would be some ET piece on "Ha ha look at the rich guy bash a Ferrari";
3) Incognito has a long history of on-the-field rage issues. Given the high profile of the NFL, and, again, even without the Martin backstory, it would likely be reported and held up as an example of what an unstable guy he is and what team would want to take a risk on him.

Sure, if it had nothng to do with the NFL, if there wasn't a back story where Incognito's behavior towards another player wasn't called into question, if the guy wasn't a high profile UFA with a tenuous history in the NFL, then, yup. No story.

I mean, rich guys rage out on Ferrari's all the time - nothing to see here.
