Derrick Mason Is A Jackass
OK, so maybe this will be a recurring feature: who in the world of sports can we now consider a bonafide jackass.
Today's entry is Derrick Mason, the veteran wide receiver for the Baltimore Ravens. You remember the Ravens, don't you? Well of course you do, they're that team that everyone thinks has a chance to win the Super Bowl every year yet has only to been to one in the last 12 years.
With all this NFL labor mess, the one thing that really has been missing is downright personal attacks. Well Mr. Mason has finally crossed that off the to-do list by calling NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell a joke for his stance on HGH testing. Mr. Mason believes the Commissioner's energies should be spent trying to get the two sides talking again.
For the record, Goodell made his comments while speaking at a high school in Maryland.
I have a couple problems with Mr. Mason in light of this: first of all, the two sides would probably still be talking if the players hadn't up and decertified, effectively ending any chance of extending deadlines. Remember kids, the deadline expired at 5 PM EST and the decertification wheels were spinning at 4 PM. You tell me who pushed this to a courtroom.
Wide receivers have a reputation of being primadonnas and not exactly having a grasp on reality. Mason fits the bill perfectly here. To be so obtuse as to not see how the actions of your colleagues are as culpable as anyone else in the current state of affairs is just amazing to me.
To sit here and say the Goodell should be trying to get the two sides talking when it was the players' decision that forced the courts to get involved is disingenuous at least, at most downright negligent.
The second problem I have with Mason is that in the interview, he later said he was against blood testing for HGH and PED's because it's too intrusive.
I'm sorry, what?
Having some guy watch you urinate into a cup isn't intrusive? I would prefer Mason say he's against it because he has doubts about the accuracy of such tests, as they have a long way to go to prove the conclusiveness. (See that, kids? A big boy word)
To me, the ones against the NFL taking whatever measures necessary to protect the integrity of the game are the ones who have something to hide. Case closed.
So Mr. Mason, you can find yourself added to my list of nemeses. Oh, and you're a jackass, too.
