Tre Mason is insane

Tracked down by WPBF Florida on Saturday, troubled RB Tre Mason shouted "No!" when asked by reporters if he would show up to Rams camp.

While Rams camp is taking place in Los Angeles, Mason is spending his time in West Palm Beach. Rams coaches haven't had contact with Mason for seven-plus months. On July 27, Mason's mother called police because Tre was "acting unusual and making irrational statements." When they arrived, Mason told deputies "he would call the White House and have them fired, and that he knew police were responsible for teaching Al Quaida pilots how to fly." Police immediately took Mason to a hospital for mental evaluation.

He was the definition of sane and stable at Auburn (even when he was a back-up player).

He's eithering suffering from a late on-set mental disease, suffered from a particularly bad concussion that did serious damage to his brain, or he's chosen to partake of the wrong chemical compounds.

I've been following this and it just makes me sad. :(

My wife's nephew developed schizophrenia at 18. At first they thought he had gotten hold of a bad drug, blaming his friends, and were surprised when he was diagnosed. Turns out he had a little bit of history on his father's side. It sucks for sure.

An ex-player that comes to mind is Titus Young. His name pops up from time to time here derogatorily, but he has been diagnosed with mental problems as well (though not schizophrenia). I cringe when people make light of those with mental disorders because the problem of mental disorder is more prevalent than some would like to admit.

As for football, there is some thought that concussions can cause or trigger occurrences of mental illness.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
