She noticed her son’s behavior was different after the 2015 season: “Clearly, we could see the change. Like, completely... As much as he’s accomplished, as hard as he’s worked, as much as he’s built his character, in record-breaking time it’s going downhill because of what’s going on." In November, Mason pleaded no contest to charges related to the ATV chase. Mason was arrested in January 2017 for the incident and charged with a third degree felony of fleeing and eluding without regard for others' safety or property. To recap: In March 2016, Mason was pulled over for driving 75 mph in a 35 mph zone and Tased when he refused to exit his vehicle. In July 2016, he was caught doing wheelies and driving recklessly in an ATV before then fleeing the cops. His mother, , subsequently told authorities her son was “22 in a 10-year-old’s mindset” due to concussions, adding, “Tre is not himself at all.” Cops were called to his home five times in four months, once for what Mom described as “irrational statements.” That police report indicated that when Mason saw the cops he threatened to call the White House and have them all fired before then saying police were responsible for teaching al-Qaida how to fly planes. In July of that year, Mason was admitted to a South Florida hospital for a mental health evaluation, according to a Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office report. Then, in August, Mason was cited for blocking a lane of traffic with his Maserati. He never showed up for Los Angeles Rams training camp Sounds like a guy who knew he wouldn't pass a piss test.

It isn't up on 3 Down Nation which I find interesting. Wait till you see who he has at #2, #20 & at #40. His credibility just flew out the window.

Pretty clear he was juicing and got a huge advantage from it but they didn't figure it out until after the Riders had been bounced by the Argos. Such a dirty team of ugly cheaters over there.

Manziel at #40 despite never playing a single down in the CFL. I don’t care that Nichols is at 20, I hate when these lists prop up QBs ahead of other positions. IF - and I’m speaking hypothetically - Nichols is in the second tier of QBs and Carter is in the first tier of receivers, then Carter should be ranked ahead of Nichols. However, I think that Carter is a few years into his CFL career and the media is still talking about his potential. After a certain point, you shouldn’t get ranked about what you might do if you put it all together. And I couldn’t care less if he plays both ways, that seems like more of a stunt then actually adding value. He should be behind several other receivers on this list. Nichols was probably ranked fairly, IMO. I don’t have him ahead of the big three yet (Ray is obviously only good when healthy at this point, but gets the nod because of his total career).

What makes the most sense for the Riders would be to have Carter play WR and back up DB so that he could then go full time both ways if there was an in game injury to a DB. They could then dress one less backup DB. Atomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booch Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 thats what I think they started doing last year, but that is in my opinion dumb as say Carter gets hurt..then a DB gets hurt..or shaken up...you got nothing there to back-up other than the plugs they have as their Canadian safeties...but on the flipside...it;s the Riders and hope they do that and get burned by it..Will look good on Jones and his silly tendency to try and fit square pegs into round holes just because they are or look like "athletes" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid for it, and has started over. Thigpen, broke a rule while playing in the playoffs. They both broke rules and will pay for it. One did it while playing in the playoffs last year, the other did it the preseason in a different league, 2 years ago. Just take the green goggles off for a second and use your smrts.
