Derrick Mason upset with “total disrespect” from Bill Belichick

Posted by Michael David Smith on September 16, 2011, 6:44 PM EDT

APIn my review of the new NFL Films documentary on Bill Belichick, I noted that the film included a sideline encounter the Patriots’ coach had with Derrick Mason during a 2009 game. I thought the profane exchange between the two of them was just some good-natured trash talk, but Mason suggested today that he was angry about it.

Mason, who played for the Ravens at the time of the incident, weighed in on Twitter today about the exchange with Belichick.

“Just saw that belichick video thing all u ppl are commenting about. He might As well called me boy! Lol total Disrespect,” Mason wrote. “Had I said that to him, everyone would have been in a uproar! I have to much respect for the game to speck to a coach in that manner!”

Frankly, anyone who saw the video can see that Mason’s complaints are preposterous. During the exchange in question it was Mason who approached Belichick on the Patriots’ sideline with the Patriots leading in the fourth quarter, and after their exchange (which ended with Belichick urging Mason to look at the scoreboard) Mason walked away laughing.

So why is Mason speaking up today as if he’s angry at Belichick? It strikes me as mostly an attempt to get a rise out of people. Mason is with the Jets now, and he wants to get in on one of the league’s big rivalries.

UPDATE: Mason clarified on Twitter that he’s not upset with Belichick — but he is upset with me.

“Ppl I’m not the least bit upset with coach messiah excuse me again I mean coach bb.. Lol I didn’t remember the incident until today,” Mason wrote in response to this post. “And michael David smith, I would love to talk with u about the incident. U know how to get in touch with me.”

Coach Messiah. Lmao. Love it.

I watched that exchange, very awkward seeing that old crotchety man cuss out a player. It was like watching the biggest nerd in class actually stand up to some bullies verbal abuse and had never talked sh*t before.

Look at Deemason85 trying to get his last fifteen minutes of fame in.

He's so full of sh*t. But, hey, whatever it takes to get your name in the press. As they say, no such thing as bad publicity.

What a tool.

You're a fan of BB and the Pats, yet Mason is the tool?

I think it's funny how Belly told Mason to look at the scoreboard, when the game was only 3-0 NE during the 1st quarter.

[Bleedin Green]

Meh, I don't get what's so bad about what Mason said. He's not wrong. If it was a player saying that to BB, the media would be crucifying the player. Hell, just look at this very "article", which tried to do just that with Mason in this case. How badly did Rex get ripped last year for his language at the team's training camp, when it wasn't even directed at any individuals? The media are a bunch of biased, hypocritical assholes. This isn't exactly news and Mason isn't wrong for pointing it out.

So he is talking $hit after one catch? Plus, whether it is the first or third quarter, they are still losing? Just for the record, who won that game?

[dbatesman]

Mason needs to get a life. Why can't he just bring his lunchpail to work, play the game the right way, keep his head down and his mouth shut, and get wired for an entire season so that NFL Network can make a documentary about his life?
