Jetfan13 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Ravens' Mason irked at Crowder's 'old guy' comment DAVIE He's appeared in 209 games and caught 889 passes for almost 11,500 yards and 60 touchdowns during a 14-year career. Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder appeared to dismiss those numbers when earlier this week he referred to Ravens receiver Derrick Mason as "the old guy." Mason wasn't happy about it. Friday, Mason directed a salvo at Crowder, telling The Baltimore Sun, "He was still peeing on himself when I was playing football." Crowder was 14 — and presumably in control of his bodily functions — when Mason, 36, made his NFL debut in 1997 for the Tennessee Oilers. Mason may be the oldest player on the Ravens' roster, but he's by no means playing like it. Starting opposite Anquan Boldin, Mason has caught 26 passes for 357 yards and a touchdown. Last month, he had big games at Pittsburgh and at New England, catching six for 80 yards and eight for 100, respectively. "In the corporate world, I probably couldn't even be somebody's CEO because I'm too young," Mason said. "A lot of people around this league wish, at 36, that they could play at the level that I'm playing at. There's only one other guy that's playing at this level when he's 36 and that's Terrell Owens. There's a lot of other guys wishing they could play at this level, i.e. Crowder, at the age of 36." In six regular-season games against the Dolphins, Mason has three touchdowns and twice has totaled more than 80 yards. The last of those was in 2008, when he made a combined 10 catches for 158 yards in the regular season and postseason meetings against the Dolphins. "Listen, as long as their coaches know, that's all that matters. I'm not worried about Chowder," said Mason, purposely mispronouncing the name. "What's his name? Crowder? Excuse me. I've watched him on film, so I know his name. He's either not watching film or not paying attention in meetings. But it is what it is. You don't play through the newspapers, you play on the field. He's a pretty good player. He's just got to deal with the guys up front and our fullback." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayJoe12 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Ravens' Mason irked at Crowder's 'old guy' comment In six regular-season games against the Dolphins, Mason has three touchdowns and twice has totaled more than 80 yards.

He's a pretty good player. He's just got to deal with the guys up front and our fullback." This has always been my biggest problem with players; due to their massively large egos, they always feel the need to respond when another player spouts off at the mouth and yet somehow they try to stay on their high horse. It's just the height of irony, when you are criticizing another player for talking about you in the press and say to leave it out of the papers, when you in fact are saying this...in the papers. I like Mason, but he's got just as big of an ego as Crowder. If he wanted to make a point, he'd say absolutely nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
