LINK Jason Cole goes full, speculative,psychoanalytic, kick-em-while-he's-down-piling-on-Douchebag mode here.



quote:

Sure, Mathieu has been seeking guidance from a pastor in Baton Rouge and from his high school coach. Sure, he's not a malevolent kid. He's just smoking marijuana, not assaulting people. But he's also the kid who worked out, admitted he had a problem and seemed to think everything was fixed. It's as if Mathieu put a Band-Aid on an open gash and thought, "All better."

It's almost as if getting kicked off the team wasn't quite enough for Mathieu to get the concept of rejection. Hard lessons fade like a bad dye job when you have people like ESPN's Jon Gruden calling you the best cornerback in the draft (even though Arizona and most teams saw him as a safety if he's going to start) and when you're fully armed with the notion that rules don't apply (Mathieu admitted to failing at least 10 drug tests at LSU).

He's in the League now. Don't expect it to get any better. He will be on egg shells for the rest of his life, unless of course he wins a Super Bowl and says "God" all the time like Ray Lewis.

Doesn't matter, he's been drafted. Now he has his chance to prove the haters wrong.

There is no more interesting character in life or literature than the "flawed hero."

Geaux Tyrann! Make all the haters cry. Living well is the best revenge.

Everything he said is true, but here is some perspective: his biological Dad is a murderer and his mom never wanted anything to do with him until he became famous. Does Mathieu get it? No, he doesn't. Did he have good people raising him? Yeah, he did, but the damage is deep. He has been dreaming for years that he is coulde be "the man," the man as defined not by Cole 's idea of what is honarable and good, but as defined by his homies. Cole really doesnt have a clue.... He rally doesn't.

Ray Lewis is a murderer. If that isn't the greatest example of winning fixing everything then consider this...

Some people just want to see people fail.

I get a kick out of how he blames Mathieu for the publicity he has gotten, yet is writing an article about TM7.

Truth is, Jason Cole probably doesn't like Mathieu and never will. Good thing is it doesn't matter if he does and it doesn't matter if 31 of the NFL executives he spoke to don't because the AZ Cardinals have him.

Stories like this make me disappointed in the human race, tbh.

That's the main thing I got from that article. Some of the 'red flags' he spoke about were absolutely ridiculous. Others were worrying, but honestly, some of the criticism lately makes he think that no matter what Mathieu does, someone's going to make it out to be negative. Seriously, if he had not been at the draft or not given an interview after, I can image the bullshite that would have been said about him. Getting publicity is a 'red flag'? Crazy. Especially after the media covered for Teo and his fake dead girlfriend and pretended like the guy hadn't lied or exaggerated or isn't a headcase at all.

Mathieu and company weren't just smoking weed. He, Jefferson, Hatcher were grinding it and selling it hence the 10 plus bags of the stuff. Anybody that thinks he was just smoking a little weed is crazy.

Did TM7 ask to be on covers of magazines?
