The Facts: Mathis, who isn't supposed to ride motorcycles, was involved in an accident over the weekend. The AFC's Pro Bowl kickoff returner wasn't injured seriously. He suffered cuts on his arms and is wearing bandages that are supposed to come off this week.

Diehards Line:As we follow up on this ongoing story (see previous items here and here), Chronicle staffer John McClain put it best when he suggested that Mathis is blowing a great opportunity to show the new coaching staff that all those things they heard about him (that he can't be counted on for example) aren't true. ... Even though, McClain added: "They are."
