Yes!

I believe you do. It doesn't mean you do, but is is what I honestly believe down deep.

Now, please answer Yes or No. What do you believe down deep like me?

Do you personally believe that Michael Thomas holds some sort of personal grudge toward Gardner-Johnson that impacts the stability of the Saints moving forward?

Oh, my answer is No.

One word is all it takes.

Why are you so hung up on this specific question worded this way? It is along the lines of “do you still beat your dog?”.

I don't get that out of it. It's either yes or no. Neither answer defines you. It just answers what you believe. To me the answer is easy. No. In no way do I believe that.

I asked it that way because that is what ST implied he believed and you came to his defense when I questioned it. Just wondering what you truly think yourself.

I honestly think their is an equal chance of their being a dislike between the two as there is of them being fine with each other.

The whole point was ...

... some sort of personal grudge toward Gardner-Johnson that impacts the stability of the Saints moving forward?

Not whether they like each other or not.

I won’t feel bad for expressing my opinion (or lack thereof) about it. Ridicule if you like. Two guys had a fight. One got suspended. There is obviously a history. I don’t know how each feels about the other now. Thomas turned on Brees a bit and seems to have a high level of self confidence with his CGM persona (some would say a WR Diva complex). J seems to have a way of getting under opponents skin. I’m not going to discount the possibility they don’t like each other. Weather that translates to a situation that could have a serious impact on the team is another matter. I am not going to count on it either way. Like expressed before, I hope it’s not there. Sorry that answer bothers you. You are trying to maneuver me into an answer about a hypothetically potential situation of your making and answering that question has no benefit.

You think you know, but you don’t know...and you never will! Coach Jim Mora

Thank you! You went above and beyond. You explained the situation quite well and qualified your thoughts. That's all I was asking, truly. You are a valuable member of our B&G community and I respect your input tremendously.
