The tool bag returns to brow beat anyone that has a different opinion than his. And then patronizes Rez in hoping that he can get some backup for his completely ridiculous narrative that players and coaches can do no wrong.

Same ****. Different day.

But you aren't his teammate. His teammates are people he has been close to for years already in some cases. There are teammates that love him like a brother. That's the huge difference between fans and players.

Point out the "brow beating". I missed it. If you don't it is obvious I didn't. And how the hell do you know what I say since you "claim" and brag about having blocked me? Or are you not strong enough to keep me blocked?

That, by the way, was a brow beat.

Best way to lower his altitude a little bit would be for somebody to step up and play like they want the job. That would solve a lot of problems and create a few good problems regarding roster options going forward.

Just sayin'...

This is a Saints forum. We discuss all things Saints related, good or bad. If you want a site with rainbows and a gestapo that enforces group think then I have a suggestion for you.



Just understand that it aint this site.

Hey, it goes both ways, ice. When have I ever said you weren't allowed have those opinions? I just beg to differ with them at times and explain the pros and cons. It goes both ways, my friend, and I see everyone here as my friend. Yet I get blasted for "rainbows" by the local gestapo. If it weren't for your ability to voice your opinions I wouldn't be here. I was a member at that other site WAY before joining here many years ago. Never liked it because people weren't real. Disagreements and debate are real. I'll buy any of you a beer and/or accept one myself in person and carry on the debate then and there.

I have a feeling that many of his teammates are pissed off that his attitude and actions are keeping him off the field and from helping the team win ball games.

The fact that he's just been allowed to "get away" with this behaviour speaks volumes. His contract means he has this team over a barrell and he and Sean knows it. His ego is ugly.

Always negative huh, OKay 🙄. A problem can’t be fixed if it’s existence is ignored. Thomas’ actions are a problem.

Your feeling don't matter. Do you not understand that concept? It is a team matter.

Could be a problem. As a positive individual I am inclined to wait and see instead of expecting the worst. Most envisioned problems never materialize.

But, I can only hope to enlighten you to feel the positive powers that exist.

:D

I don’t know who, but in this case, “butt kissers gonna kiss” to paraphrase your favorite “haters” comment.

No! ***** away! That's fine. That is your prerogative. Go for it!

I also have the right to challenge your beliefs, right? Or do you deny that?

I'm wondering whose ass are you considering I am kissing? Nobody that means anything reads this forum but us.

LOL!

Obviously you have the right, I just feel its out of line to belittle members when they don't consistently spout sunshine and roses when discussing a topic, about an individual that's affecting the team.

I get that you are an ultra positive individual, that's absolutely fine. However, this thread in its nature is quite a negative subject, so people are going to voice their displeasure and whilst you are ofcourse entitled to your opinion, so are we, so being told we are "being negative as usual" or "our feelings don't matter" in my opinion is out of line. This is a fan forum, our feelings matter to us.

I wouldn't think you'd need to point out my connection to Michael Thomas but since we're here - You aren't his teammate either! Nor are you any closer to any of his teammates than I am.

I simply stated what "I would do". That's MY opinion.

But if you don't think the WRs aren't out there trying to take anyone's position, you're crazy.

There are no sacred cows.

Of course they are seeing their opportunity! As they should. I don't disagree at all. But, many care for him as a brother "in arms" and hope for the best for them and their team. I would expect to do the same myself. Wouldn't you?

That’s a contradiction. How can he be a brother in arms and players expect
him to want what’s best for the team when/if he behaves in a selfish manner? I’d expect such brotherhood would include being there for your teammate, wouldn’t you? You know what, never mind.

I guess it doesn't register for you. Go back and carefully read what I posted. Not worth my time right now. :rolleyes:

How do you know? Because you read it on the internet? Again - you're no closer than any of us so you're assuming.

If you want my opinion, whether he did this on purpose or not, he's "healing" on the team's time. AKA letting his team down.

I know that. That is what surprised me. We all have opinions here and have to be able to express them and take what ever other's takes are on those opinions or we become stagnant.
