Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
 

The basis was that it somehow screwed up his training routine. I can't see him winning that or even being able to associate an amount, so at least he can get the deposit back, which may be the goal to begin.

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
 

Right... we are not privy yet to the details of the suit... which was my point. ;)

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
 

Yup.

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
 

Two kids!

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
 

That's really not going to help me much since I'm 62. Maybe I should adopt. :doh:

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
 

Well, he killed my enthusiasm for him....

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
 

Until he catches 12 passes for 159 yards and three touchdowns against the Buccaneer's in week seven.

Who Dat!

20-0 Baby!

:bng:

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
 

I will pull for him to play well but I'm not pulling for the player.

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
 

I am inclined to agree with this. Maybe I am expecting too much from him, based on pre-payday production. Calling him Terrell Owens at this point, might be a stretch.

The other beef is how some solely blame Brees for Thomas doing absolutely zero upon his return last year. Pitch and catch = two players at fault.

Again, same as last year he will be out a few games, will see how he responds to returning this season. My hope is that Calloway and others rise to the occasion and Thomas continues to be as insignificant as he was last season and will be the first 6 weeks of this season.

Thomas definitely needs to reassess the way he approaches life. People are truly happier when they don't think of themselves first but want to spread good vibes. Can't call Mike needs a different mojo. :beatnik:

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
 

I’d love to see Thomas score a touchdown and softly lay the ball down on the ground.

No muscleman poses - leave your statement in your playing

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
 

The guy broke records not even 2 years ago. You "grumpy old men" type seem to forget this. And I'm 45. He has definitely left a statement in his playing so far. None of you seem to bring this up when Gronk spikes the ball or anyone else doing some form of celebrating, like Brees shaking his fist after a TD. I hate some politicize everything. There's nothing wrong with criticizing things. It's just a bad look when there's zero consistency because......well, you put a political spin on everything.

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
 

Politics and sports have to meet when players demonstrate during the national anthem. It is the players that invite it. Not grumpy old men.

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
 

Yeah. Because Gronk is known for ****ting all over his team and being a selfish ******* on social media.

Jimmy Graham used to spike the ball over the uprights. But he loved his team.

And since you brought up politics. I sincerely hope you feel safe when you put your mask on when you go into a restaurant, then take it off when you're sitting down. HUUUUGE difference. When you sit, you're safer. Lol. Keep eating that spoon fed garbage.

The "grumpy old men" weren't huge fans of TO or any of the like that put themselves above the team, BEFORE the kneeling and the BS that has erupted.

You should call them grumpy old Patriots. You obviously lost your way.

We just want to watch football.

I wouldn't lose an ounce of sleep if MT got traded. Loved the WR with a chip on his shoulder. Not a fan of the guy who **** all over a class act QB that left everything on the field.

But that's just my opinion.

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
 

Yep. It is your opinion, but this whole post proved my point. I didn't make anything political. Just brought up the BS that you and those like you do.

Carry on.

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
 

BTW.....I don't wear a mask. I'm vaccinated. It was never anything politically driven for me. I had my doubts and fears about the vaccine. My BIL and his father are both MDs, and they are both Republicans. I have 5 cousins and 2 other family members who are RNs. I know nearly 2 dozen people from high school and college who are nurses who I'm friends with on social media. I find it interesting that not a single one of them do not endorse the vaccine. Natural selection is occurring right in front of all of us. I can't convince anyone of anything, but it's time for folks to stop being stubborn and void of logic and reason. Everyone I know who opposes all of this is politically driven. I'm glad I'm not stupid.

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
 

Oh stop. It's both. It's always been in sports. It started with Jackie Robinson and the '68 Olympics.

I have a friend who is an Army Ranger. He says that patriotism is defined by what you do for your fellow countrymen. I wish some of you would stop with the national anthem nonsense. You do nothing but prove my point.

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
 

Sorry shawnk, but you lost me. What point of yours did I prove? That Kaperdick wearing anti-police socks and *****ing about racial inequities when he was one of the highest paid QBs in the league was a grumpy old man’s fault?

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
 

Actually it's just pretty much just me bro. Lol.

We can agree to disagree on the other stuff though.

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
 

I gotta agree. I believe the majority of the disdain for Thomas stems from the position he took on Drew Brees and his comments. However, I saw somebody attempting to play through a pretty serious injury last year that resulted in him needing surgery. I hope he plays with the Saints for a long time. If we have to move on from him hopefully we’re compensated handsomely.

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
 

Once again, wearing a mask is not to protect the wearer ... it is to protect others from the wearer. It is absolutely astounding that a few people do not understand this very simple concept. It truly calls into question the rest of their arguments. :D Keeping a mask on limits the possible shedding to the table, not the entire path to and from the table.

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
 

Preach on brother.

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
 

Amen brother.

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
 

Cool. Have fun with that for the rest of your lives. Covid won't go away. Ever. I don't believe the masks are very effective and there's zero proof they are. I'll just live my life and breath oxygen. Besides, it's not fair to the world to cover my face. It's just to awesome. lol.

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
 

In the past month 209,057 new cases have been reported. 3,026 people have died from it. Most of them did not get their shot. You could be dead wrong. I hope not though.

Bye Mike!

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
 

Disagree. I think Drew's image was that of a team guy. Thomas' rep is the opposite. Personally I don't think that's true at all, but it is, I think, the perception.

What someone does with their perception is on them.
