Off field extra-curricular activities that take away from a player’s focus, especially one who was already under the microscope because of how he/the team handled his injury, is relevant.
When he goes bat-chit crazy like AB I might have something to say.

Yes, it would have been nice if he was available day one, but he isn't. He will be sooner than later so whatever will be, will be. As you know, the future's not ours to see ...

We don't vote for the majority of people in the public eye. However those who are "leaders" owe it to themselves and those who look up to them to be a model for what's right.

Funny how simultaneous to this, exists a thread on Marcus Colston who was more than "just a football player" to many. Including me. And you, who was one of two jerseys you've ever owned.

There are countless athletes alone who are more than just players....

I think he’s gonna ball out when he comes back. You’ll see him stretch the field as well. Everybody suffered from the inability of Brees to push it down field. I can’t wait to see how wide open this offense is going to look. Thomas is gonna wreck shop when he gets back.

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million

To level set, I don't hold anything against MT13 for a peripheral lawsuit. After all, remember a few years ago there was a lawsuit between Drew and a jeweler or something during an off-season. Life happens.

Indeed. But that's their choice. Being just a player is okay too, and I know you agree I'm not arguing your point. I'm just not willing write off MT over, well anything. He may need counselling. If so I hope he gets it. When he calls my phone I might have some things to say. Until then I'm pulling for the guy on and off the field. If coach reached out and says things are cool then you know, that's one of the reasons coach is paid so well.

I know some fans take it personally. I do too sometimes. Who was that guy who got into trouble with the girl while with us, then got "hurt", then ended up in Washington where he flamed out in a blaze of glory? Can't remember his name. That dude was a douche nozzle. I'm not fixing to wrap MT up in the bag with that dude. LOL

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million

Not that it matters... Is it good value to rent a facility for $60000 a month to refresh and recuperate an ailing ankle ? Was cell coverage not sufficient in this impressive abode ? Wifi sucked too? Besides what's in the article, what basis is there for such a lawsuit if the rental was $60000 a month? Begs to question what else happened that we don't know yet that motivated MT to file this.
