If you want your $60,000 deposit back and the owner refuses the best way to do it is sue for more. People seldom sue for near as much as they seriously hope to receive. I can easily see him settling for that.

And, yet, if he remains well liked by his teammates how is that a cancer? The fact that he has ruffled feathers of some fans means nothing. I'm looking forward to him and Callaway shredding opponents all season long. Thomas is apparently well ahead of schedule and can be back fairly soon.

Get the guy back on the field cuz we're gonna need him. Everything else will work out as the season progresses.
I can see MT and Jameis connecting with
a lot of deep receptions.

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

I'm down with this ^

And let me say, I'm pulling for Michael the same way I've advocated for Jameis's revival in New Orleans. I am a fan of redemption stories. I think Sean Payton is as well.

Besides, I can empathize, my own head wasn't screwed on right until my late thirties.

What you said should be his sole measuring stick - perform and it goes away, don't and it's all rolled into the reasons why he should go.

I 100% agree this offense is poised to be #1 in the NFL. Jameis has the arm. Elite O line. We have the weapons. No more safeties cheating up 2-3 yards. Kamara will dominate.

I'm pumped!

I am fully pulling for CGM to return to the field and lead the team to a second Lombardi. I don’t fault the guy for off the field legal issues that don’t involve criminal complaints.

I am disappointed as a fan that the guy who at one time was a great example
of a record setting, non-diva type WR has since had questions arise about his behavior. Be it with the way he responded to Brees to the way he fought with a teammate and had a team suspension to the way he chose to have his surgery at an inconvenient time for the team. These are not the actions of a team leader in my option. He earned and is being payed top WR dollars. I don’t think it’s too much to ask as a fan that the player that takes on this financial gain also take on a certain responsibility with that kind of contract. It’s the difference between being a Marcus Colston or being a Terrell Owens.

As a landlord and also from a former tenant perspective, there has to be a justification/proof for an amount to sue for. You can't just make up a number just because you think it's a strategy or whatever. You'll be laughed out of the courtroom. It's not like a defamation or some other similar suit. So there is something yet undisclosed to support an amount like that. It's more likely the media has yet to divulge additional details. Brees in his suit with the jeweler had common sense basis for his claim. We shall see with MT.

Please let me know how you did that. My head's not crewed on right yet.
