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.

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.

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

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

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

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

Who Dat!

20-0 Baby!

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

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.

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.

Great Take, and I'll add this...

Fire your personal manager, at the very least, clean house on who's advising him in his dealings, public image, daily life plan and goals...

Second, #FindJesus and #GetHumbleBeforeGod; Larry Bird talked about what the #BigMo does to pro athletes, and this looks text book...

Third, visit, get with Larry Fitzgerald; greatest receiver of his era, and more importantly, one of the elites as an NFL Pro; embrace his sage wisdom and advice...
