Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
I don't know why everybody is rolling on him. All that matters in context is that he gets along with Coach and performs when he's on the field. **** happens with injuries, and our team doesn't exactly have an exemplary record with it's players on the subject.
A few good games and everybody will forgive him or stop dwelling on the man's personal life. |

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
Truth, and sad. Social Dilemma is something he (and everyone else) should watch. He's not doing anything his peers aren't doing. Personally, I don't understand walking around looking in other people's windows (social media), even if they want me to. Especially if they want me to, cause that's weird. We can be sad for the world, but picking on one guy because he's on our team...
Meh. Let him be. |

He's a football player. The Saints chose to pay the man. He wasn't voted into his role on the football team by us. I could feel violated (potentially) if that were the case. In this case I do not. Just me. E'rybody carry on with ya'll bad selves.... |

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
Once again, who cares? As saintfan said, he's just a football player. If he helps us win, great! Anything else, means nothing to me.

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million
People care when he’s not available to help his team...especially for the size of the contract he has. He should be a team leader. He is not acting like one. 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.

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.... |

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 ![]() |
C'mon Man...
