Michael Thomas suing for $1 million

Rugby Saint II · 08-26-2021, 02:16 PM

I've lost interest in this Diva. If he comes back and plays that's fine. If he gets traded I'm fine with that too.

If he gets traded I'd be pissed. He's one of the best WR's in the entire league, if not the best. It isn't like he killed someone.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
