Thomas and Brees did the same. Garner-Johnson, the player that provoked him in practice, and Thomas have also shown clear signs that they too are close. They even called each other "twin", which rezburna pointed out is extremely high praise that isn't just thrown out there casually.

Also, Payton was already seriously considering retirement well before the Kamara issue. Jay Glazer, Payton's close friend, said that Payton was showing signs wanting to shut it down prior to the 2020 season.

Why is it so hard to understand that most people do not hold onto minor differences like that? It is basic human nature to forgive and forget.
Just cause you have your lips pressed to Thomas’s rear doesn’t mean people on the team do. It’s called putting the best face on things and trying to work together despite a difficult situation. It behooves nobody to let their true feelings show. Thomas won’t help his cause by acting more like a jerk, especially when he is now maybe the third (or 4th if OBJ is signed) best WR on the team. Allen isn’t going to risk showing how disappointed he is in his “star”WR who he is trying to motivate to get on the field and possibly trade eventually. Payton is auditioning for future jobs and isn’t going to make himself look bad by expressing his true feelings and bad mouthing an ex player of his. And likewise Brees isn’t going to further vent his frustrations…he knows it’s a losing battle on the pro-left social media world and won’t help his reputation after his perceived failed stint in broadcasting.

Human nature to forgive and forget? Yeah I guess that’s why Hakeem Nicks is just dying to resign with the Saints 🙄. Guess that’s also why Kamara and his crew beat the crap out of a guy…because they were so forgiving and forgetful of his actions.

Point is neither one of us knows anything about how other people feel about a situation. You saying others have let it go is no more valid than me saying they’ve let it fester.

You think you know, but you don’t know...and you never will! Coach Jim Mora

Hakeem Nicks? The former Giants and Colts WR? Perhaps you are alluding to Akiem Hicks. A perfect example of what I was pointing out! Thanks!

Akiem Hicks finally burying the hatchet with the Saints

“Do I appreciate how I was cast aside?” Hicks told Nathan Smith for ChicagoBears.com. “I wasn’t good enough to play for that team? No, I don’t appreciate those things. You never forget, but you can’t carry hate in your heart, you know what I’m saying? I would also say that, man, you just appreciate those moments. I wouldn’t say it loses its luster.”

But now that he’s had time away from the organization and reflected on the lifelong friendships he made there, he’s ready to approach Sunday’s matchup as if it were any other.
And it's not me that's simply saying they have let it go. They have demonstrated that. You are the one claiming to know what they are feeling without any support. That's on you, my friend.



And claiming that Michael Thomas is the 3rd or 4th best WR on the roster?

It looks like California hills in the background. I know that Dennis Allen went to California to spend some time with Thomas back before OTA's.

Re: Michael Thomas Progress

I accept your concession on being a hypocrite. Again, you have problems with other users besides me Guido. I’m not the common thread.

Funny how as soon as SF leaves he goes right back to being a little ***** . SF’s posts may have been annoying but Guido was on his best behavior. It showed the entire board that Guido possesses the ability to be somewhat civil but chooses not to because he enjoys the attention.

Re: Michael Thomas Progress

One example of Guido's attitude in this thread:

In post #130 he says, "I have had enough of you and your constant need to take a contrary opinion and start an argument over anything I mention."

That's blatantly false. In post #115 I gave my thoughts on an article you posted. No argument, it was an honest interaction. Also in post #96 I make a positive comment about Thomas in response to a post you made. No arguments or attacks. Two quick examples in this one thread, Yet you twistedly think I am always attacking you. Thats called playing the victim.

Most of the stuff you post I leave alone.

You think you know, but you don’t know...and you never will! Coach Jim Mora

Re: Michael Thomas Progress

Nice to see that Thomas and Olave are grinding away instead of being on "vacay".
