What do you mean? He's been at every home game as far as I know. Injured players commonly don't travel to road game.

Lattimore made the trip to San Fran & on a couple of occasions, spotted him talking X's and O's with coach Sterling Moore.

He's so close to returning he should be able to travel. Not sure that Thomas wasn't there, as well, but it hasn't been long since the surgery on the toe. The team makes the call on who travels and who doesn't.

Edit: Given he tweeted during the game about the game he had to have been watching from home.

Out of the 26k, which ones were worth a ****?

I'd venture to guess that every one of them were better at what they did than any of us.

In the realm of fandom, I understand most fans have a "what have you done for me lately" mentality. Hence all the hate a few have here for MT based on this frame of thought instead of looking at things objectively. Thomas showed in the first 2 games he worked hard to get back where he should be. He more than earned his latest contract. For anyone interested, there are some very informative videos out there put out by physicians on how serious his latest injury is due to how he plays the game. I don't expect a couple of posters to do something logical here though.

I did not know that Guido. Thank you for keeping me straight. Why is that, do they charge them for the ticket? Nonetheless, his attitude doesn't strike me as a team player anymore. I've been patient and my patience is worn out. Produce or collect a check somewhere else.

I haven't seen anything that would indicate he is any less of a team player than he has ever been. I know his teammates really like him.
