The problem I have with how Michael Thomas is that he should have talked with his friend in private before raking him over the coals. This topic is personal to Drew and Thomas did not show him any respect when he called him out. It was actually, deeply disrespectful.

Did you read above what he said? What part of that was "raking him over the coals", Rugs? Thomas only made two comments in reference to the whole thing.

"He don’t know no better." <--- That's telling others that he believed Brees didn't understand the issue. That's actually defending Brees who had already received flack from others by that time including Malcolm Jenkins.

"We don’t care if you don’t agree and whoever else how about that." <--- This was not directed at Brees directly but at others who had commented on the subject. The lack of correct punctuation makes it hard to understand. To make it more clear, "We don’t care if you don’t agree, and whoever else (doesn't agree). How about that?"

To the best of my knowledge that's all that Thomas ever said that could be tied to Brees' interview answer. This was so blown out of proportion. I believe that's what Big_L was trying to point out earlier in this thread. People were blasting Thomas over things they thought he said without ever even knowing what he did, or more precisely didn't say.

I stand corrected! Drew Brees said "We still have a long way to go. But, I think what you do by standing there and showing respect to the flag with your hand over your heart, is it shows unity. It shows that we are all in this together, we can all do better and we are part of the solution."

Thomas did say "he don't know no better. And We don't care if you don't agree and whoever else agree about that."

Personally, I like to settle my differences in private. Away from the public eye and misconceptions. Let me clarify that I don't really care what Michael Thomas thinks. He doesn't care what Drew or I think. So, that's only fair.
