Saints WR Michael Thomas and agent separate over ‘difference of opinions’

The guy has a personality.

Y'all sound like Aikman after the phone thing.

Gasping and clutching your pearls like old women.

He has done nothing but produce for the team.

I don't understand a lot of the youth culture either, but I'm not gonna worry and post a bunch of conjecture about his maturity when none of us here knows jack.

I could see Aikman and Joe Buck getting disgusted by just his shirt coming untucked. Plus he probably didn’t fill out the forms and get proper authorization to celebrate in such an undignified way!

Football fans love that kind of stuff. The NFL either doesn’t understand it’s customers — or worse, assume they’re stupid.

In branding and advertising that’s suicide.

It would be absolutely stupid to let him go. You build an offense around a guy like this. He is the player that makes inexperienced QB look better as they develop and extends the career of aging QBs. He is the guy that can keep this organization competitive during a transition period. So what if he’s a pain in the ass. He will be much more of a pain in opposing teams asses.

The Saints have no one else remotely close to the skill and talent of Thomas at the position. If another wide receiver emerges, then different story. But right now, you lose Thomas, you lose a serious amount of the offense.

A player of Mike's caliber is paramount for this offense, especially when Brees calls it a career.

It’s just a matter of generation hypocrisy. The baby boomers came up in the peace, love, and free sex hippie era. All of a sudden they are the moral majority and look down on today’s youths music and culture. Exactly the same way their parents generation looked down on their music and culture. It comes with getting old.
