-Thomas and Gardner-Johnson seemingly genuinely don't like each other.
-If these type things aren't worked out, it can fracture a team.
-Thomas is a diva who makes 30 times as much as CGJ.
-CGJ is a tough guy who doesn't take crap.
-By all accounts it was Thomas who was in the wrong.
-They need to be locked in a private room and whatever happens happens.

Bobby Carpenter says MT almost ruined Eli Apple at OSU, would dominate him on every route and then throw the ball at him after making each catch — then would run over to DC Kerry Coombs and tell him to “recruit a DB that can guard me.”

I recall a WR from Carolina who routinely killed the Saints "Sucker Punching" a couple of times. Didn't hurt his career.

Latest news from Saints Beats Reporters;

Thomas wasn't suspended for the punch alone, he then got into a heated argument with Payton.

We've seen this movie before, if MT doesn't grow up soon he'll be on another team promising to destroy us over twitter all season.

Saw it coming years ago with his ridiculous tweets.

Lil goof thinks he’s some kind of OG. I remember people defending him saying “oh he’s just built different, the great ones do this to stay motivated.”

Bullsh*t, you better learn what greatness is by the guy throwing you into record books

I don't get all the virtue signaling in here.. Two players got scrappy and Coach heard an ear full from a very frustrated and emotional player.

That sh1t goes on in here every day LOL:confused::confused::dunce:

You're getting to be nearly as bad as Guido with your homerism and determination to look the other way when the team or a player does something wrong.

Interesting wrinkle here. The suspension makes the 2020 and 2021 financial guarantees in Michael Thomas’ contract “null and void”.

I'm thinking if the Saints are paying me this kinda of dough to play Professional Football I'm also figuring they are probably going to want me to act like a Professional.
However yielding to the Direct TV commercial "this here's New Orleans and anything goes as long as you don't disrespect the Saints" and your Teammates..

Read the bottom of the article:
“ UPDATE 12:50 p.m. ET: Contract to multiple reports, Thomas was not suspended. He was fined. This takes the voiding of guarantees out of the play. For now. Further problems could result in a suspension, and an attack on the remaining guarantees.”

Michael Thomas and Malcolm Jenkins will never be able to do anything right again to a significant portion of this forum. If he sneezes it’ll be an act of aggression that should result in his immediate release.

No Rez MT went off (imo) when they told him he was sitting another week, is going to lite a fire under this team in one week bro, offense and defense is going to put us back in the talk where it started preseason. We are a legit SB contender M J is gonna get it rite. DA needs to get his sh&t together, Payton has to quit getting cute because he’s really an ugly little elf if u ask me. Lets keep it together. I need your insight on a question I left u in the free agency headline

back in the 70’s if there were a tip ball INT on the line of scrimmage we big goons had to holler Oscar, to turn into blocking I believe you played dB in your day. Did you have a code on a tip ball after a INT
