Michael Thomas will miss Week 5 matchup with Chargers due to disciplinary issue

From what I read, MT punched CJG when he wasn't looking. That's not a fight, that's an ambush.

Any player who ambushes a teammate should sit whether convenient or not.

Curious as to where you read that.

From what I’ve heard it was indeed a sucker punch and not a a skirmish after a practice rep like people are picturing. I don’t know what exactly lead to it, but teammates are really pi$$ed at Mike right now.

It's not like I don't believe you, Chris, but I haven't seen where it was a "sucker punch". I saw a tweet where someone said they bet it was a "sucker punch", but just looking for something verifiable. Where did you hear it and what was their source. Just looking for the truth.

That said, as long as Thomas helps us win he can sucker punch Mother Theresa.

This is all I can find after an hour searching ...

I liked Steve Smith until he sucker punched a teammate who was kneeling down. I lost all respect for him at that moment.

-Thomas is a supremely talented guy who has and does work as hard as anyone at his craft.
-Thomas is extremely blessed to have Payton as his coach and Brees as his QB.
-A NFL locker room has 53 alpha's in it not counting the coaches.
-As fans, we have no clue what goes on in a locker room or on a practice field.
-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.

WTF does that have to do with anything?

Gardner-Johnson would kick MT's arse!
