Where do I start with this bull crap post? I'll just take it point by point.

First, I know I'm not "y'all". And the point is that no one is "y'all" because no one assumed anything. I saw this story while I was on another sports site, and then when I came here a while ago, I saw that people were just talking about what had already been confirmed by the team. And then later, it was reported who the "altercation" was with. Nobody "assumed" anything. So you're calling out people for no actual reason.

Second, I don't have to be "concerned" about anything in order to recognize that your comment was ignorant, and tell you as much.

Third, I know you singled out Thomas, because the thread is about Thomas. And it also wouldn't matter if you were talking about anyone else on the team. NONE of them classify as anyone's "own" in this forum. And no one owes a player respect, if that respect is not earned. Talk about reaching for a "gotcha", 'Guido.

Fourth, "players are going to be players" does not apply to someone with a history of childish behavior. This may be the first time, that we're aware of, that he has punched a teammate, but his behavior on social media is well-documented. And altercations typically involve shoving and cursing. A punch is not something that happens very often. And when it does, it's not something you brush off as "ah, boys will be boys, ya know?". There's a reason he got suspended.

And as for "two sides to every story"... Why don't you try to use a little simple logic? Thomas was suspended. The other player was not. There were witnesses who saw what happened. And what they saw obviously only warranted that Thomas be punished. So much for that argument, huh?


Lastly, I'm not "offended" by your fandom. I think you are an absurdly dishonest person when it comes to your fandom. You throw all logic and common sense out the window to protect your precious team. And I just think it's pathetic.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
