Michael Thomas is going to become the next TO/Antonio Brown. He’s got some primadonna in him. Wonder who it was.

I know as fans we have a tendency to not criticize our own players the way we would others... But let’s have a moment here where we take our black and gold glasses off. Michael Thomas is a complete and utter child. All you need to do is follow him on social media to know that.

Thomas is becoming a headache, I used to love the toughness he brought, now he flexes after a 4 yard first down and just complains a ton.

This stuff never happened with Colston, Meachem, Moore and Henderson.

There’s a reason why everyone but Saints fans makes fun of him. Slant Boy got mad lol.

So true. I've stop following him on twitter because he's such a petulant child 95% of the time and its just annoying to see.

See how he responds but I'm not 100% against trading him at the end of the season if it continued and the option was there.

Poor Brees, you know what I mean? That guy was doubtful about coming back this year but he did anyway and for what? No fans in the stands, teammates cussing him out, his #1 WR getting a team suspension because the DB’s talked s*** to him in practice. Lord what a mess.

And yet he will win his second Lombardi and return for a third next year. Yup, poor pitiful Brees.

It's incredible how y'all assume things and turn on your own. It's really sad.

Geez! Relax. We're winning tomorrow. Payton made an example for the good of the team and lessons will be learned.

Who is this "y'all" person, and what did he "assume". The news was apparently confirmed. And that little child, Thomas, is not anybody's "own", in this forum.

You're one of the first people to always say "the players don't owe you anything" (even though fans pay their checks), but you think fans owe HIM undue respect? The blindness of your fandom is truly absurd. There is no reason in the world a grown man can't be open minded enough to call something what it is, regardless of team affiliation.

Let's hope this isn't the start of the Wide Receiver Diva Syndrome. Something isn't right with this team, but let's hope SP took this action because he's not happy with team preparation and player accountability. Suspending MT shows no one is above suspension, but anyone's guess is as good as mine.

You are not "y'all", unless you claim the title. What ever "y'all" assumed shouldn't matter to you if you are not him, or them. And what makes you think my reference to "your own" singles out Michael Thomas? Talk about assumptions, burning.

LOL!!!

Players are going to be players. Altercations have ALWAYS occurred and will continue to occur. I am grown up enough and open minded enough to understand that concept.

Chill out, dude. And I am sorry my fandom offends you. That's not MY problem.

Who Dat!!

Something isn't right with EVERY team and everyone today, Halo. There's major **** going on in the world and all these players know is the game. I know you are feeling stress. I'm feeling stress. Even those that hate me are showing stress. There's frustration everywhere right now.

Grown ups would realize that, right?

:bng:

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.

Of course you think it is pathetic.

Go for it. You were off base with all of your "assumptions" that you just posted.

Have a nice day!!

Oh, and, Who Dat!!

Unfortunately I feel Thomas may have turned into a diva a while ago.

Remember the off-season when he was arguing with Devante Parker over twitter, all because Parker said its easier to cover Mike than to get covered by Stephon Gilmore.

I remember back in 2018 vs Washington, a bunch of their players refused to even comment on MT as a person because they said "he's not even worth the words" - one of them was Josh Norman, a guy who for years physically fought with OBJ on Sundays.

Looks like our whole franchise is going down the drain, right, JP.

Oh, well. It was good while it lasted.

Yup. You hit it dead on. We need to cut him now! But, it's too late now. Our run is over.

Every WR is a diva in this league that is good. That's why it's good to get a new one every few years.

That’s a stupid reason to suspend somebody. If you don’t have fights in practice your team is soft.

No ****. That was the point I was making. It happens on EVERY team. My guess is that they wanted to sit Thomas until after the bye so why not send everyone a message. You think that a possibility, rez?
