Redskins Insider - WR Thomas Looks to Turn It Around (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/wr-thomas-looks-to-turn-it-aro.html?wprss=redskinsinsider)
Personal reasons sounds so cryptic...he was just at Michigan State helping out his former teammates for their pro day
Eh, it doesn't bother me much at all because he's back at the park and working out with JC.. If he's gone for all spring then I would be concerned.. DT should be allowed to have break from football for some times, including all players..
Beside helping his friends out for their pro days, shows me something - he has good character..

I can't help but a detect a subtle note of skepticism in the title of that blogpost by Terl.
In fairness he is saying the right things. My advice for him is to run hills. That's what Jerry Rice and Darryl Green did. Go to the landfill next to I-66 and run up and down that hill.

Every interview I hear from any of the Skins, it just seems like everyone is one the same page. I am really excited, (insert offseason SB comments here). I am sure most analysts will put us last, but my hope is springing anew!!

Go to the landfill next to I-66 and run up and down that hill.I feel like I've mentioned this before, but I grew up 5 minutes from this (http://www.ahpd.org/NKGC/geninfo.htm) hill:
Walter Payton's Hill In the 1970s and 80s, the landfill site on Kennicott (now Nickol Knoll) was used by Chicago Bear football legend, Walter Payton, for training. A resident of Arlington Heights at that time, Payton ran the 92-foot elevation sometimes 20 times a day, often accompanied by friends and teammates. The site was know as "Payton's Hill" long after the football player was no longer training.
I'd rather hear him say the right things than the wrong things... but all that really matters is what he says with his play on the field.

Season isn't over yet, but it shows we have some lazy bastards for our WR corp. We want to nail these AIG guys for taking ungodly large retension bonuses for running it(AIG) into the ground and not too many folks bitch about these guys making ridiculous amounts for playing a game most of us played for hours just for fun as kids. You would at least expect maximum effort to try and win and get in shape, etc. What pisses me off is that our guys really do need to get serious ASAP if they do want to win. It isn't like they are all pros. The attitude alone tells me we will have another subpar effort

Seriously. We should start a thread that involves twisting every subject imaginable into something political. That way we could have a waste basket for this kind of stuff. Sort of like the Toxic Asset Plan. It could be a "Bad Bank" thread if you will. :)
