Randy Thomas

"...The damn Pro Bowl, and [contract] escalators and bonuses, all of that does nothing for me. Give me a win, and that's better than a million bucks."

Do I even need to comment on the coolness of this statement?

I love that guy. He's tough, big, smart, and has the heart of a winner.

Regardless of what he says, the guy deserves to be in the Pro Bowl. He's probably the most consistent lineman we have.

That's a Gibbs player. Too bad this doesn't get as much publicity as the TO crap.

I just read the article MK posted and saw Thomas mentions TO in that quote:
"I hear the stuff the guys tell me [about the Pro Bowl], but I'm a humble guy," Thomas said. "I take things in stride, and if I sat back and thought about all of that my head would be blown up like a T.O. [Terrell Owens] kind of thing, you know? I'm O-line, man. We live to be dirty and live to play good. The damn Pro Bowl, and [contract] escalators and bonuses, all of that does nothing for me. Give me a win, and that's better than a million bucks."

Give me a break, I like the guy and how he plays, but he came here for because the skins offered him a phat contract.

So? Whats your point?

Apparently it's "Redskins Negativity Day" in saden1-ville:

C'mon - the guy is excited about playing football - cut him some slack. Who cares if he signed a nice deal? Rookie kickers in this league make more than most of us ever will in our lifetime. The difference is what a player's attitude is after he signs the deal.

The point is that once he got the contract he didnt feel like his job was done. Its a business to a large extent, but the special guys are the ones who play for more than a contract on Sundays. I won't ask guys to take a home town discount, but I will ask them to play their guts out where ever they land. Thomas falls into that category.

Well, it is easy to say for someone who has a few mill in the bank already. ;)

That being said I still love his attitude, he's been a rock solid lineman for us since he got here. Definitely a two thumbs up signing. :biggthump :biggthump
