WTF. He trolling? I sure hope not he's a hell of a player.

Thomas with a broken bone in leg

edit: it's a cracked tibia

Wow, hope he doesn't retire... So many of these greats today are retiring so early. Kinda depressing really

Seems to be overreacting to a situation he hasn't really been in before.

Karma. Hits Gronk and knocks him out for the year. Now Thomas is out. I'm not saying it was a dirty hit on Gronk, but when you hit hard and risk your own body in the process, fate has a way of making the bill come due.

It was an excellent CLEAN hit on Gronk. Just because a Patriots player gets laid out dont make it a dirty hit.

Best wishes to him. A big loss for the game if he was seriously thinking of walking away.

How was that a penalty on Cam? Huh?

Meanwhile Wright gets away with body slamming Ginn.

I really wonder if those that keep saying Thomas got away with a dirty hit actually played football.

Opinions on this week:

- Tampa Bay Bucs: Playoffs?
- Fire Ron Rivera: He has lost it.
- Jeff Fisher: He is who I thought he was...
- Brady: 201!

Thomas is the engine that propels Seattle's D. His loss is monumental.

Thomas is the real reason that defense is good and creates turnovers! Without him they would suck against the pass defense.

Seattle was the one team/defense I thought the Pats could struggle against without Gronk in a potential SuperBowl matchup. Now that they no longer have Thomas, the playing field is level. E.T is definitely a major reason why that defense is so great.

Nobody in this thread said Earl Thomas' hit was dirty.

He literally said this was karma for his hit on Gronk. Why would it be karma? How the hell is it karma for actually playing football like it's supposed to be played? Where was Browner's karma for the hit on Welker? Or the hit against the SD receiver? When people start out a sentence saying, "I'm not saying.." they are doing just that.

With the Seahawks playing the Packers next, it shouldn't take long to see the impact of the Thomas injury.

It was an idiotic thing to say.....wish karma against Goodell, the Colts, and ESPN. No need to wish for ill-will against individual players

I never said it was negative karma. I was simply suggesting that the cumulative effect of Thomas hitting so hard against players, particularly of late, had the net result of him also getting injured. I made a point of saying I wasn't implying it was a dirty hit against Gronk a few weeks back. People read into things what they want, but I never said Thomas deserved to get injured.

By karma, I was referencing the sense "that everything that happens to us is ultimately due to our own influence—whether intentional or not—and that coincidence is in reality an illusion" (An Explanation of Karma).

It was karma that he gets carted off after some vicious hits because his own desire to hit so hard resulted in a similar result for him. He wasn't dirty, but when you put your own body in harm's way, this is what happens.

It is worth learning what karma is (good, bad, neutral) before making someone else seem like a jerk because one didn't understand the different connotations of a term.
