He'll of a piece that wasn't spell checked and is missing words so sentences don't make sense. No wonder he loves Garth.

That was a hell of piece, Ek. Well written and exactly right about Tim's character and qualities as an athlete.

Someone pointed out the lack of reaction about Rasheed Wallace not going to the White House. Perfect example of the media's hypocrisy in their treatment of Tim.

The logical fit would have been the Avs. Tim being from CO and their having a young goaltender who could learn from his work habits. Why didn't it happen? Why were there so few takers? Because they know it would be a distraction to bring him in as the US media would be constantly focusing on his politics.

Amen! Hypocrisy by the "lame stream press" is spot on! I hope Tim does well, then retires on his own terms, and shoves it up the a** off his detractors. What he has done with his career from start to finish should be a role model to all, instead of focusing on his personal politics. He has a RIGHT to do what he wants, and follow his his own personal truths! You go Tim!!

thomas was very vocal about his teaparty views and why he's afraid of the federal gov't. he also was very vocal about supporting the owner of that chicken chain who's owner hates gay people. all of this on top of the whitehouse is why he got a lot of grief. he needs to keep his mouth shut

he also has an obligation to his team and employers. andrew ference was the biggest tree hugging liberal in boston sports but no one cared because from 9-5 he was all about the bruins.

That "chicken chain" owner doesn't hate homosexuals! Get your facts straight before making statements. As for his political views, he is entitled. Why is it when someone in sports is asked a question, answers honestly, and then is persecuted if the response isn't what the "lame stream media" with their own agenda prefers. Let the man go! All his me first attitude did, was win the Vezina, Conn Smythe, and a STANLEY CUP!!!

It was a distraction - pure and simple. There is a great line from Band of Brothers - you salute the rank, not the person. He should have been there.

I've noticed that a lot of people seem to be confused about this. Having the "right" to do something doesn't mean you're exempt from criticism. By not being an adult and going to the white house event he was being a bit of a jackass and hurting the team a bit. Does Tim Thomas have the right to be a jackass? Absolutely! Does that mean that no one else is allowed to have an opinion about it? Nope. "Rights" work both ways.

sorry glenn beck. please enlighten me on the bloded.

and for what he did in Boston I'll always remember fondly. the way he left and the way he put himself first, before the team, i'll always be disappointed in.

and i'm not talking about answers to media. i'm talking about what he volunteered, without prompting, through social media.

That chicken chain owner just vocally spoke out against gay marriage and basically said all gay ppl are defying "god" and that they're basically going to cause the rapture.

He's a loony.

Well my parents are dumb as $hit....so I definitely get some it it from them. And then this moron dropped a load in my butt and that's where the rest came from...
- bjm1717


Spell check on iPhones sometimes do that. His point is what mattered most. I find it interesting that you chastise others for missing punctuation and/or spell check, then do it yourself, reference "it it" and missing commas, amongst other grammatical errors! As for your comment about dropping a load in your butt, that's your own personal truth, and you are entitled!
