Forgettng Thomas

LT Joe Thomas of the Cleveland Browns is probably headed to the Hall of Fame, but his career has many contradictions. After being the third overall pick in the 2007, Thomas has not only played in every game of his career, but he has never missed a snap.

At the same time, the Browns have never had a winning season during his tenure or made the playoffs. He has been selected to ten straight Pro Bowls, earned a lot of money, but will probably never be on a championship team.

In a recent interview, he indicated that he was already suffering some memory loss. He seem to shrug it off as part of playing the game or just an occupational hazard.

His attitude may come back to haunt him twenty years from now. He might be one of those players who has a bad time after retirement.

Nobody knows what will happen to anyone. It's not a good sign when you admit to memory loss at 32.
