Apparently Earl Thomas Was Late To Meetings With The Ravens Because He Had To Get His Car Washed

Out of all the reasons mentioned in that video of why the Ravens decided to cut Earl Thomas, taking his car to get washed has to be the most forgivable, right? If you blow a coverage in the red zone, that hurts the team's performance. If you get into a fight with a teammate, that can lead to injury, or during 2020, potentially infection of a virus which hurts the team's performance. But being a little bit late to a meeting because you had to get your car washed is completely understandable.

There's nothing worse than having a chore hanging over your head while at work. Wearing your emergency clothes because the hamper is full or knowing you are returning home to a sink full of dishes can stick in your brain like that one click of the mouse sticks in your Suggested feed on PornHub. Plus you ever hear the phrase "Look good, feel good, play good"? You know who said that? My coworker and Hall of Fame corner Deion Sanders who knows a thing or two about playing great in the secondary. The car you drive in public is just as important to your appearance as your clothes or any accessories like a hat or watch that you may be wearing. I drive a minivan and carry myself like a minivan owner. Meanwhile I'm sure Earl Thomas' car costs more than I make in a year and it being dirty meant Earl's play was going to suffer, which in turn would meant the team would suffer. Earl trying to resolve this in the middle of practice instead of after practice makes him the ultimate Team First guy and the exact kind of player Jerry Jones should sign to a big fat lucrative contract.
