If you are going to copy ESPN blogs post you should at least site the source.jake206":19vs7s2w said:KING5 TV in Seattle aired video of an altercation between free safety Earl Thomas and cornerback Tharold Simon during warm-up drills at the start of Wednesday's practice for the Seattle Seahawks.
Thomas pushed Simon before Simon threw his helmet to the ground and both players had to be restrained.
Defensive coach Marquand Manuel was tossed backwards by Thomas as Manuel and middle linebacker Bobby Wagner tried to push Thomas back away from Simon.
Cornerbacks Jeremy Lane and Byron Maxwell restrained Simon as the two players continued to yell at each other.
It was the third consecutive day that a scuffle of some sort has taken play in practice.

It was during his interview after he got drafted and he told the story about getting arrested.Maelstrom787":2hjybnei said:kpak76":2hjybnei said:Maelstrom787":2hjybnei said:I think it's a good nickname.
Just sounds like a name some troll would think up of while posting on here.
It came from our .Net chat on draft day. Anyone care to tell the story? I dont entirely remember. I believe it had to do with the dialogue from his prior arrest compared to his humble draft day interview.
Not that I entirely disagree, kpak. I just always found it more lighthearted since I was there when it was created and we were all laughing about it and such. I created my signature of Tharold that same day, as the joke/nickname was so popular in chat.
It's a great nickname and it will be his nickname for as long as he's a hawk and thereafter

He kept talking about how "humbled he was" due to being drafted and the cops giving him problems about his car stereo. Either way, I just remember him sounding like a thug, hence the name, "Humble Thug". IDC who takes the credit, that was one of the funniest interviews ever and draft day chat is always fun.
Interesting..... thank god the Seahawks think different. Ignore the fact I agree with them.hawkfan68":336n9hid said:If true, Simon is doing all he can to get released...getting thrown out of games, fighting with the best DB on the team in practice. It's not humble, it's straight up thuggish.

sorry to pick on ya bro, but this is pro football, not a monastery. These guys get into terry tate mode when it's time to work and it's not so easy to flip that on and off like a light switch. it's a different context than what most people experience in their day to day lives.
One of the fun things about getting into competitive sports is everyone pushing themselves and each other to the limit. you'll never push yourself as hard alone, that competitive drive takes everyone up a couple of notches. However tempers can flare quickly in that environment, sometimes things happen. doesn't necessarily speak to a person's character when they're off the field of play.
