Thomas warns media not to ask about Facebook

Just when you thought he couldn't get any dumber. It's only your personal life if you, ya know, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!

I am not all being sarcastic when I say that maybe Thomas is thinking of pursuing public office after hockey? However, for now, stop the pucks and don't let this become a distraction for you, your teammates and the franchise.

Peace Homeslice!

He should take a page from Ken Dryden's book and wait until his career's done before going all political on everyone's ****.

If you want to know what Tim said on his facebook page, go to his facebook page. How hard is that? It was a rather simple statement and shouldn't need any further explanation........unless of course you're attempting to catch him in some kind of verbal faux pas/gotcha moment.

The rest of this bullschiit is nothing more than the ultra-liberal media (alert the dept. of redundancy dept!) in Boston harping on Thomas because he refuses to be a lemming.

Danny, Ken Dryden was a communist the day he came out of the womb. The difference in his time was two fold. One, there amount of coverage of hockey was minuscule by today's standards and two, his views were shared by most in a very liberal/socialist country, especially the government controlled media.

Who cares.....

Rule number one: When in a hole, stop digging.

...Huh? I really don't think the coverage of hockey in Montreal has ever been "minuscule", especially when said player won 6 Cups, 5 Vezinas and a Conn Smythe trophy. As for being a Communist...no. And for his views being shared in a very liberal/socialist country, with "government controlled media", i'm finding this hard to bear seeing as
a) We have a Conservative gov't, and have since 2006;
b) We have one gov't'-owned broadcaster, who despite being run by a Conservative gov't still tends to lean leftwards; and
c) This isn't your country, and therefore none of your ufking business.

Ultra Liberal media....
Communist when he came out of the womb
Very Liberal/Socialist Country. Gov't controlled media.
Let me guess...you're a.....Republican?
Funny how people complain about a biased media...when they think it's biased opposite them

Danny...you cannot talk facts, that only screws up the heads of the **** and makes the prejudice and narrowmindedness seem as stupid as we all know it is

Tim Thomas is a weird dude. He posts a curious statement on his public Facebook page that expresses a view, then flips out when the media ask him about it. If you don't want your personal views debated in the public/media then STOP GOING PUBLIC WITH THOSE VIEWS!

Well said.

The irony is that America has always had a strong tradition of a free press, they have however, never had a strong tradition of an unbiased press. From the moment they took a story about 5 people being killed in a riot and turned it into the Boston Massacre they were activists. Up until the 1960s most towns had several newspapers each with their own slant on the news. Just like we have on cable today. Nothing new under the sun.

Communist, yes.

Ultra-liberal media in Canada, yes.

Dryden played in the 70's, which by my math is way before 2006.

Tim Thomas was commenting on our government which is not in your country, which I guess makes it none of your phuqing business......but you commented anyways, no?

Is it not his responsibility to talk about hockey and only hockey when he's in uniform?

Please. Those aren't facts and your typical leftist rants are as narrow minded as they come.

Unless you are a "friend" of Tim Thomas on facebook you won't see what he said. Not as public as many would have you believe.

Tough call.
On one hand, let's face it, at the end of the day, he's a hockey player.Period.
But is also in the public eye, and when you are in that sphere, you have to realise that anything you say/write...especially in this day and age...is fodder, so you have to really be prepared to account for yourself. You can say/feel/think whatever you like, but realising that your 'celebrity" status is double sided is important. You cannot decide to "make a statement" and a rather large staement at that, (at the expense of your team mates by the way) and then decide you don't want to talk about it.

"my typical leftist rants"?
I'm a leftist because I don't blindly wrap myself in a flag screaming USA at the top of my lungs?
Get off it, seriously. And just to correct you, which I know is futile since you are certain you are always correct...I am actually a true independent. Not a disgruntled Rep. trying to pretend that I have an open mind
