- Earl Thomas sits down with Josina Anderson to talk about his time in Seattle, the 2014 Super Bowl and his ongoing drama with coach Pete Carroll. During a Week 4 matchup vs. the Arizona Cardinals, the Seahawks safety showed Carroll the middle finger as he was being carted off the field with a broken leg. Thomas now tells Josina that he doesn’t regret the action and confirms that the two haven’t spoken since. Now with the Baltimore Ravens, Thomas talks about his new team and his plans with the Ravens moving forward.

People don’t realize that after that super bowl loss to the patriots where they decided not to give the ball to Marshawn the Seahawks front office lost a lot of trust and respect from the key players
Well duh. You have a tank called beast mode and you choose to throw it at the 1-5 yard line just to give Russ the newspaper glory
Drug Peclo I think he means the players lost respect from the front office
Logan Par you’re an idiot
People also dont realize that NFL is listed under "sports entertainment" the same as WWe wrestling...so they can rig who wins every game all year long if they want...deerrrrrrrrp
No people does realize it dumbass .... People are still saying they should’ve ran Marshawn
If they only just ran the ball nun of this would’ve happened lol...🤦🏾♂️
You just don’t realize how right you are
Absolute Collateral damage. It wrecked the team.
Ur wrong, lynch did not have a good success percentage at all running it at the 1.
@@dzillahawk I'd put money on Lynch & Co. in that situation anytime.
Sometimes trying to be smart isn't.
@@pbau7769 hindsight is 20/20 dumbass
Earl may not have wanted to practice... but I never saw the man ever dogging it on the field. He was balls out every single play, every game. Nobody worked harder than Earl on game day, even when he was unhappy.
I mean I can't say I blame him for not wanting to practice either tbh, Seattle wasn't paying him. Why practice for a team that's not even gonna pay the man. I wouldn't have either to be honest
He was being paid, just not what he wanted to be paid. His hold out was for pretty legitimate reasons though in my opinion. He saw what had happened to other team mates that got injured in Seattle and didn't what to be a victim of the same circumstance due to injury. He was looking for a contract that offered guaranteed money that would take care of his family if he got a career ending injury while giving the team everything he had on the field.
Oooohhhhh okay thank you for clearing that up. I just thought they wasn't paying him period. Still a valid reason in my opinion to hold out on practice. I can't say I blame him in all honesty.
Instead of these huge contracts with just guaranteed money for the years that they play, I'm waiting for players to test out structuring Contracts that are guaranteed high end livable wages for life. Nothing extreme but like 250 thousand for 50 years with performance bonus's for the years they play. Plus any of these guys that are really big, they brand themselves and make as much or more in endorsement deals anyway. Why not guarantee your entire future?
Because they want all their money now, or in a relatively short amount of time. That's exactly why Bryce Harper didn't re-sign with the Nationals. He was offered more money too. Went to Philly for less because he would get all the money faster.
Earl kept it real.. He owned that middle finger lol
Pac Meez he kept it 50 pct ... Seahawks don’t need him
@@kb5924 You mean he doesnt need them. He kept 1000!!!!
@@kb5924 LOL I got 7 seasons of proof that said otherwise, bitches aint loyal, that's all it is.
yoda kazam I disagree
yoda kazam huh? Do you know who the fuck Earl Thomas is ?
Is It Me Or Does He Sound Like Future
Prince Ty lol for real 😂
The real reason they didn't wanna pay him. Rus was tired of hearing Future's voice all the time.
Donnie Douglas lol
Deadasssssss
He sounds like present
Best safety in the league man had 3 interceptions by week 4 💯
legion of 1 man boom eh def not an ensemble cast
@@Zenigundam but yeah typical sports fan highlights individual efforts in a team sport as if qb rushing and their secondary doesnt yield results just one man duh
@@Homelander_EJ 😭😭😂😂
@@Zenigundam boy if you don't shut yo soft ass up.
Zenigundam doubt there’s many coaches that can take any of they players in a fight lol
After they didn't give the ball to beast mode in the Superbowl things never been the same with Seattle Pete Carroll wasn't looked at the same
When a coach builds a legacy with a QB it can make their entire legacy. That just doesn't happen with running backs anymore
Russell said he would throw it to dude again. I'm sure the defense said fuck him after that.
@@zacharyrogers1071 fuck a legacy I'm tryna win. If you win your legacy is set... RUN THE DAMN BALL
Charlie G I’ve been saying the same thing.
Charlie G Pete Carroll got them to their first Super Bowl win so I don't think they lost faith in em 😂
Never expected Earl’s voice to be so deep lol
Lol right..his shits hella high in the games
He kinda sound like lil yachty
I thought it would be a lot higher
Like average dudes sort of voice
Wussup with the intense music in the background? 🤣
Ivory Powell 😭😭💀😂😂😂

😭😭😭😭
Ivory Powell lol
This is beans again this is beans again boom boom boom those beans beans beans this is beans again
were still calling it “the dirty bird” in 2019???
well she look like shes somewhere in her 40's pushing 50
Elroy Jetson she still fine tho
Air Bacon meh
🥴
Nooo
I love how he just explained his position so clear and concise. Great interview
If he would of went to KC that team would of been a big threat
jgaka27 it’s fine. Tyrann Mathieu might be even better
@@saumilsharma2079 he ain't better. He's damn good, but Earl will be a HoF one day.
The Ravens are threat honestly speaking!
@@noblesalaam2365 their defense won't be as good. Zedarious Smith was supposed to replace terell suggs when he retired. But, they both left. Zedarious led the team in sacks, and suggs was a great locker room guy. 2 huge losses that weren't replaced. CJ Moseley, although overrated, was still a very good linebacker. They didn't replace him either. They are a team based off their D, of which will be good at best this year. Not great
@@paoutdoorsman3071 Hater
I love the honesty of these players post trades because it needs to be heard how these coaches and front office people are praised in the general public’s eyes by their human and business first thinking as well when it comes to lack of loyalty
loyalty to a player who literally ran into an opposing teams locker room and told Jason Garrett to "come get me" after beating the cowboys? he also WAS the highest paid safety in the league history when he signed his extension, so he was still getting paid even if a couple players had passed him up.
Did Earl Thomas ever get fined by the league for that Hawaiian Peace Sign?
damn
Dion R Yes
Imagine having to pay for a brand new car and the dealer tell you that this is the equivalent to flipping the bird. The things PEOPLE justify.
Dion R yea
Yeah but Pete Carroll paid the fine
i’m here after he blocked for derrick Henrey
They didn’t treat Rod right , they didn’t treat weddle right , they didn’t treat Earl right... keep sending us your safeties
Didn't Treat Weddle Right? Tf he missed so many tackles had 0 ints he's ass
BIRD FLOCK Lmao you gotta be trolling about Eric Weddle being trash but he was voted as one of the best players in the league by the PLAYERS 🙃🙃🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️. And how many pro bowls has he been to?
BIRD FLOCK he’s talking about the chargers not paying him, not the ravens, plus ints don’t define a db’s value
Jefferson was underappreciated also.
@@matthewgoode9959 100
Big Hawks fan and I’ll always appreciate what Earl did for the team one of the best to ever play here
Glad we got Earl on the Ravens, very excited to see him on the field help leading our defense. Always had tremendous respect for the legion of boom in Seattle and Earl was one of the biggest pieces of what they had there.
its past
@Josh Cummings salty ass hawks fan 🤣🤣🤣
Earl was the main LOB member he made everything work. Coming from a Hawks fan it was hard to see him go but u Ravens got an elite player for at least 4-5 years.
@@sohorny4myself that didn't age well
@@ihatestupidfortnitekids8338 nope it didnt lol
The legion of boom fell apart because of the cap space. Before all the big name signings. Seattle was deep in roster. Mebane, Clinton mcdonald, chris Clemons, browner, Bruce Irving, zach miller, Walter Thurmond, Maxwell, red Bryant and so much more. Seattle legion of boom didnt have to play every down and they stayed fresh. Once wilson, wagner, thomas, sherman, kam, Bennett and avril and baldwin and kj all got paid withinn2 seasons. They had to cut down on all the other guys to make room for cap space. The team was never the same after the superbowl loss to Patriots but although that may had created trust issues between management and players. It wasn't the sole reason why legion of boom collapse
its not that deep bro , it was because they did not run the ball with Lynch
A lot of players lost respect for Pete after he decided to pass instead of giving Beast Mode the ball on the 1 yard line and gave up a superbowl.
We still got love for ya in Seattle E.T.
4 life...He was the best player on our team
@@one7deep7savage7 yeah.. But if he was to be in seattle now then no
@@blaze411 well ya hes an
aging injury prone safety now...but he put in mad work for us and one of the main reasons we got to the superbowl
@@one7deep7savage7 yeah i know im a seattle fan i love earl
No we don’t
Because Eric Berry was injured and out of football for so long Earl Thomas has been the lone best safety in the NFL for the past decade.
Welcome Eddie Jackson.
Kam Chancellor was hit sticking mfs.
Him and berry ain’t even close
Jamal Adams, Derwin James, Harrison Smith, Devin Mccourty. There's a lot of elite safeties but he is top tier
Frankie Y oh my bad Devin Mccourty and Earl Thomas have been the best safeties in the league this past decade. Although I’m not sure when mccourty made the switch from corner to safety
I wonder if Earl realized while filming this that 2019 would be his last year in the NFL. He still had the talent to play, but his reputation as a bad teammate would prevent him from signing with a new team after he was cut from Baltimore.
This dude is so straightforward it’s refreshing doesn’t dodge questions, or say too much while not saying anything
Most happiest...thanks for the high quality reporter ESPN.
I remember him running up to Jason Garrett before his leg got broken 👀
Thafreshway Wayfresh fr should’ve been a cowboy
Jerry Jones wasnt willing to fork over a 1st Round pick for Earl, he wanted Amari instead.
Christopher Robin tf you talking bout😂 they don’t need a broken dog trying to keep up with their studded D
Pummba hahahaha
Demetrius Brown back in the day😭😭😭
Love this guy, may blessings go his way.
"...people always misunderstand you if they don't know you"
Next level shit
Edit:typo
unlimitedpubes that’s next level? Rather obvious.
Ok I’m glad that’s cleared up. Nice to know he still has love for the fans and his teammates. We still love u earl 💙💚
One Year Later: Pro Bowl Safety Earl Thomas has officially been released by the Baltimore Ravens!!!! Following a fight with teammate Chuck Clark at practice on Friday, Thomas was sent home and he's now been cut by the Ravens for conduct detrimental to the team!!!! His Run with the Ravens didn’t last!!!! Sad 😔 situation the best Safeties in the NFL the Cowboys aren’t interested in him and this might be the end of his incredible career!!!!
Him & Patrick Peterson are my 2 favorite players. 2 best db's of the 2010's 🔥🔥
Roxann Athey safety is a db...
Earl isn’t a top 5 db... he good but not that good
Pummba what the fuck r u smoking? Earl Thomas has been the best safety the NFL has seen since 2010
@@posthauski debatable nick Collins was hella good before he was forced to retire
Also I think Charles Woodson was better than Pat Peterson
Thank you for all the great years Earl. Best of luck in Baltimore!
Seattle fans ALWAYS appreciated Earl man...
“They will love you one minute and hate you the next” that is so true about some coaches even in high school! Makes me sick.
I love this man! when he was drafted he was watched and then he became the heart and soul of the LOB. Such a hard hitting safety. When he got his leg broke and he flipped the bird i knew he was going to be gone from the hawks. It had been in the news he was looking for a new contract and then broken leg. horrible. Ravens are looking good and now maybe he can help them also. Good luck to you man.
IDGAF!!!! ET3 YOU ARE THE MAN AND WILL FOREVER BE A HAWKS LEGEND. LOB/AREA29 BABY‼️
Love and respect these guys. Hes right at the end of the day its business.
This breaks my heart. To me he'll always be a Hawk and one of the greatest ones as well. He has given so much to the team and was part of one of the best defenses of all time, in the all offense era no less, but the way the LOB was dismantled hard to watch. Now, it looks like the last thing he'd want would to be associated with is the Hawks.
Yeah, breaks all of our hearts. As a USC fan I became a Seahawks fan after Pete left USC. I do think Pete is a great coach, but choosing Russell over the legion of boom was not his brightest idea. He may not have seen it that way, but apparently the LOB did. SEEING THEM LEAVE ONE AFTER ANOTHER WAS CRUSHING!
Alot of those offenses was overrated
Pete is a special type of coach. His great no one can denied that. Every where he goes he wins. But also everywhere he goes there is drama.
Agree. When the business get in between the attachment, brotherhood, bond, it doesn't end well. Same trend in music bands in any genre of music.
Damn she really tryna be a legit interviewer and she says most happiest haha woooww
He’s a great interview.
*_"Sometimes I didn't want to practice, especially (since) they weren't paying me."_* 🤔 Dude.
Tosh T he’s right
Yo all facts bro omg
Tristan Blue Except he was getting paid....
Lol have you ever played a sport? Nobody wants to practice, you just have to
@PROJECTTROJANWARRIOR ur team is a dick
"They'll love you one minute, and then hate you the next." You mean they'll love you till you flick 'em off🤣🤣
I love Earl Thomas #29💚💚
Man I love that dude. I'll support you always Earl. Thanks you for going hard coast to coast.
“He don’t care he got The Honey Badger” YESIRRRR 😂😂😂
Lol ESPN and the interviewer says most happiest 😂😂😂
As a patriots fan the 2014-15 Seahawks and the legion a boom were a force to be reckoned wit
i love how this woman interviewing him....no fake laughing..she clearly is paying attention to his responses and devising off the dome great follow up enquiries..TOP JOB .. take note other women and some duds too
"The dirty bird" 🤣
🤣
🤣
That only apply to the falcons but I get what you're saying tho
Area 29 was the lynchpin to the LOB. Single high coverage allowed Kam to bam 💥 and Sherm to do his thing. The years leading up to the SB, it was evident something special was cookin
Love you E. Seahawk Legend!
Every Seattle fan knows the name Earl Thomas. Much love then and now.
This sux. Such a talented and fun group of players in Seattle. Losing that superbowl in that fashion ruined the team. Hope we can find that energy again. Go Hawks!!
I'm glad he plays for Baltimore. He is a beast, great player.
lol
you think that now? lol
Lol now hes goin to prison..cte bet it
I’m so glad we got this guy man
That interviewer is gold bro.
Big Seahawk fan this one hurted
503 Johnson Hurt*
How do you idiots like this 11 times when this nigga literally just said "hurted" smfh
Earl talking about hate but he literally threw hands with his own teammate,
Always will love Earl and LOB, WISH HIM WELL
IT IS NOVEMBER-3-2020.... Pete carrol and the seahawks won this feud. Seattle is a top 5 team and anticipated to make it tot he superbowl.I loved ET when he was a seahawk.... where is he now?
Not to mention they now got Jamal adams
Ravens vs Seahawks will be lit this season.
Andy Tran nah
Ravens beat the Seahawks badly tho
He doesn't want to practice with the team and rushed himself back from injury, then broke it in the same spot. I wouldn't invest in him as a player.
Caught a pic in his first game at Baltimore
It be like that sometimes
Love ETIII but Seahawks management are genius s with a player stock and value.I trust their decision.All the best with Ravens you served the Hawks well during your tenure.
and that is why Seahawks will never win another superbowl, nor will the Mariners ever win, let's not talk about basketball. Your only true superstars are the Seattle WNBA Storm, oh yeah and soccer. smh you think you're smart, you want the players to be loyal toyou, tak that bs game, but hmm you're never loyal back. There are teams out there that are and it shows!
CHA RED talk to me in February of this year. Super Bowl 54 here we come
First off I'm talking smack to liven up things. I liked the Seahawks when they have a defense. Sorry to say dude right now they don't. Doesn't mean the youngins on the team can't Excel. I like the players all the rest like gm etc suck
"I didn't want to practice" Same reasons the ravens let him go and he is at home watching games. Pete was smart to let him walk. The became cancerous with a giant ego. Nobody playoff team wants that.
He didn't say that.. Pete Carroll played himself in 2014 & Seattle havent been shit since
He’s a kinesthetic learner. What I appreciate about Earl is that he knows himself and takes ownership of his actions.
Respect. Go Thomas.
Fax I forgot he went to the ravens
I clicked on the video like "oh shit i remember him" 😂
It’s truly incredible how the Patriots don’t just beat their opponents they crush the entire franchise and watch them crumble in the following years
yeah cause that’s definitely what happened...the coaches decision reflects how good the opposing team is🤦🏽♂️
carmelitoo _ what? What are you even trying to say?
lamakicker69 the patriots didn’t do any of that to the seahawks😂 it was the coaches decision that lost them the game. Almost everyone knows that
carmelitoo _ Except “everyone” also don’t understand football other than the basics. The Seahawks didn’t throw that game the Pats beat them because they were true better team. Throwing the ball there isn’t a bad decision it just seems like a bad decision because you have hindsight. If you actually know the facts you’d know the Pats beat the Seahawks because they outplayed them, not because the Seahawks threw it away. Learn the game.
Bruh when she said "the dirty bird" 😂😂😂
Most happiest
Seattle will always love u
Sound like he bout to cry
I'm sure ET3 will never read this, but I want him to know that there are a whole lot of people in Seattle that still love you and wish the best for mans. Not just one of the greatest Seahawks of all time, but one of the best to ever do it period!
We got respect for our ravens we gone let u take ya time and get your confidence back 💪🏾
Earl is a great player and I feel bad about how Seattle did him , he deserved better he gave that team his all
Tyrann Mathieu, Eric Berry, and Earl Thomas. Geeeeeez 🤦🏾♂️
He’s referring to the DB class
@Anthony Shepherd wow so you had cuss at him to say something 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 like stfu

Great pic of some other player 43 secs in espn.....
Jeff Thomas he’s in the back but that is weird
I don't think Earl Thomas is going to have good season, the dude broke his leg at 29 years old.
He got a pick his first game back with the Ravens🤷♂️
He’s broke his leg twice 2 years in a row. 3rd times the charm, he’ll ball out but by mid season he’ll be out for the rest of the year, he’s been injured every year for the past 4 years. Legs and shoulder injuries.
Why’d he do my man Pete like that 😂
Mark October 20, 2019 on your schedule (Ravens vs Seahawks). Betcha that was the first game that Earl Thomas circled. No love lost between ET and Peter Carroll. Someone you know is going to be extremely motivated to get back at PC. Here's to Earl Thomas (a future HOF) showing why he is considered one of the best that has ever played in his position in the NFL.
So wait he mad because Pete Carrol, who I don't necessarily don't like wasn't just making business decisions but he takes a deal with the chiefs and then backs out to take a bigger deal with the Ravens. Shady dude.
starskeymaid in the end he’s making a living.The more money the better retirement it’s not about winning, it’s about having fun if he was in that chiefs team he wouldn’t have had fun! All in all he went to the ravens and we can’t do anything.
Why is there dynamic background music....it isn't on point and undercuts the interview
Jared Brennan once I read this I heard it way louder...
Upcoming boss battle
This is how life is it's what are you doing for me right now..... The past does not matter. So we must always remember that and our pick ourselves back up!
Earl is my dude! Wish he would have gone to KC but even though he is with Baltimore I’ll still root for him!
Was hoping the Steelers wouldve traded for him but then the injury and now hes in Baltimore smh wish this man the best tho
Yes sir. Should have been a Steeler
