Joe Thomas is one of the greatest players ever to play in the NFL, shame his talent and time was wasted on the Browns
Nah all the bad qbs not getting sacked made him the star
@@sbose1826 he was a star before and a first ballot hall of famer afterwards.
Someone has to lose. The Browns filled that void quite well.
Joe Thomas for commissioner.
Did u even hear what he said dumbass lol he doesn’t care how much u deflate a ball lol dude is a o line not surprised how stupid is logic and reasoning is
He would need 75% of the owners to approve, after this, why would they
I’m theory the commissioner is suppose just do what’s best for the game but in reality he’s just a puppet for the owners. Goodwill needs to go but I actually don’t think it matters. A strong will and minded person maybe able to convince the owners about doing something that’s right but I just doubt it. They make way too much money now and are way quicker to move their teams than any other sports league. They are just way too greedy and spoiled.
Werrrrrrrrd!
This is the type of person the NFL should be looking to make commissioner. Former player that doesn't have a hard on for the pats
You do realize what the commissioner’s job is right? And who decides to keep him or fire him? His job is to make money for the owners, Roger however terrible he may be at football relations makes the owners a ton of money. He wont lose his job to Joe fucking Thomas anytime soon that’s for sure
@ 9/10 TimesMyCommentsROffensive
I guess 9/10 your comments aren’t dumb as fuck as well. Imagine getting that pissy lol.
fuck no. manziel is a douchebag first of all. this guy is an apologist
He would just be a puppet for the players or the players union. He seems like he would be equally bad in the opposite direction
Hall of Famer at every sense of the word, as a player and as a person. Class act.
I wish every team had a Joe Thomas on it lol. He's the kind of guy every fan would love to have and I'd be proud as hell if I were a Browns fan
I sure was 👍🏽. Wish he’d had a supporting cast worthy of his skills.
Marshal yanda
The bengals had Andrew whitworth and we desperately miss his presence
Surprising and interesting comments. Speaks his mind. Have to respect him from that.
Did they give joe a kid’s chair 😂 that dudes a mountain
“He’s done a great job for the NFL owners”
In other words, he's a stooge.
i’m not a browns fan but he’s a class act.
You're a Bucs fan,
Shitty team shitty organization you're close enough
Yacan Son of Israel stupid
@@yacanbenisrael6414 yes but DONT FORGET SUPER BOWL CHAMPION!!!!
King diamond, you made my day. Hahaha.
From a fellow Bucs fan since the beginning. GO BUCS!!
Not your average joe here!
HAHA so stupid... and soo true haha
Oh no yuz di'ent...
smart guy, good interview
1:52
THANK YOU. JOE THOMAS SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY INTELLIGENT PLAYER IN THE NFL!!!!!
They need to stop hiring attorneys and wannabe politicians to run the NFL. A football man would help rehab the league's image.
The league is as high as it can be. Way more popular than any other US sport. All because of Roger and yes he has made some mistakes.
This guy is one beard away from being the most terrifying man on the planet
Very well spoken and succinct! Never really heard this guy talk before and he comes across pretty well here
It’s a crime that this man didn’t play for a winner. He’s really one of the best LT of all time. I also think he happens to be a pretty good person.
Same goes for Barry Sanders, Larry Fitzgerald & Andrew Luck. Great, talented football players with great characters that played for lousy teams. It's a real shame too. They all deserve better.
Best LT in the last 20 years
Tanner Coker THINK??? THE BEST!!!!
Sebastian Devia He is the GOAT of the third most important position in the NFL, so he is arguably the best non QB ever imo.
Anthony Munoz
Taylor Lewan
Jonathan ogden
Graham really has that great interviewer hair going for him
Hey Graham! You're only 30 and have accomplished this much in life!? Man I'm happy for you! I think it's so cool that you can do these interviews with the people you get! Your channel and interviews kick butt! Keep it up man!
Something tells me this guy is gonna be on the television more and more in the future (thomas that is)
all this time and this is the first time I have heard this mean talk.
Clickbait smh I thought more from you Graham
Joe explained a lot of details I never considered. Good interview!
1 of the best interviews I've seen by Graham !!
why is this popping up on my feed rn
hes pretty smart o lineman
Matt Mousasi he's the smartest oje
Matt Mousasi Left tackle is a very tactical position, it is probably the second smartest after QB.
Linemen tend to score higher on the Wonderlic than other positions, excluding QB.
@@nickca6104 you're high af corners I bet
Escobar Rich no ur high af. It is common knowledge that o linemen score the highest on the wonderlic test.
Interview Joe today. Looks completely different. He's lost about 80-100 lbs and is in terrific shape. This is a guy who had an amazing career on a lot of really bad teams (in Cleveland) and still is respected by his peers. He set a record for most consecutive snaps and when he did get hurt he had the sense to get out while he still had his brain in tact! Good guy all around.
Most realistic person in the NFL it seems like after watching a few of these.
I'm getting that dudes jersey. Man he is awesome on and off the field
Wow, I really like this guy. Athletes get labeled as dumb and dull, this guy is anything but.
I agree he's done a great job with increasing the revenue of the NFL, it's past time they start paying taxes. The fact that they are a non profit organization is insane
And they suspended zeke 6 weeks over rumors!
Goodell is owner friendly because they pay his salary but from a player's and fan's perspective he is destroying the NFL and needs to go. All the owners care about is money which is understandable but the product that is the NFL is garbage.
Goodell is making the game almost unwatchable and destroying the game. The NFL is on the same level as today's WWE.
Why would it be crazy for a league to be run by players and former players? The game could be taken back to it's roots. The ratings are starting to make this visible.
MrGrombie cause then if the guys that are playing are facilitating the game, you think it would stay entertaining or they would go closer to the safe side?
I fucking love this guy. Such a great dude.
Did Joe play Nussbaum Turk, in Hollywood Knights. I would love to see him sing Volare.
Joe Thomas for commish!!!!
Deflate gate was insane.. im not even a pats fan I like the Packers.. Even Aaron Rodgers has said "I like to over inflate my footballs past the legal limit"...... he literally said that ON RECORD.
I’ve never seen that posted anywhere
"Pacifically"
Deflation makes it super ez to catch. and is against the rules especially when the other teams aren't
Goodell is ruining the NFL
Yes. Because he allows the inmates to run the asylum. Allowing players to Kneel during the national anthem when there’s an actual rule (you know, those annoying little things you’re supposed to adhere to) that you’re supposed to stand!
Why would it be silly for the commissioner to be accountable to the players rather than the owners?
Problem was not inflated or deflated footballs, key was in investigating a rule violation the
involved party destroyed evidence -- the destruction of evidence/damage to due process
(Brady destruction of cell phone) should have resulted in serious sanctions.
Joes a class act, always has been and is now in retirement and looking great too with all the weight he’s lost. Oddly enough, I have a cousin named Joe Thomas who is also a real stand up guy.
the deflating argument would have to be across the board because a lower psi ball is easier to catch there has to be a threshold
Great interview, Graham
Joe Thomas for comissioner
Best interview Graham had done
Deflated balls are easier to catch, harder to fumble, and don't fly as high on tipped balls limiting interceptions. Plus tom brady petitioned to the league to make the rule in the first place. so he has an unfair advantage when he breaks it
Hey Joe do you think the fact that the Patriots didnt fumble 1 time that season may have a tiny bit to with the fact that the balls they carried were easier to grip with less air in the ball
Lol joe thomas face getting red sometimes.
Joe Thomas speaking facts
I agree with his football pressure opinion.
Love JT, but i think he should watch the documentary "bigger, stronger, faster"
In the short run for the owners, great they made some good money. However, in the long run with the way they are letting these players use the field as a political platform is going to really hurt them with attendance numbers and T.V. ratings. Roger needs to go.
NFL ratings actually raised up
To the haters, Brady scored more points with the normal ball
love this guy
Joe Thomas would make a great Commissioner.
Hope they pick him for the next commissioner.
Here is a fun fact.... More money was spent on investigating deflategate than was spent on the 911 commission.
What a smart well spoken man
He is paid by the owners- enough said
I get what he is saying but he doesn’t understand why deflate-gate is a thing n why there should have been a suspension...shoulda only been 2 games imo but
Roger Goodwill is Weak....He Has to Go. He and the owners have destroyed the shield. The NFL has become unwatchable! 👍.... With that said, I love Joe Thomas, and everything that Joe Thomas said in this piece. Great Job Graham!!!!
Great interview but where does he say "Fire Roger Goodell." I'm really tired of this click bait shit. I would have watched it if it said "Joe Thomas on Roger Goodell" which is what it is.
Ok Brady's Offensive Line does his deflating for him. He gets massive protection. Thats why he has such durability. They dederbe alot of credit top. That said i believe Tom Brady could have won throwing a dead road kill rabbit! Ok? If Tom Brady is guilty of deflating anything its deflating this dishonest commissioner Goodell. Why is he not fired?. Hes hurt the game and Tom has elevated it. Over and out. Im a life time Dallas fan but Tom Brady won me over 3 years ago to become a Brady fan with the way he carried himself in the face of disparaging and false attacks from somebody thats supposed to have the players backs. He's a good example of just proving them wrong. He's a winner, Goodell not. Get him out of there. Investigate him how about it.
Steroids would not give a QB a competitive advantage. In fact, it would negatively affect his touch gaining strength that fast, and gaining size would negatively affect throwing mechanics.
I like you Joe, but you dismiss the fact that 1 . the patriots have a history of cheating 2. brady destroyed evidence 3. the equipment guys had plenty of time to deflate the balls 4. deflated balls are 1) easier to catch 2) harder to fumble. But I digress Joe.
Super logos need to make a come back
@ 1:44, well because then you would have the QB on every play say, "Well now let's see, I no longer like the feel of this football. Let me see what you have."
He doesn't see that there is an advantage a smaller football? Wow
“Everyone should be allowed to deflate their footballs” 😳 You have to have a standard or players would manipulate footballs to a point where they’re not footballs anymore. I personally don’t think Brady deflated footballs to get an advantage. But again there has to be a set standard for everyone to follow. Everything else does, even the gloves receivers wear have to be within a certain guideline. Why would you not do the same with footballs.
Dudes down to earth and ah straight shooter. Cool
Joe Thomas: "I think teams should want their players to deflate footballs for more offense......as long as it doesn't create an unfair advantage"..........................what? The unfair advantage would be for the defensive players now.....lol. Makes no sense.
Goldglover9 His point is as long everyone can do it then neither offense gains an advantage over the other.
Joe the one player everyone loves from the browns
I like him but the deflated football argument is non sensical. If everyone has the ability to pick what they want to throw, why not throw baseballs and give the wide receivers the uniform ability to use a lacrosse stick ‘if they want to’. It’s just a dumb argument.
Graham's clip title are the most miss-leading, click-baity titles you'll ever come across.
Goodell only suspended him because people were pissed the Patriots never got in trouble for anything they'd ever done previously. To save face and not look like Bob Kraft was his butt buddy, he HAD to suspend Brady. As a fan, I didn't care.
As a fan that cares about the players and f- the owners, I was disturbed they could just take any player they want and toss him.
And the Patriots did nothing to protect him.
Lol lineman.
Bruh joe Thomas straight spitting facts. Legend
What a nice guy Joe Thomas is
This guy gets it he's nothing more than an entertainer
Andy Ajanel he's been listening to lavar ball
ITS MISTER STEAL YOO GIRLLLL
Joe Thomas is an articulate, intelligent, knowledgeable man who knows the game.
Joe Thomas is full of it! The Saints had a bounty on hurting their opponents in a time when the NFL was being crucified over concussions!! Thomas says to do nothing, but tell them to stop? 😂😂😂😂. Joe, stop doing interviews please!
the fact that he calls him Rodger right off the bat.....means he doesn’t respect him as a leader lol
the Comiss is a lawyer - that how he thinks
His logic is so dumb if you have a rule you have to enforce it otherwise all rules are meaningless. If it shouldn’t be a rule that’s an entirely different discussion.
His deflategate opinion sounds similar to the way Trump would reason through something
It’s funny how he talks about deflate gate and at halftime the pats still came out and completely destroyed the colts. Deflated footballs or not, that had no effect on the outcome at that game
I like Joe Thomas but he is way off base. Brady wasn't suspended for altering footballs he was suspended because of the cover up. As far as the footballs go, of course there needs to be a standard.
Who is that guy?
Troy Aikman said he’d go to his grave believing Brady knew the footballs were deflated.
Game 5 of the world series Trouse Sunday Night football in rating only the 2nd time in history.Empty stadiums rating down 25%...Keep on kneeling NFL..you will become the Myspace of the Internet.
It’s also HARDER to throw a deflated football so there’s that.
Saints Bountygate - several people suspended all season.
Patriots cheating multiple times - Four game suspension.
How are you comparing head hunting, and cheating? One can literally lead to death.
@@rotatingcats I understand your point but repeated offenses vs one instance.
Patriots cheat constantly. Constantly.
The Saints were doing what every other NFL team does.. play violent football.
Wait so 1 second he says they didn't deflate the balls. Then he says its ok that they did....
maybe he did but he caused the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars and fans he should be fired .
He's right, except for bountygate. Saints got off too lightly.
"If it's equal why would you have the rule?" "As long as everyone's allowed to deflate their footballs why should we care?" Sure dude, deflate the footballs until they're fucking pancakes and give everyone on the offense fucking rockets for the sake of scoring and revenue. Because that's entertaining and fair right? The point is that at some point it just ain't football anymore, and you gotta draw the line somewhere. Something like the amount of air in the ball might seem trivial to you, but there's a reason we call it "football" and not fucking "pancake."
Quinn McCafferty my dudes on the browns. He learned early that the game isn't about winning lol
Let the man make his money
Now its 2021 and that revenue and ratings thing isnt working out so hot for Goodell and his woke cronie execs.
