Earl Thomas Goes To Injured Reserve
Big shakeups in the NFL these past few weeks to a few of the big players. Possibly game changing injuries. Rob Gronkowski took a shot from Earl Thomas and had to have back surgery to fix his back. It’s another blow to the best TE in the game right now and it really makes me wonder how many hits Gronk can take for the rest of his career before he has to hang up his cleats and put on his dance shoes for good. The Pats will miss him, although not as much as they might have in previous seasons.
Then, the guy who delivered the killshot, Earl Thomas, died this past weekend after an interception attempt caused a collision with Kam Chancellor and his leg broke. Now the Hawks are without their center fielder and playoffs might look a little different. Thomas tweeted a brief mention of retirement thoughts, which is depressing but not too surprising considering most players probably have those thoughts after a big injury. He’ll be back. It’s not like he tore ligaments, he broke a bone, that’s easy to deal with. Even I’ve broken a bone.
Also JPP got a sports hernia and unless the Giants make the SB he’s done for the year, and possibly as a Giant.
Apropos of nothing in the comic above (Which is probably the longest and most involved comic I have made), Marcus Mariota shaved his Movember Mustache, and it’s a tragedy. I didn’t wan’t to do a full comic about it, but definitely leave a small thank you to the legacy of Mark Mariota.
Edit: Fixed the word bubble mix up
The speech bubbles in the 8th panel go the wrong around
Wrong way goddammit
You got two speech bubbles the wrong way round there, dude.
Yea I noticed that too, it confused me and I had to read it twice to see who said what to make sense of it.
It’s pretty damn funny though.
I am mostly just surprised Gronk is wearing pants.
I’m guessing Gronk was already drunk when Earl walked in
Earl Thomas actually wasn’t the one who put Gronk out. He punctured Gronk’s lung, and that put him out for a game. The back injury, however, I have no idea how that even happened.
Mark Matiota, proud owner of a mini van and a moderately sized house, we will miss you.
Mariota geez
JPP is done? There goes the Giants pass rush and super bowl aspirations along with it.
Watt’s letterman’s jacket, fantastic.
Earl Thomas ain’ ‘fraid a no man
The Chargers should have their own frickin bar, not just a corner booth.
Every week but 2 this year they’ve had to put someone on IR.
If Eric Berry can come back from cancer in 6 months, then almost anything is possible
So this is ensemble commercial JJ Watt, who’s an asshole, instead of solo commercial JJ Watt, who wrestles bears outside his log cabin and bleeds ‘Murca.
Earl could have saved some coin and just gotten a bottle of Menage a Trois for Gronk.
How on earth has Sam Bradford not made it to the bar yet with that O-line in Minnesota? It’s a minor miracle.
He passed his injury bug to EVERYBODY ELSE ON THE FUCKING VIKINGS.
How do the Vikings not get their own table?
Earl fears no one >:(
The Chargers are gonna need a bigger booth.
Not enough Chargers in that corner. We have easily 4 times that many players on IR.
Hope Derrick Johnson gets an appearance in here soon. Losing him absolutely sucks for the Chiefs.
I gotta admire the effort you put into making sure that your depiction of Keenan Allen looks absolutely nothing like the real Keenan Allen, save for the jersey
