Truth, Part 3: Thomas is one of the greatest safeties to ever play the game and may have been the most imposing member of the Legion of Boom. He is a likely Hall of Famer, and despite his unceremonious exit is a surefire future member of the Seahawks’ Ring of Honor.

For a good portion of the 12s, any character flaws are inconsequential, as he’ll never have to buy a drink in this town again. But if we’re being Earl Thomas-like honest, we have to recognize that something hasn’t been right with him.
As I read that I was struck but he word Honor. Should he be honored for his amazing play? Absolutely. Did he conduct himself with honor the last couple seasons here? Hell no. Does he belong with the group of players currently enshrined in an entity based on Honor. Good question.
May have been the most imposing member of the Legion of Boom? Does Calkins even watch the Seahawks?
He said he was a surefire member of the Ring of Honor so I am missing your point.

Sherman? Chancellor? Thomas? Which one was imposing? I have a jersey with the name of the man who was imposing on the back. It wasn't Thomas. But admittedly, Thomas did allow the other two to concentrate on their jobs because he was very good as being the last line of defense. But imposing?
Chancellor without question
Ok I got your point and yes, Calkins has shit fer his brains.

Ridiculous word choice, for sure. that aside, i think this article was a pretty good take on Calkins' part (from the broken watch right twice a day department).
