Calmly seething Thomas explodes with restraint
Herald headline (print edition Page 1): ‘Thomas blasts benching/Angry linebacker explodes’
Globe headline (print and online): ‘It’s just a scratch/Linebacker says he’s fine with Belichick’s benching’
The truth is in there somewhere (tilting more toward Karen's actual story). I know this: No egotistical NFL player can be nonchalantly happy about being benched, inactivated or whatever. It should be interesting to see how he plays Sunday.
Update - Hub Blog's early Herald print-edition is different from
this later print edition: 'Bench chafes Thomas/Angry linebacker simmers.' Well, that's probably closer to the truth than the other two headlines.
