Earl Thomas watched loss in a Portland Buffalo Wild Wings

Bill Assumpcao · Dec 2, 2016

LoL. It's so Earl.

I was -- still am, really -- trying to picture Earl Thomas, three-time All-Pro free safety and Super Bowl champion, sitting in a Buffalo Wild Wings with his hood up and sunglasses on while the Tampa Bay Buccaneers took a 14-0 lead faster than you can say “Another basket of Boneless with Carribbean Jerk, please.

OMG that just made Earl that much cooler. Too lazy to read the article, but does it explain why he was in Portland?

Blazers-Rockets game, I think.

I was wondering are players allowed to travel with team and be on sidelines when injured? If so do you think he should have? I know he cant play but the whole team brother mentality?

Being from Houston he is probably a Rockets fan. And nobody recognized him? Doubt that would have been the case in Seattle.

Not sure about "a rule" or how it might be determined but Kam went to the games while he was not suiting up.

He's not really from Houston.

He's from the Beaumont area, a little town just east of Beaumont called Orange, actually.

Still very possible that he's a Rockets fan.

My question is if you're a pro athlete with that much money and you're going to go to Portland to watch the game why are you watching at Buffalo wild wings instead of buying tickets and sitting in the Arena? Earl could probably afford courtside tickets I'm thinking

Not everyone likes to do that though. To reach their own.

Funny,
I was at the Coeur d'Alene Buffalo Wild Wings watching that loss

He watched the Hawks at BW's. He took in the Blazers-Rockets later that night live.

I am guessing he was at the Buffalo Wild Wings next to Lloyd Center which is not too far from the Moda Center and since the tipoff was at 6pm he had plenty of time to make it to the game.

He went to the Friday and Sunday Trail Blazers games. The article mentions that Sunday, before he went to the game he watched the Seahawks at the Wild Wings. Not sure what you are thinking:

Thomas attended Portland’s NBA win over the New Orleans Pelicans at the Moda Center downtown on Friday night. That was a few hours after his teammates left without him on their flight to Tampa. Thomas returned to the arena Sunday night to watch the Blazers, owned by Seahawks owner Paul Allen, play Thomas’ favorite team, the Houston Rockets. Houston is about an hour and 45 minutes west of Thomas’ hometown of Orange, Texas.

That Blazers-Rockets game started at 6 p.m. That was about two hours after Thomas’ teammates finished their frustrating loss across the country. While his Seahawks were starting their long flight back to SeaTac, Thomas watched his Rockets beat the Blazers 130-114. So at least that went his way last weekend.

Not to mention he knows the owner.

Someone tell me more about this Buffalo Wild Wings place. Is it a classy establishment for Earl?

Food and drink are reasonably good. As was posted above, it is located conveniently close to the Portland Trailblazers basketball arena, where he was about to attend a game.
