Earl Thomas Saga Has Ugly Turn

In today's Sunday Seattle Times, Seahawk beat writer Bob Condotta wrote about the Arizona Cardinals stadium being a "house of horrors".  He had remembered the Seahawk defeat in the 2014 Super Bowl in the final minutes in that very stadium to the New England Patriots.  As well as other unfortunate happenings to the team.  
He could not have been more correct as the Seahawks lost Safety Earl Thomas, very likely for good in that very stadium.  It was probably the most hollow victory.  The Seahawks won the game, but Earl Thomas injured his leg and by all accounts is lost for the season.  Tight End Will Dissly also left the game due to injury
However, the sad part was Thomas's giving the Seahawk bench the "finger".  Thomas had held out for a new contract over the summer.  He came back after the team wouldn't blink and played well.  Since a new deal did not look possible, he was hoping for a trade. 
So it was a win for the Seahawks who are now even for the season at 2 and 2, but you can bet, no won was celebrating on the short trip  home.
