SEATTLE — Sad is the word here.
That's the most apt description of the once-revered Seahawk's descent. Seeing Earl Thomas' name in the news these days doesn't spark joy or inspiration anymore. It almost always prompts the question, "What did he do this time?"
On Friday, the seven-time Pro Bowl safety was arrested in Texas for violating a court protective order. Police said the violation occurred when he sent threatening messages to his ex-wife about her and their children. The 33-year-old faces a third-degree felony for multiple violations over the past year, with his ex telling police that he sent texts saying he had obtained two handguns and another saying he would "kick [her] ass."
