Who Answered the Call? Week 9 in the NFL
I’ll be honest. Before about 8:30 p.m. Eastern on Sunday night, I had no clue what a swap meet store was. Saints receiver Michael Thomas explained over the phone late Sunday that it’s sort of like a flea market. The kind of place you might wander into inadvertently and leave with something you might never use. Only, in this case, Thomas wasn’t aimlessly browsing. He needed a flip phone.
That was earlier in October, and the third-year Saints star did have a plan.
“It was inspired by Joe Horn, of course,” Thomas sai of one of his wide receiver predecessors in New Orleans. “I didn’t talk to him about it. I just watched it on YouTube a couple times and came up with the plan.”
