There are players and ex-players for whom any drug possession charge would seem hypocritical. Thurman Thomas has never to my knowledge (limited though it may be) made any strong anti-drug statements, so once this news is reported, I don't think he should be especially raked over the coals for his transgression. It is news, and I believe it would be reported any time of the year if a probable Hall of Fame RB gets arrested for drug possession. I can't see the value of examining the issue of this arrest further than it has been, though.
It kind of puts a new spin on the time he forgot his helmet, though.
