Earl Thomas sure has hard feelings for Pete Carroll.
Thomas was bitter towards Carroll and the Seattle Seahawks’ front office for not giving him the long-term contract he was seeking. He even flipped off Carroll after suffering a broken leg last year.
Thomas is now with the Baltimore Ravens after signing with them in the offseason and was only too happy to get revenge on his former team with a 30-16 win on Sunday. The victory was sealed on a Marlon Humphrey fumble return for a touchdown to make it 30-13 with under four minutes to go.
The play was reviewed before the ruling went Baltimore’s way. Once the call came in, Thomas yelled at Carroll on the sideline, according to Ravens reporter Jeff Zrebiec.
That was ruled a fumble and Earl Thomas was yelling at Pete Carroll on the sideline. Carroll wasn't listening but Bobby Wagner stepped in front of Thomas and pushed him toward Ravens sideline.

After the game, Thomas went on the field to shake hands with some of his former teammates and even exchanged jerseys with Russell Wilson. FOX’s cameras also appeared to show Carroll avoiding Thomas, though the camera shot did not show all angles and what may have preceded things.

Carroll said during the week leading up to the game that he didn’t have hard feelings towards Thomas. The same cannot be said for Thomas.
