Joe Thomas cracks funny jokes about comeback inquiries he has received

Joe Thomas Cleveland Browns

Joe Thomas has decided to retire, and the former All-Pro offensive tackle held his farewell press conference on Monday. While having to say goodbye to the game he loves was obviously an emotional experience, Thomas mixed in plenty of stand-up comedy.

When asked by reporters if he has received calls about possibly changing his mind and playing in 2018, Thomas took lighthearted swipes at some former Browns executives and players, including Johnny Manziel and ex-general manager Ray Farmer.

Thomas covered a lot of Browns history with just a few short one-liners, but those of you who have followed the team know exactly what he was talking about. Browns executives once landed in hot water for calling down to the sideline during games to talk to coaches. The Manziel stuff is pretty self-explanatory, and the comment about former Cleveland exec Sashi Brown probably opened up the freshest wound. If you remember, there was talk of Brown intentionally sabotaging a trade at the deadline last season.

In addition to being one of the best offensive linemen to ever play, Thomas also has a great sense of humor. We’re almost certainly going to see him in a television role in the near future.
