ESPN gal: How far has this family come? (as in your journey with Brian's football career)

BT's mom: We came from Baton Rouge.

That’s really all that needs to be said.

I thought I just misheard the question but was very confused with the short answer of “we came from Baton Rouge”

I’m pretty sure she answered it exactly as it was asked. They are about to have a beach house in Ponte Vedra. That’s coming a long way from Baton Rouge.

Before we all have a go at Baton Rouge, I reject the premise of the thread

I mean, being from Baton Rouge is definitely an overcoming adversity story.

I hated the question. The Thomas’ aren’t some poor, single mom household where this is about to get them out of the crackhouse. BTJ has been a freak athlete since he was 10. His sophomore year of high school it was pretty obvious he was going to be elite. Top that off with a grounded family structure and that family was living the dream watching their son.

Not everything has to have a fricking Tom Rinaldi tear-fest come up story attached to it.

I didn't take as a movement from lower class to upper class kind of thing.

Thought it was more about just their son's journey from playing sports as a kid to now being in the NFL and the family of course is a big part of that journey.
