Never has so much ink been wasted on a seventh-round pick who gets cut.
” Rams coach Jeff Fisher “remains a fan” but the Rams need practice help at other positions due to injury concerns.”
Injury concerns?
HIV or rejected propositions?
And coaches aren’t supposed to be “fans”, they are supposed to be impartial, dispassionate task masters who tell the team their basic jobs, motivate the players, and fairly punish idiocy.
They are supposed to coach, not cuddle!
Good riddance to the loud mouth!
Darn he missed again cause he drinks coke.
Truthfully I’m not that big of a sports fan, but I remember when sports was at least something you could turn to as a distraction from the rest of the nonsense in the world. Now the nonsense is front and center. You have the Redskins insanity with people trying to force an owner to change the name of his property, then you have tons of media attention devoted to a player who isn’t good enough to be in the league but he’s attracted to other men so he’s considered important, and next there will be some kind of backlash over him being cut too. Makes you wonder what kind of stupidity will be next.
i am pleased... political correctness was not enough to sign him... good! i swear, a couple of days ago a couple of talking heads on ESPN were saying it was a long-shot that he make the team, but that he deserved to... wth? why does he deserve it? they were talking out of both sides of their mouths...
It’s not a great stretch to suppose that the St Louis franchise owners are homophobes. Isn’t that the standard Leftist response for this kind of “news”?
Probably about 500 better free agents than him out there
Is Obama going to stop golfing and deal with it?
maybe now these football players who are gay will stay on the downlow since Sams crashed and burned due to the media hype.
Football is all about the team, right??
The thuggish goon Michael Sam is not gay. Like all sodomites, he's a miserable, twisted deviant deliberately and brazenly disobeying God.
Maybe he can finally get that reality show he’s been wanting. poor fellah. All gay all the time just isn’t enough in this all gay all the time racist homophobic country...
They had to draft him..otherwise there would be endless charges of homophobia. So the Rams stepped up and took one for the league. Less than 5% of 7th round picks ever make a team, so there wasn't much downside..but when the Rams picked him, it made NO sense..for the last few years, their D line has been among the best in the entire league...so where was he gonna play? He's far too slow to play OLB...and by cutting him the last day...they've removed any chance he had to catch on with another team.
They put Sam in a box, and tied it with a pretty pink ribbon..
