It will show him getting “hurt”, most likely in training camp and have to sit out a year.

Sam wants to switch positions...His favorite position is either a wide receiver or a split end.

Before you know it, Michael Sam will be Obama’s new “body man” at the White House.

We must submit and applaud perversion. I wonder what's next? But I really don't want to know. Libs are like mindless kids. All stupid all the time.

I’m thinking about some stand up comedy that Freddie Prinz did about gay football. That being said they should call the show;”lead balloon.”

He already was taping the reality show for weeks its been revealed and the shows cameras were there when he got drafted and the whole cake-eating kissing his boyfriend performance. So as many figured out, it was indeed staged and not some spontaneous act of affection, it was setup for Oprah cameras

Well, I suppose it depends upon the content of each show.

The one about interior decorating might be suitable family fare.

One hopes Okra will issue an advance warning on the "Trip to the Proctologist Episode."

As a Public Health issue, Okra's producers ought to run a Medical Disclaimer across the bottom of the screen:

All members of the Staff and Cast
are tested weekly for all known STDs.
Wipe TV with Clorox soaked cloth after each episode.

does that mean, also, that the NFL was pressured to make sure he WAS drafted? would the cameras have just packed up and gone, had he not been?

“Why????”

It's an opportunity for the elite media progressive crowd to showcase their march of “progress” in America, which progress of course is the ruination of the country.

ESPN will probably have their own version of the show, just cleverly disguised as daily new updates.
