Michael Sam just got into the NFL, and now he's landed his own TV deal.
The first-openly gay football player to be selected in the draft will be the focus of a new multi-part documentary series to air on Oprah's OWN network, produced by the same crew that filmed Lindsay Lohan's reality show.
'We are honored that Michael is trusting us with his private journey in this moment that has not only made history but will shape it forever,' Oprah Winfrey said in a statement.

As soon as the Rams management saw Michael and his little white friend go at it on camera, they had to be thinking to themselves, “Oh crap, what have we just done?”
btw, it is a good thing that the Michael Sams show will not be of this format, because if it were, i think it would be a hit...
Defining deviancy down one “reality” show at a time. Puerile voyeuristic trash that will be glommed up by the masses.
Is he going tom share his secret to cleaning poop off his poker?
And even moreso, football will be looked at as a “ghetto” sport. In the more white suburban communities, it’s more likely kids will be playing Lacrosse, than Football.
He will spend so much time being gay that he will FAIL as a football player
Will he be demonstrating anal sex on the show ?
Perhaps discussing the vagaries of anal warts ?
Showing off the latest in enema techniques ?
I’m homonauseous.
Good Job, St. Louis Rams.
Now you get to be the designated villian in a Oprah-produced reality show when Michael Sam is cut.
Not only that, but you are going to have camera crews demanding access and disrupting with camps and practices as they “document” Michael Sam’s every waking moment.
If only you had been able to see this train wreck coming... If onlt there was some way you could have known!

What a country! if you have no talent, no abilities, but are a member of an officially-designated victim group, you get multiple job offers and you get rich.
You’re a bad, bad man...
Why, thank you.
How much do you think they would have to pay him to fake a "career-ending injury"? By the end of the season, they will be falling all over themselves to pay this guy Five Million Dollars to go away.
Good job! Being a Head Coach is one of the most gratifying things I’ve done. I have coached from 3rd-4th grade all the way up through middle school. I’ve had countless parents - especially Moms - tell me how their sons look up to me. Tons of players that still call me “Coach”. It’s rewarding and humbling and I hope I am a positive role model for them. I wouldn’t trade it for the world.
You’re making a difference and I thank you for volunteering and hope you get even a glimmer of satisfaction that I do.
The unionization issue is a TOTAL mess. OSHA? Payroll taxes? tax return filings? TITLE 9???? I don’t know how this is going to go down.
But boy, have we engaged in massive thread drift here......
Another ho-hum homo show? Thanks, Oprah.
Just great! He made the draft into a circus!
Not gonna happen. No player is going to accept being the one who was bested by the queer.
Remember the movie “Heaven Can Wait”. When basically in practice the Ram offensive linemen allowed the defense to sack Warren Beatty.
I suspect, the Rams OL will make sure that Sam’s competition looks much better than him in practice.
Put it back where it belongs; NORMAL / HOMOSEXUAL.
HOMOSEXUAL, because there's nothing GAY about it.
lol. SQUIRREL!
A “private journey” that includes ingesting feces and having his anus fall out. I’d be honored if he’d keep it a lot more private.
