Look at it this was Cyd, Sam will be able to spend more "quality time" with his "significant other". Ya gotta keep football "in perspective" bubba!
Regardless of how good/not good Sam might be it looks to me like none of the teams wanted to field him because he would get shredded. Given the chance I know I would have layed him out-—between the whistles of course. It’s just not good to take the field after shooting ones mouth off about how cool/special/deserving/talented/queer one might be. “shut up and play” is always good advice.
