Michael Sam Says He Is Gay; May Become First Publicly Gay Player in N.F.L.

Because they had greater needs at that point in the draft. The Rams didn't have as much of a need for a defensive end (they have Robert Quinn and Chris Long). They needed secondary help they didn't get earlier. They need to start developing a young QB (which bothered me when they traded out of the fifth round and could have gotten higher-rated QBs). All of those picks provided depth in areas where they needed depth.

 

Marshall Henderson, a drug user, is afraid Michael Sam isn't a sufficient role model for his young brothers.

Bill Rhoden needs to hang it up. He's a fucking embarrassment.

 

And has been for a while.

 

Henderson won't have to worry about anyone boycotting him when he's playing in the D-League next year.

 

It gets weirder.

Henderson tweets that a friend WHO IS GAY and a psych major asked him to put up that tweet as a "social experiment."

 

How stupid is his friend if he needed to collect responses that way and/or didn't know what the reaction to Henderson's tweets would be?

 

Maybe his friend is Manti Te'o girlfriend.

 

“From last season alone, I should’ve been in the first three rounds. SEC Defensive Player of the Year, All-American,” Sam said during a conference call, adding that other teams chickened out on selecting him.

Good to see that he's coming in humble and not with guns blazing.
