Media coverage is going to be insanely negative if Sam goes undrafted

Justifiable IMO.

 

[Syrinx]

These shots to the podium are always such a tell.

 

[rando14]

There it is

Congrats to Sam

 

[Sweeney Tom]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[slabrock]

Sam went undrafted ?

spoke to soon. Going to St Louis

 

[mr2xxx]

Sam joins a stacked D-Line at St. louis. Not much of an opportunity but glad he got picked up.

 

[WesternHeretic]

Glad Sam got drafted, but too bad you in our division. Prepare to DIE!

 

[BlackGhost]

Lol espn has a camera in a openly gay bar?

 

[cashman]

Squicken gets his guy

 

[Officerrob]

Good job St. Louis. With that said, it's going to be INSANELY hard for him to get a job on that team

:jnc

 

[Tamanon]

Lol espn has a camera in a openly gay bar?

Not even one in Missouri to boot, just a random gay sports bar.

 

[Tom Penny]

If all the D Lineman get career ending injuries he has a shot to contribute.

E!SPN

Nice to see Sam get drafted even if late round.

 

[cashman]

Ken Bishop to the Cowboys. The radio guys are happy.

 

[Dunkers92]

Congrats to Sam. Pleased he got drafted. Good luck to him, will be tough for him on that front in St.Louis

 

[Elfforkusu]

Not even one in Missouri to boot, just a random gay sports bar.

Good luck finding one

/never looked, but I'm oddly confident

Wonder if the league forces the Rams to be on Hard Knocks now.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Justifiable IMO.

Is it?

NFL teams are in the business of winning football games, not waving the banner on social issues.

If they don't think the guy can help their football team, they have absolutely no obligation to take him.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy he got drafted, just like I'm happy for the other 253 guys who'll get a chance to live their dream and play pro football.

I just don't instantly buy into the whole "If Sam doesn't get drafted, it's because the NFL and its teams colluded against him because he's gay" angle

Would be an easier argument to make if he didn't win SEC DPOY

 

[Godslay]

RamSam the ManRam!

Congrats, good day for the NFL.

 

[Eleuin]

Cant wait for the media to start up "why isn't Micheal sam getting playing time?"

 

[chuckddd]

Wonder if the league forces the Rams to be on Hard Knocks now.

He's going to take a lot of shit for being gay. Just like every player gets shit for being rookies. It'd be a pr disaster.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Now that one will be stupid. StL media doesn't really realize the Rams exist though, it may not be a problem.

I've no doubt you'd see news about the value of the 7th round pick and the question asked, "Why wouldn't you take a chance this late?"

 

[WesternHeretic]

I hope they sit Robert Quinn for Sam.

 

[Officerrob]

I bet George Atkinson III is a guaranteed Raider UDFA signing

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Ozzie Newsome.. HAVE U LOST YOUR FUCKING MIND ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS.

You guys still had a good draft.

Although Farmer traded with Ozzie

 

[LyleLanley]

Wonder if the league forces the Rams to be on Hard Knocks now.

The league would be stupid to do so until after they know for sure that everything is working out for Sam and the Rams.

 

[BlackGhost]

Fucccck draft needs to end already, needa get to those Udfas

 

[JABEE]

Not even one in Missouri to boot, just a random gay sports bar.

How would they know he would get drafted by St. Louis?

 

[Tamanon]

How would they know he would get drafted by St. Louis?

He played college ball at Missouri.

 

[Syrinx]

They had Shelley Smith reporting from there earlier.

 

[jbug617]

ESPN got the live reaction to Sam's phone call.

 

[JABEE]

He played college ball at Missouri.

Yeah. You're right.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW

 

[Sanjuro]

Is there confetti dropping?

Has the Pope tweeted?

 

[Nakazato]

[Greg]

ez's ban is being extended as we speak

 

[JABEE]

Add a few weeks

 

[jbug617]

Twitter is going to blow up about Sam kissing his boyfriend

 

[JABEE]

Are they getting married? What?

 

[rando14]

So happy for Sam :')

 

[JABEE]

So happy for Sam :')

Yep. Good to see. Hopefully it's easier for other guys to just be who they are. Each person that is able to come out, it's easier for the next player.

 

[Tamanon]

Are they getting married? What?

Not in Missouri they aren't, at least not for a few years.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Rams gonna play BLITZ 99 with all this D? Yikes!!

 

[Nemesis121]

[WesternHeretic]

Damn NFLN ignoring Mr Irrelevant..

[Nakazato]
