Michael Sam is on dancing with the stars? Lol

Guess he never had a chance in the league

Dancing with your 15 minutes of fame.

I still have a lot of non-sports friends tell me how homophobic the NFL is.

Haaaaaaaaaa

Well, the NFL is pretty homophobic, but that doesn't mean Sam can play.

 

[Slo]

Didn't I hear on PTI or somewhere that Sam runs a 5.1/40? Pff. If he ever got past an OT, the guy would turn around and run him down.

 

[Sanjuro]

Are there examples of the NFL purposely keeping out a player based on his sexuality?

Vikings punter?

Sure. Misery loves company

I'm pretty much all by myself over there as well. Except for one Astros guy who all he does is yell out the names of the players for some reason.

His main problem is he's too small so teams won't deal with the openly gay player 'issue'. If he were like Suh people would be all over that shit, gay or not.

Don't love abs or biceps on a woman but those pants and that ass are impressive.

The only regular Astros fan we've had in recent MLB threads is that jello44 guy.

For a league with absolutely no safeties, Kerry Rhodes got completely ignored after all his stuff started coming out. He wasn't some world beater, but almost certainly deserved to be on a roster somewhere.

Yeah, Kerry Rhodes was the one I was thinking of, he def still had game before he got blacklisted.

 

[Slo]

The league has always been willing to put up with your bullshit, if what you do on the field is worth it. Right now, being gay still means locker room drama and some amount of media/fan controversy, so a warm body like Kerry Rhodes isn't going to have a high enough production:bullshit ratio.

 

[MechDX]

I approve

Well he is roughing it in that Wisconsin cabin.

There still hasn't been a prime example though. Rhodes seems fine with his result.

Kerry seemed really pissed off that he got outed, so I don't think he was fine. It's funny how much play Michael Sam got, and the Kerry Rhodes thing was just pretty much a deadspin and similiar sites thing only.

Fucking Houston, out of all teams.

 

[Bread]

Wisconsin's offense is so fun to watch, it's nice to see some guys who can actually make plays with the ball instead of the typical college offense of pass pass pass shoot crappy shot.

Never heard of it.

holy shit Peter King writes an article about a military veteran trying to make the NFL and he asks the dude how many people he killed

that is the most Peter King thing I've ever seen

Did he ask him which base had the best coffee?

It's like the CrossFit of high school sports. For the most part nobody gives a shit, but the ones who do REALLY REALLY REALLY give a shit.

You actually said the Rockets. Are you ill?

Right after he asked for their hoppiest, tastiest IPA.

I hear ya, the NY ranger fanbase is small compared to the other sports, but man their fans are the most fanatic diehards there are.
