If you have to ask, I'm whatever it was you thought moved in the shadows.
Are you sure you want to know what that is?

ESPN does a report about the shower arrangements in the Rams locker room to accommodate Michael Sam. Are you kidding me. This is all they have to fill air time? ESPN= New sports version of TMZ

Sam has generated more money for the team, and league than most 1st-round draft choices.

He's been a hit in the media.
Same reason we are talking about Michael Sam and not Ja'Wuan James.

They split the proceeds with other teams if I remember right.
Players actually get something like 85 cents if I remember right. This came out during a lawsuit by older players who were not getting anything for their "likeness" being used. Doing it off the top of my head..........

Yeah, the media and journalism is joke in country. I exploit it when I bet football. People actually believe that crap and form opinions from it without thinking. Like he's the only gay player. There are probably a couple more just on the Ram's. His problem is their defensive line is already stacked. He looks pretty good and will make it somewhere. When will people grow up? ESPN, next story, pee, pee,....caca. ...and boogers.
Last years big story. Seattle is bunch of thugs.........bet Denver... How did that work?.....

The Rams were praised to the skies when they drafted him....now they will be vilified if they cut him. If that happens the team that picks him up will be praised to the skies, that is until the cut him. This whole situation could only happen in the PC world of today.

I was thinking the same thing. I don't think the Rams have the gumption to cut him.......they will keep him no matter what?

There's no way this guy isn't good enough to be on someone's nfl roster, at least as a backup. He also comes dirt cheap for at least 3 yrs.

So true.
I have no idea if this guy is any good.
From a distance, he seems to have had a competent pre-season showing.
