You don't see these kinds of segments for every (or even ANY) other rookie hoping to make the team.

    If homosexual people want to be treated the same as others then why do we treat them so differently? As it stands, Sam may just make the St. Louis Rams team just because he is gay. The Rams could never cut the guy even if he sucked because the backlash would be so great. Which is really the main point of this topic... if being gay isn't a big deal, than why do we make it such a big deal?

    Wait. I think it's that they can't cut him because he sucks.

    Ban anyone you suspect of being gay. I, of course, am a raging heterosexual.

    Why so much coverage? Less than one day, 42 posts.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    It's because all you mini-dick tricks are very interested. Only can be one reason why.

    So Bobbleheadgiver quit the forum? I thought he couldn't quit us!

    There are all sorts of threads about the NFL in this forum. I get that people don't want to talk about Michael Sam, old news, skip the thread. It is actually odd that it took this long for a Michael Sam thread to get started here, it's a big change for the NFL.

    This forum is run by a gay man, Madtown. Nobody seems to have a problem with that. Good. He once told me he had a bigger cock than me, which made me uncomfortable, but that is the worst thing that ever happened. If you got no problem with Madtown, why can't a few of you baboons deal with a thread about the first gay player?

    There was another thread but I think that one got the boot to RR or FYI.

    Ridiculous. Maybe we also need a fainting room where people can retire to if they are overcome by a controversial topic.

    Well, I get you don't want to start arguing about pure politics. How about Michael Vick and his dog stuff, did that get moved to a safe zone?

    There were a bunch of Vick threads, but none of them got political because basically everyone agreed that he was a shithead for being involved in something like that. Aaron Hernandez threads didn't get political either. But a thread about how the press is covering a gay issue? What are the odds that such a thread wouldn't get political?

    I got up to let the dog out, and while he was shitting in the back yard, I noticed this thread. Several thoughts/questions:

    It seems like a lot of you guys have repressed political urges and should be participating in F.Y.I.

    Chann, are you named for that coach with the memorable and thread-appropriate last name?

    Joe, you have the supreme gall to mention Michael Vick and heaven forbid, Aaron Hernandez in a Michael Sam thread? The PC police are really gonna get you!

    What ever happened to the good ol' days when we had commentators like Marv Albert?

    3irty1, you asked a question over in Romper Room that nobody has answered yet. 40 something responses in less than a day - 1 day before final cutdowns, 6 days before the season starts - I think you have your answer about what the public wants to discuss.

    40 something posts and only one kinda lame attempt at homo humor - the sucking thing? What's the matter with you people hahahaha? That would be something else to lasso non-lurking whatevers - or whatever you said.

    I can't remember if it's this forum or a different one where somebody commented, "will they dare say, 'Sam penetrated into the backfield"? Isn't a gay guy who plays Defensive End an oxymoron?

    I tried. I thought it funny that Joe Buck starts broadcasts with "I'm Joe, this is Troy." John Madden never said, "I'm John, this is Pat."

    Never mind.

    Bretsky is going to be jealous.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
