Michael Sam.....

[likeitfast55]

I agree with half of that. Maybe three quarters.It'd be no different if he were a loudmouth, or had an imaginary girlfriend, or loved Jesus more than fame, fortune, and football.

Agreed.

All we need is to pick up Tebow, and J-Football------re-sign T Owens and the circus would be complete.

I think their going to ask him to play tight end.

The NFL was reportedly scared of the mainstream media blowback that it would receive if Michael Sam, the league's first openly gay player, did not make a team.

When the Rams cut Michael Sam last weekend, the NFL reportedly called teams to inquire if they had "evaluated Sam as a possible practice squad player," according to a report from MMQB's Peter King.

Before Thursday night's NFL season opener between Seattle and Green Bay, King reported that Sam and the NFL eventually avoided a "nightmare situation" when Jerry Jones and the Cowboys ultimately signed him to the practice squad.

Sam, a prototypical tweener who is not big enough to be on the defensive line and not fast enough to play linebacker, would have found it difficult to make any team's 53-man roster.

I will continue to reiterate that Jerry doesn't care about winning. He cares about publicity, and the bottom line. To that end, he has turned the Cowboys into the most lucrative franchise in the league. If he cared about winning football games, he'd win all the time.

EDIT FOR CLARIFICATION: I give no fucks about Michael Sam. When he does something worth getting excited about, I'll get excited. Just being gay or a football player isn't enough.

Yale, he also started with the most lucrative team in the NFL.

My point is more that his priorities lie with revenue generation and publicity, not winning football games.

I thought that is what you meant, but it was kinda funny. To me it seems like other teams are catching up, but he does make tons of Cowboys stuff, and that pisses me off.

Can't he just say something racist, so they can get rid of him!!!

I bought a shirt from Lies and Filth that says exactly that. It's the only Cowboys shirt I wear anymore.

And? Last time I checked, the number 1 priority of any business is to make money. The ones that don't fail miserably. Until the stadium looks like Jacksonville, JJ wont give two shits how well his team does.

Are you sure about that?

I am pretty sure he is not.

If you think I'm complaining, you are mistaken.

They didnt have to draft him, the kid is a good football player.

Good enough to be released by the team that drafted him for not being good enough to make the squad and then signed by Jerry for the practice squad.

Reality is, he was drafted because the NFL didn't want the tag of being anti-gay hanging over them. The RAMS drafted him knowing he most likely wouldn't make team. When he got released, Jerry jumped at the chance to have some media look his way because he hasn't done anything else(other than be filmed with girls half his age) to get the media spotlight on his team.

Of course I may be wrong and when he couldn't make the Rams, he was picked up by the cowboys to handle their latent homosexual tendencies.

Honestly, Spiderman has more fucks to give than I do regarding the NFL.
