February 26, 201412 yr Sam had a pretty horrendous Combine....Ran a 40 of 4.91(18th among DL), had 17 reps in the bench (2nd last among DL), 25.5" vertical (39th among DL), and broad jump of 114" (14th among DL). He certainly didn't help himself, you're 100% correct.
February 27, 201412 yr It wouldnt hurt my feelings if he dont get drafted. Why the need to come out in public, he already did to his team mates at mizzu. What about me, should I be in the news for coming out and saying I love women, I am a guy who loves women. All kinds and colors. Where is my big coming out party. This coming out of the closet stuff is getting old. Must need attention. Can't dislike this enough. You don't have to "come out" because you are accepted as a "woman lover of all kinds and colors" as you said. What if blacks had kept silent about the way they were treated? Their "coming out party" has made some pretty good inroads, wouldn't you say? Now that gays and lesbians are proudly coming out, they, too, are making gains all across the country. Gay Congressmen, gay NFL players, who knows, maybe oneday a gay President or Supreme Court justice. I know its a world you may not like but it's one you better accept or else become irrelevant.

Why do we have to have a gay President or Supreme Court Justice for gay people to be vindicated? Are they irrelevant if a gay person doesn't ascend to one of those positions? Have we ever had a President with one testicle? I feel for those men in the world that have only one testicle and have never been represented in the White House. The humanity of it all.

Wow, Im gay, let the world be proud. It aint like there isnt enough of it now that people dont have to all of sudden make a big deal out of it. Im gay, can I write a book about coming out, Im gay, will I be drafted, Im gay, Im gay, Im gay. WHO CARES. So many have already come out of the closet that Im shocked there is any left in there.

May 11, 201412 yr OK, so anybody want to revisit this after Sam's 7th round selection? It's much later than the Rds 3-5 projection we saw earlier. Will there be any weird blowback by the non-football community (of whom the crazier ones probably thought he was a first-rounder)?
May 11, 201412 yr Sounds like he's projected as strictly a third down pass rusher but he'll make that defense even more dangerous if he sticks.

May 11, 201412 yr Undersized and 4.91 in the 40? That's not a pass rusher. He shouldn't have been drafted at all based on his talent. That's what "should" matter.
May 12, 201412 yr Undersized and 4.91 in the 40? That's not a pass rusher. He shouldn't have been drafted at all based on his talent. That's what "should" matter. He ran a 4.72 at his pro day. Also improved his bench press from 17 reps at combine to 19 at pro day. Let's remember he was the SEC co-defensive player of the year and had double figure sacks and nearly 20 tackles for a loss. That "should" matter, as well. He'll have to earn his way on to St. Louis' roster- they are deep at D Line and drafted a stud this year. It was a good day three of the draft for Michael Sam. It will be interesting to see if he sticks and makes the regular season roster.

Eh, when it comes to interracial dating, it's usually people who have little to no involvement in the relationship themselves that get the most upset.
May 12, 201412 yr Eh, when it comes to interracial dating, it's usually people who have little to no involvement in the relationship themselves that get the most upset. I agree to an extent... But you'd be surprised how bitter black girls are when they see black dudes with white girls. I know that saltiness first hand. :lol2:
May 12, 201412 yr Michael Sam: I should've been drafted in the first three rounds - CBSSports.com To put it in perspective, the other AP All-American Defensive End was Jackson Jeffcoat of Texas. He went undrafted. Just because you have accolades and recognized at the highest level in college football, it does not guarantee you will be a draft day selection. Sam was always considered at-best a mid-round prospect that dropped the ball at the combine. He improved at his Pro Day, but that also had to do with his ceiling being so low from his combine performance.
