As are most seventh round picks. He is gay though so the gay army and friendly media will make it out that he was cut because he is gay. Hey I hope the kid goes in and makes it. Seems like a good kid. In the NFL it's about getting it done not who you sleep with though. He isn't fast enough IMO. We shall see.

So tell us about these sissies you're raising...
OK. I taught my son that it's healthy to express emotion. I told him not to swallow all the toxic rage and pain and tamp it down until it festers and puts out poison and consumes him.
I raised an absolutely wonderful human being. Great kid.
Yes, sometimes he cries. I'm glad he can.

This nonsense that a player has to be a certain height, weight and speed is just stupid. If Reggie white ran a 4.9 and and was successful, this kid can do it to0. It's all about using what you've been given to the best of you abilities IMO.
Why was Sherman picked in the fifth round..............

Yes it doesn't mean you CAN'T play..............but if your a speed rusher and run a 4.9............well he was lucky to be even drafted. Can't play the run much either. Hey if he goes in and is the steal of the draft good for him. All some need is a shot. He has his now.

Again, he ran a 4.69 at his pro-day.

Yes your right. He was very good in college. That doesn't always translate to the NFL. He is simply too slow and not quick enough. I mean we shall see. It all depends on the system and if he fits. Rams have a helluva defensive line right now. Put him on the edge and see what he can do in pre season. They could have a steal.........or just cut him. Not a bad pick at all IMO. Problem is everybody will be scared to say anything around him. Or maybe Sams just rolls with the crap. I would bet he does.

I read a 4.7............lol

Like I said I wanted the Chiefs to take a shot on him with one of their sixth rounder. Some just don't want the circus to come to town along with him. Media just should go away and let the kid play football.

I think the bigger issue that hasn't been discussed is why is another successful black man (Michael Sam) with a white partner!!

There are way too many successful black sports athletes who pursue white partners these days even the gay ones.! Ha ha.

The times, they are a changin'! Congratulations, Michael Sam!

Making history, it's about time.
The NFL has joined the 21st century of acceptance, kudos!
It already wasn't a straight-only league. Michael Sam is just the only openly gay player. There are others we don't know about.

4.7, 4.69 - same thing. In any event, faster than Jared Allen, Tamba Hali, Greg Hardy, Michael Bennett, Lamarr Houston, Chandler Jones, etc, etc.

If Michael Sam wanted to, he could have you in the hospital in a minute or so. It is the NFL, not Pop Warner. He has better things to do than get obsessed with immature haters. Waste of his time. You are just jealous. Calling you on it. Deal with it.
