I don't follow football like I used to, either. From everything I've read he's a borderline NFL player whose draft position dropped considerably due to two major factors: (1) his poor showing at the NFL combines this past winter, and (2) the fear on the part of many NFL teams of inviting a circus-like atmosphere to the team if they draft him.

What makes this story even more strange is that he was drafted by the St. Louis Rams, who already have some of the best pass rushers in the NFL on their defensive line. This guy will have a hard time making the team.

I wonder it it won't be just the opposite. The Rams may find it difficult to cut him because of the PR hit the gay media will put on the management.

NFL teams: "We can't have Tim Tebow on our roster because of the distractions his presence will attract. But we love the idea of bringing in a man that plays tongue hockey with another man on national TV, no controversy there."

The guy from the rams is named Les Snead, or to put it another way, there is less nead for Sam.
