Listed as a third-stringer on the depth chart and expected by many to not make the 53-man team, Michael Sams quest to become the first openly-gay player on a regular-season roster moved on Friday night to an actual game.

“If he doesn’t make the cut, then all hell will break loose”
One big reason most teams wouldn’t draft him or invite him to camp. The main reason though, he just isn’t NFL caliber
two tight ends and they suck.
And don’t forget Lebron James.
HA!
Sick. Alinsky is happy.
He’ll get cut if he’s not good enough. No team will want to to thru that year after year. So cut him and be done with it.
From what I’ve been able to gather, he has a tackle, maybe a QB pressure, and a penalty called on him. Wasn’t in the game during the brief that the starters were playing.
Now back to gay puns......
Fixed an omission.

How ironic that he plays for the Rams..considering what he does on his free time
Who the hell cares?
LOL. You are probably right, but if that is true, I wonder if that means he is guaranteed a 50 year NFL career, because no one wants to cut him?

LOL, Sarah, I am surprised at you. It does kind of giving new meaning to the word, doesn't it?
You're right. OTOH, let's say that Sam doesn't get much playing time this year, you're likely to have as many gays (and pro-gay supporters) say that Sam was drafted only for window-dressing and that the Rams really aren't interested in “diversity”.
IOW, instead of being the token black, Sam will now be seen as the token gay.
There's no way you can make these people happy. The Rams really stepped in it by selecting Sam. They're gonna be damned if they do and damned if they don't.
Make him their "premier" starter.
Please!
Sincerely, the 49'ers, the Cardinals, and the Seahawks.
Especially if the Rams want to petition the NFL to move out of St Louis.
The problem is, with the Cowboys defense as bad as it is, he might be their best defensive player if they signed him.
If “Redskins” offends the native population, why can’t an open homosexual offend a straight person? Or a Christian? Or a Jew?
