But if they honestly think that my might contribute and want to take a chance, whatever. You use every weapon at your disposal, even if it's FABULOUS.
If he's just not good enough then he won't make it, no matter how much the media wants him to.

IRVING, Texas (CBS St. Louis/AP) — Michael Sam waded through a crowd of reporters and was settling in front of yet another bank of cameras when someone asked if this was what it was like in St. Louis.
“The heat?” Sam said, drawing laughter from two dozen or so people surrounding him as he stood in front of a large Dallas Cowboys star on a wall just outside the locker room.
No, the latest version of the circus after the league’s first openly gay player signed to the practice squad of America’s Team. He’s unlikely to get into the opener Sunday against San Francisco and might still face long odds of joining an active roster anytime soon. But Sam got his second chance to make it in the NFL four days after the Rams released the seventh-round pick when they had to cut the roster to 53 players.

Yeah, limply throwing the ball into the dirt in front of you and giving out excited cries when you get tackled is probably a good indication you aren’t ready for the prime time.
Ummm...what he said.
Y’all should read this with a critical mind and realize what REALLY happened here.
Jerry Jones is not about winning. He is about publicity, nothing more.
Reminds me of the old joke: The two happiest men in the Navy are Patrick Fitzjohn and John Fitzpatrick.
See Post #11.
His boi Tony Homo and Sam will be quite the pair.
Well Jerry said, “I want me some glory hole”.....Looks like he got it.
He’s a showman...Jerry that is
His big hair daughter too
Come to the homosexuals emotional rescue and the media will fawn over you
That sort of thing....
My dad played pro ball with Frank and Y.A.
Same spots as Sam with similar perfomance honors
He decided flying F-100s was mo better
What's this got to do with Tony Romo? ;)
Sounds like Jerry thinks he’ll fit in fine...
I mean...never mind.
My theory all along has been that Sam suspected he wasn't NFL caliber, so he "came out" as a means to gain an advantage through affirmative action - hey, affirmative action got Hussein through Columbia, Harvard and into the white hut.
This is going be interesting in Cowpokes locker room this season LOL!

i’m in the football business and can tell you this with all truthfulness; people made all kinds of excuses for Sam’s crap workout at the combine but a number of defensive linemen in his combine group said confidentially they thought Sam was out of shape and doggin it, with some saying they thought he’d file a lawsuit for discrimination if he did not get drafted...
Yep, I believe it.
And so does everyone else.

Thanks for your comments, B2!
It’s been really tiresome reading all of the Cowboy-bashing comments the past day or so. .....Some people don’t understand that the defensive line for Dallas is in really poor shape. A couple of more injuries there would be a major blow. ....If the coaches can upgrade Sam’s performance skills as a DE, he could easily be moved to the playing roster to replace an injured player.
I’m as hetro as can be, but it’s become very boring to read all of the anti-gay jokes and comments. The NFL, like other major sports leagues, has had gay players for decades.
Libs already screaming homophobia was the real reason the Rams dumped him. We all knew this would happen.
