Allowed it? Hell, I’m sure they scripted it.
I suspect we’ll hear ESPN announce in a few days that they are going to have a Reality Show featuring Sam going through the Rams training camp.
That wouldn't surprise me in the least. That, along with Sam's whining about not being drafted in the 2nd or 3rd round, tell me this whole saga is laced with a lot more "agenda" than some are willing to admit.
