Michael Sam, the NFL's first openly gay player, has been named one of GQ's Men Of The Year as it emerges he could be recruited into the Arena Football League by Mötley Crüe front man Vince Neil.
Sam, 24, made history this year when he was drafted into the NFL's St Louis Rams after publicly revealing he is gay.
But he has yet to play a regular season game as he was dropped by the Rams in August, snapped up by the Dallas Cowboys days later, only to be dropped again in October, having never made it out of the practice squad.
His first signing prompted a letter from Barack Obama congratulating the NFL on 'taking an important step forward today in our Nation's journey' by drafting a gay player.
The latest potential lifeline for Sam, who has yet to play a regular season game, comes as Mötley Crüe's Neil builds the franchise's first ever squad for their debut season in 2015. Deemed to be too small to play defensive end in the NFL, the smaller scale of Arena Football could play to Sam's strengths. The singer told the Las Vegas Review Journal he plans to make the offer in the coming days. It is unclear whether Sam plans to accept the offer.

GQ....Gay Quarterly?
Forgot what GQ stands for. Go Queer? Got Queer? Gay Queen?
People actually still buy those crappy magazines?
Man of the year ?
I guess that begs the questions....is the the ex-ram Sam the man, a pitcher or catcher...?
I actually really don’t want to know....
It’s the National Enqueerer for the LGBT crowd
No, he is not. He has never been on an NFL regular-season roster or played in a game.
I guess GQ can choose whomever it wants. Personally, I think the “Man of the Year” ought to have actually accomplished something impressive during the year or at least be a MAN.
So I guess now for anyone to gain attention or notoriety, they just have to say that they like pounding dudes (or getting pounded) in the rear??
And the reason? He is the PC flavor of the month. He’ll gladly allow the pimps in the media to sell him as long as he can, because he doesn’t have much else.
If a bear craps in the woods...
Well, he is a man’s man...
Shouldn’t his 15 minutes be up by now?
Michael Sam lands GayQueer Men Of The Rear cover
There, fixed it.
You are correct.
He IS the NFL’s first openly gay “draft-pick-who-failed-to-live-up-to-his-pre-draft-hype”, though.
lol
I feel the same way about the Nobel Prize,but they gave one to Barry Obama for doing absolutely nothing.....

Black man’s answer to a back door action question.... its a good answer. Probably NSFW.
Michael Sam never even made it out of the gate as an active player. Oh, maybe he was a “player” all right, just not on the football field.
Tokens are such hard things to spend sometimes.
That's cool man. Whatever you're into.
