EARTH CITY, Mo. -- The St. Louis Rams released defensive end Michael Sam on Saturday, according to multiple league sources.

Sam's efforts to become the first openly gay player in NFL history came up just short in a competition against undrafted rookie Ethan Westbrooks.

Westbrooks is one of nine defensive linemen to land a roster spot.

Sam officially hit waivers Saturday at 4 p.m. ET when all NFL teams had to trim their rosters down to the league-mandated 53 players. From there, the other 31 teams will have 24 hours to put in a claim for Sam.

Very true.
And being weak and slow (at least at the combine) does not portend success on special teams.

If that ever happened Lombardi would turn over in his grave.

Merry Christmas, Emporium! Merry Christmas, you wonderful old Building and Loan!

As quickly as time is flying by, it really won't be much longer until George, Mary, Uncle Billy and the rest of gang will reappear in glorious black and white.

uhh... they drafted him. And knew he was a homo when they drafted him. So why would they waste a draft pick on someone they were going to “discriminate” against?

Lighten up Frances. No one is suing anybody.

I don’t think Sam was cut because he sucked. You don’t play football at NCAA Division I level if you suck. But just because you can start at Division I doesn’t mean you can play at the NFL level. Michael Sam is a talented football player, but not talented enough to make the leap to the pros. That’s why he was cut. Not because he was gay. But because he doesn’t have the skills to play in the NFL.

There are by now plenty of Vets who have been cut today that will get
a team before Sam. For example, Denver cut Kevin Vickerson, a really
good vet. He will get the call before Michael Sam gets the call.

Since he got cut by the Rams, maybe he can fill a hole for the Packers.

Could you just imagine what TJ would think if he saw one of our modern day prisons, cable TV, internet, exercise equipment, and in general loafing around for years?

Labour? That's cruel and unusual dude! U.N. says I gots my rights!

I am so glad that he did not support punishment for suicide.

Thomas Jefferson may have occasionally gone off the deep end on some topics, but he was one smart cookie.

Yep, you have to earn your keep. In college Sam didn’t have to hustle on special teems. The good ones like special teams too.

This thread has me thinking of Jon Voight’s character on Showtime’s “Ray Donovan”. Last week he asked the following to a gay man standing with his other son who had been abused by a priest as a child: “What is the difference between acne and a priest? Acne waits until a boy is 14 before it comes on his face.”
