Rams defensive end Michael Sam is getting a reality show.

The Oprah Winfrey Network announced today that it is working with Sam on a reality TV project that will show his life as the first openly gay player in the NFL.

“We are honored that Michael is trusting us with his private journey in this moment that has not only made history but will shape it forever,” Oprah Winfrey said in a statement. “I am proud of the focus on authentic storytelling in our new documentary series format.”

Finally, having open gays in the NFL can only improve the quality of all their fruity celebration dances and chest pounding postures. If someone from the 50’s saw an NFL game of today, they would probably think it was mostly played by gays anyway.

A bit off topic, but I wonder about the women who think this is “nice” and “cute” but resent the heck out of men who look to Latin America, the. Far East or Russia for a wife.

It’s all about positioning Sam for a career when his very short NFL career is over. I suspect the DNC has already contacted him about pursuing a political career.

Actually, you’re very much ON topic.

The “Americanas” can go to their queer friend “weddings”...then go home, alone, to a houseful of cats and yes, curse the men that “get it” and shop for imported models*.

Because the domestics, overwhelmingly, are worthless, unless “Sex and the City” trivia is involved.

*I’m not married, but eliminated domestic models from consideration years ago. I only consider and consort with imports.

One of the funniest stand-up comedy routines ever was by Bob Nelson at the 1984 Rodney Dangerfield Young Comedians Special on HBO. Nelson did his impression of “College Football All-Stars,” and one of the players spoke with a very effeminate voice and said that he was from the “University of San Francisco, tight end ... next year I hope to be a wide receiver ....” Absolutely hilarious (as were most of his other characters).

I hope it has the same “success” as O’s show on Lohan.

St. Louis has a homo mayor. I think maybe he was drafted because the Rams are looking to get a favor from the city.

I think Obama himself called and insisted that Sam be drafted before the end of Round 7.

“Here we go... “

Yeppers. The NFL has now become the all-homo league all the time.

A true Maine Woman might feel the same way. Large enough to provide shade in Summer, and warmth in Winter, she herself would perhaps consider anyone like you, being from "away," as an "import," and might rule you out.
