ESPN openly admitting this had nothing to do whatsoever with athletic talent. They're saying that no matter how untalented he was to play at an NFL level, he had to be in the NFL anyway.

“Good Morning America” correspondent Chris Connelly talked with horror novelist, turned religious fiction writer, Anne Rice on Thursday about how friends reacted to her becoming a “Jesus freak.” Though the interview was a friendly one, Connelly did ask, in a jovial tone, what it was like when friends said, “’Oh, my gosh. She’s out of her mind. Oh, no. Look, she’s become a ‘Jesus freak.’”

I would gladly boycott ESPN, the NFL and the NBA... unfortunately I’ve already stopped watching them.

In another age the fact he was drafted by the Rams would have been fodder for late night TV.

I can now see why I never watch ESPN. It’s the girlyman channel for “openly gay” homosexuals.

Well when this mediocre player gets destroyed playing a real game against real men then what will they say?

Are they going to sue the player that takes him out?

Or will everyone be required totackle him nicely?

And if he gets AIDS are you going to let him play and bleed all over everyone?

ESPN can always hire him as an announcer. He doesn’t even have to be qualified. Just do it.

If ESPN is so hidebound to demand Sam be a member of an NFL TEAM, regardless of talent, perhaps their demands of homosexuals be included should be expanded to the NHL, MLB, NBA, and to ESPN themselves.

You can bet next season the Rams will come from behind in most of their games.

Several knowledgeable people I know have said that it might have been better for Sam not to be drafted and then become an undrafted free agent. He might then be better able to sign with a team where the competition is as tough.

Read the following:

I heard one person on radio say “What’s the difference if he kissed a man or a woman?” Some people really don’t get it.

I sure wish Fox Sports 1 would get their act together. The market is dying for an alternative. Anytime I turn it on, it’s something very specialized or Mike Frecesca’s boring radio show. We just need a ESPNnews type loop and the ratings would rise.

This mess is just little more strange than just about a same sex relationship.

The boyfriend, Vito Cammisano, is the grandson of Willie 'the rat' Cammisano a former enforcer (aka; 'hit man') in the KC mafia. Willie got his nickname because of his reputation for dumping 'his kills' into the sewer system for the rats to consume.

Even more strange about the relationship is that the mafia is known to be VERY bias against (and unaccepting) of both blacks and homo's.

ESPN is  'Unworthy of Contemporary Society' If Sam is not appointed as a sportsanchor for the upcoming football season.

What's that, ESPN? You're not willing to hire him for that anchor job because he lacks the talent and charisma?
