Sam...I Am

Leave it to Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys to make a splash in the Michael Sam media reality show.

Today the Cowboys signed Sam to a practice squad contract.  Worth roughly $96,000.  What Jerry is really hoping for is the sale of Sam's jersey...to the tune of a few thousand. And the media circus that will follow.

Jerry loves attention.   His team is not very good.   Sam...was a decent college player... but got beat out in St. Louis...by better players.   He is not big enough to be a defensive lineman...not fast enough to be an elite linebacker...A...."tweener".

We here were rooting for him.  But this is a business.  Gay Pride...does not make the NFL. 

Sam...we applaud you for trying.

Men...Loving...Men

The NFL made history today in their annual draft.  The Saint Louis Rams selected a gay guy as the 249th pick.

Michael Sam...the SEC defensive player of the year...finally got the call.  

32 NFL teams though Sam was not better than the other 248.

Which brings us to this.   Sam...maybe a decent player...but.

What locker room wants to see this?  And go into battle ...with that?

Black Gays...In the Pros?

Black gay guys in pro sports?  Yes there are.  And you know...and I know...there are way more than just the 2 who have come out.

Your thoughts?  

Looks like they could be dating each other...Just saying.

Jason Collins is the first openly gay "active" basketball player. Collins has an endorsement deal with Nike; however, he is not currently on any NBA roster. Hum, could it be that he's just not good enough?

Michael Sam an All-American defensive lineman from Missouri and the Associated Press' SEC Defensive Player of the Year, said that he is gay. He has aspirations for going pro and is eligible for the NFL draft in May. Let's see if he's good enough to play in the NFL.
