Michael Sam thinks he'd still be in the NFL if he didn't come out.
He might be right to a point, but he's mostly wrong.
Would he be somewhere playing as a backup if he wasn't gay? I tend to say yes. As a rookie and 7th rounder, he would have been much cheaper than a veteran.
Would he be out of the NFL and the CFL (an important point to remember) if he was a monster player? Fuck no.
Coaches aren't going to risk their jobs by not keeping a great player just because he is gay. If Peyton Manning was gay, he'd still have the same career path.

If Cleveland wanted to piss away $9M over the next two years, they could have just given it to me.
Bowe's comprehensive lack of production is especially troubling after the 31-year-old signed a two-year, $12.5 million deal in March with an ungodly $9 million in guarantees.

Hitting the free agent auctions this week. Going heavy on Karl Williams and decent on Rishard Matthews. Might be able to pry away TY Hilton from someone if I convince them Sproles/Mathews is worth a shit with Demarco being on his period and all.

NFL appeal on Brady's corrupt ruling won't be heard until well after it matters unless the New England Cheating Bitches make the Super Bowl. Even then, they'd have to make a decision in under a week.

Cleveland continues the award winning QB strategy of "buy mediocre guys cheap." No word on when they're going to hunt down a Dr. Frankenstein-type chap that combines all three of them into one average QB who might approach a level of competency which I'll describe succinctly as "Culteresque."

Brown did drop a TD, so it's not all Vick's fault.
I think Vick looks ok. Except for the back to back sacks he just took.

Flaccid Flacco looks like he's worth every penny of that contract. On the plus side, Forsett's not dead but I benched him.
Hey, maybe you only want 106 yards from your QB on Tone Loc's team. Downtown Tony Brown wants more.

Mike Tomlin or Todd Haley is a fucking idiot.
4th and 2 so they bench Bell who's tearing up the Baltimore D and let a 35 year old QB run to the outside...
I hope they lose so they can get grilled over that stupidity for the next week.

But come the fuck on, start throwing to your bell cow wideout.

4th and balls. Let's see what happens. Ah, Vick can't fucking throw. This is amazing. I start Antonio Brown against the second shittiest pass D in the NFL. 5 points. I bench Forsett against the #1 run D and miss out on 15. And the Steeler run D collapsed.

Vick can't throw? Who gives a fuck? Give the fucking ball to Bell!!! He's the best damn player on the field and two 4th downs and you don't give it to him?

Just realized fucking Haley also ran the play to Vick's non-dominant hand side, so that's why he was turning his body.
Fucking joke.
They'll be lucky to win a single game without Ben's talent making up Haley's shitty play calls.

I was actually pulling for the Steelers last night. Just seeing the Ravens go 0-4 would have been fantastic. But now they're next game is the Browns and that will be a two game win streak and will turn their season around..

Cody Parkey: The Eagles kicker is out for the year after tearing all three muscles in his groin. This will probably curtail more than his football activities.
