It would help if Sam were a better player. Jackie Robinson kicked ass. It was readily apparent that he belonged in mlb.

Didn't Sam win defensive player of the year in the toughest conference in the league?

That's true. Still weird to think of Missouri as an SEC team. They'll always be Big 8 to me.

well, co-defensive, and unsurprisingly, post-season football awards aren't the gold standard in how good a player is.

Grunching this thread, but yes, if the NFL wants to market itself to mainstream America in post 2014, it will have to be cool with openly gay players.

Super weird in basketball. I grew up watching Mizzou getting kicked around in football and the football team beating anybody other than Kansas strikes is unusual.

The St. Louis Rams announced Saturday that Michael Sam, who made history as the first openly gay player to be drafted into the NFL, has been waived and did not make the team's final 53-man roster.
