Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 can you please explain the bolded and where you sourced this information ? I'll give it a go...Fisher has been quoted in various media sources saying that DE's are typically not going to contribute much to special teams - I paraphrased that as "not fitting Fisher's idea of what a ST'er should look like....*rummage* can't find the original quote but here's one that I think pretty well summarizes Fisher's viewpoint that Sam was not going to be considered as a ST even though he willingly played ST in preseason. Heeee Haaaaw! I wonder whether Goodell applied any pressure for this to happen. @AdamSchefter: Cowboys plan to bring Michael Sam to Dallas for physical Wed. If all goes well, Sam will be a Cowboy. I think it's a good fit for him. I'm glad he's getting another chance.
RuntheDamnBall Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Means nothing. People who have a problem will continue to have a problem. You're basing that on...what, modern American society's and the media's ability to be rational and let go of an artificially hyped-up story? Yeah, sorry, i f---ed up there.
IDBillzFan Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Means nothing. People who have a problem will continue to have a problem. And the people who are using him to advance their own brand of social justices will also continue to do so.

Plus it serves his need for immediate attention this season. Jerry loves him some Jerry.

Plus it serves his need for immediate attention this season. Jerry loves him some Jerry. I was thinking this too. Jerry just secured his legacy amongst the sportswriters. When he kicks he'll be remembered as a hero for signing Michael Tham. Of course, I'm sure Huffpo's pissed that he stole their storyline.

GG Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 @MP2310 Jason Garrett on Michael Sam: We are spending too much time talking about a practice squad player. #Cowboys So basically Wood was right.
DC Tom Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Michael Tham? Are you serious? No, he he's theriouth.
Rob's House Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Michael Tham? Are you serious? Too thoon?

Rob's House Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Y'all are such manly men. Secure, too. It really is tathteless.
boyst Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 soo, just had to say I think it's a bit sophomoric that we have a gay guy going to the Big D. Y'all are such manly men. Secure, too. Tight, tight, tights! We're men. WE ARE MEEEENNNNNNN!

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 The first gay NFL player goes to a team named the Cowboys. Brace yourself for Brokeback Mountain references all over.
RuntheDamnBall Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 You know what y'all should do is videotape these zingers, send them to Sam, then go visit with him after practice. I imagine it would also make one feel like a real man.
