The fact that Collins hadn't gotten a contract in over 9 months influenced Sam's decision to think he would get one? They're not openly gay in the testosterone-driven world of NFL locker rooms. If you genuinely don't think it's a big deal, you're extremely unaware. The same things were said projecting Sam in college based on high school. Didn't work out that way. At some point, production matters in the equation. And as I said, even if you want to completely discount pre-combine rankings, take a look at the list I gave you with several prominent draft analysts who all expected him to be drafted at the beginning of last week. That's well after the combine. It helped him get drafted, even though he was considered a higher draft prospect prior to coming out? And by most after the combine? If it's acceptable, why hadn't any NFL player ever done it before? Sorry, if you're admitting to something that no other player currently employed in your league HAS EVER DONE, it takes some courage to do that. Just because it's "who you are" doesn't make it easy to tell the world. If that were true, why did it take 9 months? Why wouldn't a team have signed Collins during the offseason and take a full season's worth of "parading him around" and showing "how awesome they are"? It seems a whole lot more likely that the Nets signed him in February simply because they wanted one more defensive-minded veteran center to get ready for the stretch run -- a tradition that has gone on in the NBA for decades and decades. Charles Jones says hello.
Just like Sam's team at Mizzou, whom he came out to in August... and the team responded by having arguably the finest year in program history. 12-2, Cotton Bowl champs, SEC East champs, No. 5 in the final AP rankings. I think the Rams would love to have their "hands full" along similar lines.
So dude was licking cake off another dude in front of everybody. I don't think so pimpn. Sam is putting on a circus show bro. No need to force your relationship on everybody. But hey too each his/her own like I said.
His lifestyle in Columbia was not a secret whatsoever. He wasn't private about it. The other kids just respected his choices and didn't let it bother them. Whatever he does off the field is his business (provided it's legal ).
Im from the old school pimpn and I don't care to see to men kissing each other and licking cake off one another like that. But you right as long as dude brings it on the football field the rest doesn't matters. But you can best believe some of his teammates will fill uncomfortable.
Wow you two took a giant dump on this thread. Just email each other or something if you want to have an internet cat fight.
