or is general consensus that Sam isn't NFL calibre / NFL still isn't ready for a gay player
actually think in a weird way that it might help his chances, as part of his pre-draft combine analysis was that he was too stiff and lacked fluidity
but yeah he's probably never going to get a real chance
― polyphonic, Tuesday, 24 February 2015 16:40 (nine years ago) link
if there was anything there at all marinelli would've hung on to him at dallas. he was a late draft pick probably shouldn't have been drafted, i don't think there is any reason to look for other reasons if he doesn't make it. it is possible that a team might've been put off from even bringing him in to take a look but really after being cut by stl there's nowhere better he could've hoped to have hit a practice squad than the cowboys.
― Roberto Spiralli, Tuesday, 24 February 2015 16:44 (nine years ago) link
I don't think any owner or coach at this stage is afraid to take on a gay player, because the NFL is all about $$$ and buzz. Sam just isn't ready yet (and his window will probably close by the end of the 2015 season).

To be honest with you, I would be lying if I didn't tell you that I was expecting the ball. Yes, I was expecting the ball. But in life, these things happen. Like I told a reporter after the game, it's a team sport."I had no problem with the decision of the playcalling. I mean, you know ... I think it was more of a ... how do I say this? When you look at me, and you let me run that ball in ... I am the face of the nation. You know, MVP of the Super Bowl ... that's pretty much the face of the nation at that point of time. I don't know what went into that call. I mean, maybe it was a good thing that I didn't get the ball. I mean, you know, it cost us the Super Bowl. I mean, I have full ... I have full confidence in my teammates to execute that plan because we've done it so many more times. But would I love to had the ball in? Yes, I would have."But the game is over, and I am in Turkey."

has anyone here been to a preseason game? haven't been to a falcons game in a long time and always enjoyed it but at the same time not interested in paying a hundred bucks for nosebleed seats. can see them play the ravens very close to the field (albeit in the endzone) for the cost of a quarter pounder and i figure that scratch whatever itch i have (it is better on tv imo) plus the falcons kinda have this weird preseason rivalry w/ baltimore. is it something where after the first quarter i'm going to be wondering wtf i was thinking?

ive watched a little of the pre-season, so eager ive been for the season to start. ive been immediately reminded that in football, with its requirement of complete commitment and utter disregard for personal safety, a non-competitive game hardly resembles the real thing. if youre literally paying 5 bux then of course you should go, you can always leave early.
― corbyn's gallus (jim in glasgow), Friday, 14 August 2015 20:36 (eight years ago) link
if the stadium was right there and it was no more than $20 i would rock up for a preseason game and leave at halftime, especially game 2 or 3. however, foxboro is a giant pain in the ass to get to and i think preseason tix start at $40 for the shitty seats.
― Roberto Spiralli, Friday, 14 August 2015 20:51 (eight years ago) link
