I find it super weird that graduating college athletes would actually give a poo poo about playing with gay team mates. Are there seriously that many homophobic 22 year olds?

Only question I
ever thought was hard
was do I like Kirk
or do I like Picard?
teams actually see the michael sam scenario as some kind of problem for the rams though. that is loving hilarious

the rams were poo poo because of jeff fisher and their bad players. i don't think a late-round pick considering getting a reality show had a whole lot to do with it

Was there ever any news that he couldn't get along with people in the locker room?

Nothing from college/the NFL that I remember, but I know it was reported that some of the dudes he played with in Montreal in the CFL thought he had an attitude/was better than the team. Of course that could've just been due to him not wanting to be there and being a minor celebrity.

The jock culture is more resistant to changes in that respect than society in general.

That being said, it's probably the coaches who have a bigger issue with it.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/14910241/roddy-white-says-atlanta-falcons-offensive-coordinator-kyle-shanahan-wanted-out-offense

Roddy White is talking about Kyle Shanahan at length.

quote:

"It was just episodes throughout the game where I think he mismanaged things and screwed up and we didn't have the opportunity to win the game, which, I thought, was on him as the offensive coordinator. It wasn't sound football, but it was things that he was used to doing and things we weren't used to doing as an offense, and it literally cost us like two games."

quote:

"Man, I talked to him just about every day about everything," White said. "But it's like, 'If I'm talking to you and it's not getting no better, what do you expect from me?'

Some of the details of his release:

quote:

White clarified the details of how the release occurred. He was in Saint Martin with his girlfriend Wednesday when his agent, Jonathan Feinsod, called him with the news. He received a call from coach Dan Quinn an hour later.

"I didn't answer because I didn't know it was [Quinn] call me until after I got his message," White said. "Then he sent me a text message, and I responded."

Quinn said the team released White on Wednesday so the veteran would have a chance to catch on with another team before the start of free agency. Quinn said he intended to meet with White face to face once White returned from Saint Martin.

"I'm literally done with that situation," White said. "I understand that coach wants to sit down and talk but for me, we're past that situation now. We really have nothing to talk about. You just move forward. They're going in a different direction, and I'm going in a different direction, so no need to cross that bridge again and talk about, what, the good times we had?"

In the NFL, Jackson said he coped silently with bouts of depression during his time with both the Seattle Seahawks and Lions.

He had 6 1/2 sacks in two seasons in Seattle, far from the numbers expected from the 28th overall pick, and was at times a magnet of criticism from fans.

Man, as someone who has depression, reading things like this sure makes me feel like poo poo for hating on players' performances like they are robots

Ex Cowboys RB Joseph Randle arrested for the sixth time in 17 months

quote:

Randle, 24, was booked into the Sedgwick County Jail in Kansas for failure to appear in court at 1:44 a.m. Sunday, according to jail booking records. Bond has been set at $150,000, although it’s unclear which previous charge this is related to.

This marks the sixth arrest for Randle in the past 17 months. He posted bail last week after being charged with three counts aggravated battery, one count of drug possession (marijuana) and one count of criminal damage to property on Feb. 21. In that incident, Randle allegedly hit three people with his car before forcing his way into a home.

Randle, who is from Wichita, Kansas, has had continued run-ins with the law since October 2014 when he stole underwear and cologne from a department store in Frisco. In February 2015, he was investigated for domestic violence allegations.

Randle also dealt with allegations he bet on sports last month, something he denied.
