Okay folks, call me homophobic if you want to. But The Bible CLEARLY says that homosexuality is an abomination unto God. The very fact that He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah should be more than enough to show how much God is disgusted. So why are we celebrating someone is chooses this kind of sinful lifestyle?? America is headed for God's judgement.

Man, judgement day used to be awesome when it was just one long day of nonstop apocalypse. But now, you just get the handful of people everyone already knew was the most pious getting raptured on day 1, and it's a long anticlimactic slog through the rest of the weekend until only the damned remain

He is fast, a pass-rusher, and can cover a lot of ground. I don't know why he translates to ILB over OLB...

He's going to be playing the buck spot. Assuming he starts this year at least. They drafted him to be a ILB and for sub packages.

I could definitely see him being their best pass rusher regardless of where he lines up at. Second best under Heyward maybe.

Not a phobe. I just think maybe these alternative lifestyles are better in the closet. All you TOLERANT freaks would like to watch some dude hump a Great Dane in public because your tolerant to beastiality?? Screw tolerance. I don't like people trying to force me to accept things I don't like. I have gay friends, but would knock one out if they tongued in front of me. By the way!! I strongly approve of gay and bi women.

He'll certainly never start barring injury but I guess I really don't know how the Rams are doing for backups. I mean my first impression was the same as yours but one of those idiots talking about him on ESPN as landing in the perfect place might have thought it for some reason other than worshipping Jeff Fisher and St Louis being in Missouri.

Langford and Hayes are both good backups, it's going to be really hard to crack that roster. It's cool that he gets to stay in Missouri and that he got drafted, but from a pure football perspective that's one of the worst teams he could have wound up on. He'd have been better off as a UDFA where he could try to a find a 3-4 team that was light on pass rushers.

Yeah that's what I was afraid of. Oh well, hopefully he can make a few nice plays in preseason and get a look somewhere else if he can't find a spot there.

Charlie Casserly talking about the various gay players on his teams that the lockerrooom knew about and didn't give a poo poo about.

But the media plague, that's why teams hate the gay.
It's the media itself generating the controversy for ratings. Sam was already out years ago but it wasn't covered then because tolerance isn't a juicy story. I hope Sam has an average uneventful year to bore the media away from the gay controversy.
