What’s this “nightmare situation?” Every team cut a whole lot of players during pre-season. They do that every pre-season. Cutting players who aren’t good enough is one of the purposes of pre-season. After the Cowboys signed him, owner Jerry Jones admitted that Sam “ is not ready to go at all.” Yet the NFL called around, and the Cowboys signed him.

Jones shouldn't have said he not ready to go at all............it makes Sam look like a pity signing. The truth is very few college players are ready to go full bore once they get into the NFL. Sam is no different.

What doesn't bode well for Sam is that Pete Carroll didn't look very closely at him. Carroll tends to go for smaller guys that other teams overlook...........guys he can get for cheap and then train.

As for the homophobia, the NFL is FOS..........there have been rumors about a number of players for years........the latest is Rogers of the Packers.

And the media needs to chill:

“You guys follow me around like hawks,” Sam said after going through his first late-morning workout with the Cowboys. “I’ve been tired of it since February. I expected it.”
