the st. louis rams who drafted him back in april in the 7th round. he was cut by st. missouri defensive end, s.e.c. co-defensive player of the year, he got signed by somebody else, he got picked up by the dallas cowboys. dallas has what could politely be called defense issues this year. they could really use mr. sam's pass rushing ability. they need defense, they picked him up. that said, he's michael sam. you may also know him in this context. >> i'm not afraid to tell the world who i am. i'm michael sam. i'm a college graduate. i'm african-american. and i'm gay. >> since that announcement, michael sam and will the league accept an openly gay player, that's become a sports media freakout beyond anything anyone could have imagined. and yet second guessing his talents and speculation about his showering habits, really, seriously? michael sam went to work, had a solid preseason, sacked johnny manziel. the sky didn't fall. now he gets to play football in texas. vince lombardi, whose trophy everybody was chasing, is from a different era. but he might have made a great coa

the st. louis rams, it was expected, to me, anyway, he would be released even though he lead the team in sackss, and snaps. they're stocked at defensive line. what is more disturbing, frankly, no other nfl team picked him up. a lot of nfl teams need edge rushers. he showed he can do that. it really does make you wonder about the way the nfl it market itself as being, you know, an organization that only cares about winning and the implication there's no homophobia here whatsoever. yet given some things that are being said anonymously by executives about they don't want to bring the circus to town if michael sam comes there. that says to me that homophobia exists in the national football league. >> does goodell need to speak about this with so many people like yourself questioning -- understanding the rams releasing him but questioning other teams not picking this guy up. if the numbers match and he can't produce on the field. >> one wonders. roger goodell within as we know, is hardly allergic to a camera and microphone. especially when it comes to shaping the image of the league. at the same ti
