Michael Sam Cut By The St. Louis Rams
NFL teams had to cut rosters down to 53 players by 4 p.m. today, and all eyes were on the Rams to see if they'd keep seventh-round pick Michael Sam.

ESPN Was Dumb, But Michael Sam's Showering Habits Do Matter

Michael Sam On Dungy: "Thank God He Wasn't The St. Louis Rams Coach"
Maybe Tony Dungy really should rethink whether he would draft a guy like Michael Sam because, for a player dealing with his first NFL training camp controversy, Sam responded to Dungy's I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin' homophobia pretty perfectly. He was funny, mildly self-deprecating, and even said ...
