Dolphins Don Jones suspended for tweeting about Michael Sam

I don't know how good he is. Didn't he get 9 of his sacks against weak teams, do poorly at the combine or pro day and not play well at the senior bowl? I thought his stock was much higher and then dropped pretty quickly. Not saying he didn't deserve to be drafted, but I wouldn't have been shocked if he went undrafted. I won't be shocked if he doesn't make the Rams team and finds himself on their, or someone else's practice squad.

Not like he was Defensive Player of the Year in the SEC or anything

Correct. This combined with his "tweener" size/speed combo caused him to drop pretty rapidly. Still a draftable player here, not like when a high school team let's an autistic kid shoot 3's in a blowout.

Reread my post.

Not saying he wasn't draft-able. Just saying I'm not surprised he went 7th and wouldn't have been surprised if he hadn't been drafted. And you are right, he's small for a DE and a little slow for a OLB. That is another reason he dropped. Still rooting for him just to shut rams up.

He was the DPOY in the best college football league in the world ... not like we're talking about a charity case here. He deserved to be drafted, really unfair to suggest it was not merited. But one should not engage rams in a srs discussion to begin with. That was my first mistake.

yeah, think about it. All those college accolades and he was still only drafted in the last round by a team with 11 picks.

by a team with one too many DE's.

it is entirely possible that the whole thing was planned.

Typically players drafted in the NFL Draft only have college accolades to speak of. It is entirely possible you are a fucking moron.

nice play on words honey but you understand what I mean. Who's calling who a moron ? were you born in Georgia ? you know, the State that embellished thousands of high school letter grades to extort funding from the government

Yes. I was educated by that very school system. Not sure how that is pertinent to this subject. Please stay on topic.

now it will be cool for high school jocks to say they are gay even though they actually aren't LOL

Why's that?

Please reply with evidence.

because high school kids have always been influenced easily by stupid or contrived trends. MTV , steroids,leg warmers, energy drinks, roach clips with feathers,tattoos, etc et al

How is someones sexual orientation a trend?

Kids are highly influential. The more mainstream homosexuality becomes the more likely kids will experiment (JS, HS), not just athletes. But it's a real leap to go from here and say homosexuality is wrong.

To explain why I gave him "static" ... His favorite television show featured two dudes going at it for a good 45 seconds in a very graphic make out scene, about three years ago. So it comes across as false to me.

If he could handle it then, he can handle it now.

A few things here.

-"Looking" was renewed. And it sure is a quality show, it provides a realistic depiction of #findingyourself in your mid 20s. Also handles the delicate nature of relationships and love with aplomb.

-I already addressed television homo stuff on page one. When the dudes on "Looking" get it on, it's also weird & awkward to watch. Just like Sal Romano making out with a bell boy on Man Men (sorry Youk, spoilers, but blame NAHSTE he brought it up). It's not like I have to turn away, it's not like I think they should burn in hell, but it is awkward to watch. If that makes me a bigot or "backwards" or a conservative 30-something white guy, welp, if the shoe fits. Don't care.

-For you guys who can watch the gays get it without batting an eye, good on you I guess. If that makes you more cultured or refined than me because I think it's awkward, fine, I can live with that. I also think you're lying if you say it's the same as watching a man & a woman kiss, but that's not a hill i'm willing to die on because I don't care enough to argue about it. Whatever.

-As some of you know from other threads, I've had many, many gays in my home. None of them ever kissed or snuggled in front of me. Had they, I would have told them to cut it out, because it makes me a little uncomfortable to watch. If it were butch lesbians, i'd tell them to cut it out. If they were hot lesbians, I probably wouldn't care.Hetero, wouldn't care. Yes, I am a hypocrite. Again, short hair don't care. It is what it is. I'm tolerant, i'm liberal in my civil rights views, but watching it make me feel awkward & weird. I make no apologies for that.

Seen it and saw it coming, it was just a matter of time.

Color me shocked that you and bucky believe that being gay is a trend :dead:
