Michael Sam

Said he would be in the NFL if he didn't come out as gay.

I thought the only reason he got drafter was because he came out.

Probably a bb2n.

The only reason he came out as being gay was to try to make it in the NFL. I firmly believe this was a calculate move on his part.

Stating the obvious here in the NFL, talent trumps everything. Its why TO was able to play for so long and Greg Hardy is still in the league, also why Ray Rice can't get a job

I blogged my thoughts about this topic here.

If I recall correctly, Sam had a really terrible combine.

Gays want equality and to be treated like everyone else....except when things don't go their way, then they'll lean on their sexual preference as a crutch. Reminds me of lots of groups in this country.

 

[TheFoyeEffect]

Michael Sam's stats during his senior year were inflated by the fact that Mizzou had three other defensive linemen who were drafted in the first or second round in 2014 and 2015. If the weakside end is drawing double teams, then the strongside end is going to be freed up to make plays. That's what happened.

He also played poorly at the Senior Bowl and ran an extremely slow time for a defensive end at the combine.

Foye, true his combine times were slower than you'd like but these stats don't tell the full story. Michael can plug the gap like few others, which he didn't really get a chance to show at the combines.

For Two Decks, is that a shot across his own bow?

Well, it was a tennis ball. And he used a fungo bat.

Two decks needs to man up and pay a higher tax rate than his secretary.

 

[NickleDimer]

Why are you so bitter about your tax rate, adp? Is it:
a) the nature of your work requires you to keep everything "above board"
b) you failed at lobbying for better rates
c) you failed at lobbying against TwoDecks' sweet private equity tax rates
d) you're not bitter. you wear your high tax rate as a badge of honor.

burrs you are better than that

burrs you are better than that

No one is immuned to a harmless BB2N. Simply reading the thread in order and hadn't read ND's post yet. It happens. Wait. It happens everywhere.

 

[NickleDimer]

Given the information available to him at the time, burrs made the best post possible. Can't fault him for that.

I am not bitter. Two decks and his people hired a bunch of great lobbyists to alter the tax rules. Cap tip. However, he can't complain about politicians as a result. Although, in fairness to him, it was the dems who saved his people. Northeast and cali dems love fat cats like td.

 

[NickleDimer]

So... your answer is C. At least your are taking the Nats implosion better than that L.

I hate all politicians, but I love lobbyists
