    I didn't suggest it. I was just wondering if it would bother you.

    It's the NFL. Good players get drafted late all the time.

    I've been a Rams fan my entire life. You stuck with the Blazers through all the recent rough patches, that should be some pretty good practice for rooting for the Rams, lol. Welcome to the bandwagon, Eric! Glad to have you aboard!

    The Rams are on an upward trajectory, but the NFC West is just so damn tough!

    May I point out that Jackson Jeffcoat, Big XII player of the year and son of NFL great Jim Jeffcoat, wasn't drafted in any round? Is it because he hasn't come out as being gay?

    Man, this board is sure growing up. Proud of you guys. Not one comment about the irony of Sam and the team that drafted him.

    Oh, wait.

    And no mention of his number being 96 instead of 69.

    Maturity FTW!

    Sam has already started filming a reality show on Oprah's network. Hopefully he makes the team. A 7th round pick with his own reality show. He just wants to be treated like everybody else!

    Just a dumb move, IMO. It will be tough enough for him to make the roster without these distractions.

    He had signed for the show prior to being drafted. The film crew was there for The Kiss. Likely it was scripted. Turns out his agent didn't tell the Rams about the reality show prior to the draft. The Rams basically threw away a draft pick on a guy who is more interested in being a celebrity than an NFL player. Telling a future employer that a TV crew is going to be following you around all summer probably would have been a good idea.

    Ah. I just read the ESPN article on it. Sucks he didn't tell the Rams before they drafted him. That's not cool
