Balzer: Rams Drafted DE Michael Sam In 2014 To Avoid Hard Knocks

[OldSchool]

If this is true then the Ram officials that made this deal need to fired. Total embarrassment if true. The Rams are now the laughing stock of not only the league but entire sports world. This is the last thing the Rams needed. And thanks Goodell the fool.

Drama queen much? We've seen the war room cam of that draft and heard the on hand account of Michael Silver from the war room. If anything keeping the HardKnocks cameras away from Michael helped him. Keeping the focus on trying to make the team and not on the media circus that followed the pick. And let's be honest the media in this care only about their clicks and headlines they don't give a damn about Michael Sam.

If he made the team this would be a non story. Even if the deal was made, so what. It gave him a chance to make a team. More than 31 other teams gave him. And how many 7th rounders make the 53 now days?

Lolz. I wonder what the "shield" gave Dallas for signing him to their practice squad.....

Mike Florio discusses the report that the NFL allegedly asked the Rams to draft Michael Sam and considers what other actions might have been taken. Florio doesn’t know if that was true, but Peter King reported that after Sam was cut the league had been calling around to convince some team to sign Sam to the practice squad….as the Cowboys ended up doing.

Haha that Florio report was comically bad. He just mixed together a bunch of words and said absolutely nothing.

Florios hatred of the Rams and especially Fisher and Williams is just amazing.

Rich Eisen @richeisen
My colleague @MikeSilver was in the room when the Rams drafted @MichaelSam -- does he think a conspiracy was afoot?

Howard "ilikeallzer" had to take one last shot at the Rams before they left.

I think today is the last official day in STL.

 

[dieterbrock]

Its a bit embarrassing how the "Jilted ex" look befits some of the media folk.
This is such a non starter

Balzer thinks he's Carl Bernstein, apparently.

Let's you and I split the shits and get on with our lives. Deal?

What's next from Balzer and the rest of the "there's nothing to report this time of year and btw we're still mad about the Rams moving" gang? Here's one of them in action.

 

[RhodyRams]

OK, so lets say the Rams did draft Sam to avoid Hard Knocks


1) Camp was pretty much a media circus anyway with or without HBO cameras there. Didnt Oprah send her own crew in to do a story and Fish said now way.

2) Why would the Rams draft someone, and then keep him around until the last round of cuts? I mean, if I were the coaches I would be "why waste a spot on this guy for another mont

Way to get your facts straight, Ball-less.
