Michael Sam is straight and just made up this whole gay thing for the $$$ and Tim Tebow is probably an atheist.

I didn't realize he was SEC defensive player of the year.  I read he was projected as a mid round selection.  He probably would have been on the cover of SI anyway.

Arthur Brown as Big 12 DPOY last year, and projected late 1st - early 2nd. You think he would have been drafter earlier if he had announced he was gay?

In this new age, it's nice that the Omaha World-Herald is there to remind everyone that above all else, Nebraska football rules.

Keep in mind this was 2003. This was a mere five years after two men had kidnapped a 21-year-old college student named Matthew Shepard in nearby Wyoming, tied him to a fence post and bludgeoned him with such violence that the passing bicyclist who found the fatally beaten young gay man there at first mistook him for a scarecrow.

And this was the locker room, of all places. Where we wash off the blood and sweat after we crush Kansas State and Texas Tech, and where we talk about girls, and where we call a gay man what he really is. Right?

To be a journalist in Nebraska do you have to be willing to ignore facts the same way that some newspapers would require you to get them right?

He didn't ignore the main fact, which was that a former husker came out on the radio this past week, necessitating a column about that fact including nebraska's football legacy.

And seeing as the majority of America views this Sam news as good, just know that Nebraska did it first.

There was a lot that was weird and would have been weird if he was hetero. I need to know why ESPN went to a live shot of a gay bar, WTF was that?

Absolutely. I saw people tweeting about the kiss and I thought that was a pretty cool moment, then I watched the video and was like  :Ugh:


Anyone see Case McCoys tweet about the situation? What an unconfident loser.

If a straight guy and hot woman kissed that much Twitter would have blown up too, remember Jan Vesecly at the NBA draft two years ago?

What did the fugly McCoy tweet?

Watching "the kiss" probably made him feel uncomfortable.  Maybe he should have put his phone down to change the channel.
