Simply put, “I am an openly, proud gay man,” the former Missouri defensive end say, adding: “I understand how big this is. It’s a big deal. No one has done this before. And it’s kind of a nervous process, but I know what I want to be … I want to be a football player in the NFL.” Michael Sam: I’m Gay Assuming Sam is drafted in May, he will accomplish this goal, becoming the first open homosexual to play professionally in America. “I didn’t realize how many people actually knew, and I was afraid that someone would tell or leak something out about me,” Sam said . “I want to own my truth. … No one else should tell my story but me.” Sam also said that his Missouri coaches and teammates have known about his sexuality since August. What was it like to come out to those around him at that time? “I was kind of scared, even though they already knew,” he said. Just to see their reaction was awesome. They supported me from Day One. I couldn’t have better teammates. … I’m telling you what: I wouldn’t have the strength to do this today if I didn’t know how much support they’d given me this past semester.” Last year, Jason Collins became the first active NBA player to admit he is gay.

I’m Michael Sam: I’m a college graduate. I’m African American, and I’m gay,” he said to conclude his ESPN interview. “I’m comfortable in my skin.”

Sunday night’s Super Bowl XLVIII result was certainly a joke, but was it rigged? The online conspiracy theorists are swarming following the lopsided outcome. The Seattle Seahawks didn’t just beat the Denver Broncos, they absolutely demolished them in every conceivable facet of the NFL championship game. It was not as close as the score suggests … and the score was 43-8. Super Bowl Rigged? Obviously, this has given way to the obligatory chatter that the Super Bowl was rigged, and Huzlers, site with an Onion-like penchant for satire, fueled the fire. Huzlers posted a “breaking” story this week with the headline “Super Bowl XLVIII Believed to Have Been Rigged and Currently Under Investigation by NFL.” Because few people know what Huzlers is, people believed this. The story claimed NFL officials “found clues that might prove the game was rigged” and imply Denver “lost the championship in exchange for a large amount of money.” The report goes on to say that ref Terry McAulay overheard Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning asking Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, “When are you going to pay up?” Of course, there is no evidence that the game was fixed or rigged, despite the first snap of the game almost decapitating Manning in hilarious fashion. Huzlers identifies itself as “a combination of real shocking news and satire news to keep its visitors in a state of disbelief.” It’s clearly not a real story. Still, the mismatch was almost laughable, and Denver’s comedy of errors – see video above – certainly made it look like they weren’t trying at times. Seriously, were they even trying to tackle the Seahawks? Did someone send hookers to the Broncos’ hotel the night before? Did they all see the Jamie Casino Super Bowl ad on YouTube and lose their focus? Rigged or not, something was definitely up.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is leaving the door open on medical marijuana use for pro football players. NFL Commissioner Open To Medical Marijuana Use For Players Via Fox News reports: Although it’s been legal to buy and use marijuana in Colorado since Jan. 1, smoking marijuana is still illegal under the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement. When asked if a player might ever be allowed to use medical marijuana in states where it’s legal, Goodell told ESPN.com he could envision a time when players use medical marijuana in states where it’s legal. “I don’t know what’s going to develop as far as the next opportunity for medicine to evolve and to help either deal with pain or help deal with injuries, but we will continue to support the evolution of medicine,” he said. He said he could envision a time when players use medical marijuana in states where it’s legal. His remarks were the first comments in the league about marijuana since 2012, when Washington and Colorado voted to legalize pot. Goodell also addressed the Jonathan Martin bullying case, concussions in the game and whether the NFL was ready for an openly gay player. On the latter, he said: “Yes. There may be, I don’t know, but the answer to that is yes.” Last week, Goodell also said he hasn’t ruled out a Super Bowl taking place overseas. “I want to grow the game,” he told the New York Post. Goodell said that London would get a Super Bowl only if it had an NFL franchise. Discuss…
