  1. Don't know how many people actually watched/listened to the presser with Grigson, but I didn't get the impression that they're leaning toward keeping him. His last words on that topic were "it's for the organization to know, and for you all to find out when the time comes." 

     

    I hope it's not wishful thinking on my part, but I didn't think he was suggesting that Satele is going to be on the team. ::fingers crossed::

     

    Yeah, something is going on there.

  2. You know that Alex Mack is a white guy right? I might be reading that you wrote wrong, but you seem to be implying that Farmer might convince him to say because they share common "racial make-up and cultural backgrounds."

    Ehhh steer clear of trying to discern what I could've possibly implied and roll with what I actually typed. Otherwise someone'll come along and get their panties in a twist. Then I'll have to weed through that nonsense again. Once a week is enough for me.

    Dustin, I seriously thought Mack was black! LOL

  3. Wait.. what?

    You're going to have to explain that one for me.

    Yeah my grammar there was brutal. Nevertheless, the gist is having another brother explain HIS vision going forward could help ease Mack's mind. Not a guarantee but anyone implying there's no possibility that the racial make-up and cultural backgrounds of people can affect how they do and do not communicate are probably being intellectually dishonest.

    Not saying it will matter here...but pointing out it shouldn't be underestimated.

  4. Per PFT:

    "Pete Thamel and Thayer Evans of SI.com spoke to eight NFL executives and coaches, none willing to put his or her name to their opinion of a man revealing part of his identity, on Sunday to find out how Sam’s choice to take that on will affect his position in the draft.

    Because Sam had come out to his teammates already, one person Thamel and Evans spoke to said that 90 percent of teams already knew and had dropped Sam on their draft boards as a result. Others said that the NFL would be ready for an openly gay player “in the coming decade or two” and that being openly gay would “break a tie” with another player going before Sam. An NFL assistant said Sam’s move was not a smart one.

    “You shouldn’t have to live your life in secrecy,” the assistant coach said, “but do you really want to be the top of the conversation for everything without ever having played a down in this league?”

    Thamel and Evans also spoke to a scout who said Sam was overrated because he inflated his stats against inferior competition inside and outside the SEC and Peter King of TheMMQB.com spoke to a G.M. who thought Sam would go undrafted (and two who didn’t seem to think it was that big a deal), but the consensus seemed to be that the same player with a girlfriend or no public sign of sexual orientation would go higher than Sam will go in this year’s draft."
