The Circus has come to Cleveland. And also, St. Louis. He (Michael Sam) came to St. Louis today, and by the amount of news coverage, you'd have thought it was the freakin' Pope.

2014 NFL Draft: Browns sell 1,500 season tickets after Manziel pick - CBSSports.com
Nah no one gives a shit about him.

Also there's that little thing that you should never trust a word out of Mary Kay the lying whore Cabot's mouth. Bitch lives to try and start controversy. Who I have no doubt in my mind probably started this rumor, she's had 3 stories about Manziel in the past 3 days.
Well you got me. Down here the prediction seems to be he'll be breating with a ventilator assist if he tries anything like he did in college in the pros.

Nah, its the AFC north. What's the chances he'll be crushed by gargantuan D linemen or pounded into the ground by hopped up berserker LB's? Oh, wait....RIP Johnny.

It ended up being a great trade for both sides. Smith was definitely worth 2 2'nd rounders for the Chiefs, and the picks the 49ers turned the trade into look very promising.
Baalke is damn good at drafting. It gives me hope that they can keep the team competitive after some of the stars start making big bucks.

I did not watch football then but Vince Young was a first round draft in 2006 and now he cannot get on any team? The dude blow out his knee's or arm or something?
He wasn't even good ever. He only won offensive ROY because of the hype. His actual stats were abysmal. "He just wins." God I hate that argument.

Hayden got paid. Still not convinced he is as lock-down as everyone claims he is I think he's benefiting from this superstar aura. I see him commit PI and/or illegal contact almost every single down.

That's what every elite cover guy does now. It won Seattle a Super Bowl. They won't call it every down so you get away with it often enough to make it worth it.

Pretty much this. And this is coming from a Seattle fan. Our DBs do get handsy for sure.

Johnny Manziel leads rookie jersey sales, Michael Sam is No. 2 - CBSSports.com

Manziel has more jersey sales than Luck, RG3, and Tebow combined on their draft weekends.

Sam sells 2nd most jerseys, with 2 less days to sell jerseys since he was picked on the last day of the draft

Both are quite impressive
Seems like a pretty good deal for them for a lower round draft pick even if he only lasts a year and who knows maybe he winds up doing well in the NFL and then it is win win for them.

I get the NFL had to do what they had to do to protect the name, his comment was definitely not constructive. I dont quite like that the NFL is basically telling you how you have to feel in the public's eye. I don't know, maybe if he brought out his opinion in a less derogatory way they wouldn't have fined him. Time will tell.

I wonder when they'll announce who will be on Hard Knocks this year? I googled it and the first thing I saw was that the NFL wasn't going to force any teams to do it. My reaction was just, "Fucking hell," as I figured that meant no one this year (after last year was such a struggle to find a team).

But apparently my reaction was pre-mature, as the article stated that several teams have expressed interest in it.

Sounds like the only team ruled out so far is the Giants.

Someone posted about it awhile back, there are some arbitrary rules like the nfl can't "force you", but if no one volunteers and it was something like if you haven't won a superbowl in the last 5 years and maybe some other silly rules then you may be voluntold to be on the show.
