McMahon Football League - Rams agreed to draft Michael Sam to avoid Hard Knocks

Kind of ridiculous if true.

A longtime NFL reporter revealed Wednesday the NFL agreed to a deal where the Los Angeles Rams — then St. Louis — didn’t have to do HBO’s “Hard Knocks” series in 2014 if they drafted Michael Sam.

“Sources say NFL agreed not to have Rams on Hard Knocks in 2014 if they drafted Michael Sam,” Howard Balzer tweeted.

Special treatment.

Some people want it and some people get it.

collusion isn't allowed under the CBA unless teams are ordered by the league to collude and not draft westbrook so that the rams can sign him as an UDFA in exchange for drafting sam. love the NFL.

Hold up

So if this is true, they traded the distractions of being on Hard Knocks, for the distractions of having the first openly gay player on an active NFL roster. Makes sense to me.

I don't know if it's true or not. However, I believe having Sam on the team was less of a distraction. They knew they would cut him...
