CBS to air 8 Thursday night games... This is good news for me since I don't have NFL Network...

Looks like we may have the first openly gay NFL player,if he's drafted or signed.

I feel this story will get overblown between now and the draft. He should get drafted in the third through sixth rounds based on his talent on the field, not his sexuality. I know that some won't view it this way and claim that if he is not drafted highly, it will be because of his coming out. Just wait and see how he performs at the Combine and his pro-day.

I feel like the gay thing should be a non-issue.

 

Why would he even feel the need to come out, if not for hype?

 

He's a football player. All that should matter is how good he is on the field. Who cares if he likes to kiss other guys in his spare time?

[Dragon66]

Johnny Manziel is telling the Texans that they will regret not drafting him first if they pass on him, then his agent announced he won't throw at the combine. Sounds a little full of himself to me.

[hamsterboy]

Dude's not all he's cracked up to be. Alabama and Auburn proved that.

I read that the Texans may draft Clowney and try to trade for Ryan Mallet. If there is any truth to this it makes perfect sense for both the Texans and Patriots. Watt and Clowney opposite each other? Scary. An NFL ready starter for what New England would probably ask for a bunch of fourth through seventh round picks? Sound familiar. The Patriots would then draft McCarron, Murray, of Metzenberger to sit for the next 2-3 years behind Brady.

 

If this were to happen, I would guess

1. Clowney-Texans

2. Watkins-Rams

3. Bortles-Jaguars

4. Bridgewater-Browns (they would have to take him instead of Manziel if he is there, I would think)

5. Manziel-Raiders (just because)

6. Robinson-Falcons

I don't think the Jags would pass on Manziel he has the it factor to win games. He has the heart to win and win now if he can survive the pass rush and the hits.

[fettman]

The rams would be a scary good team with Manziel.

[fettman]

I hope the Texans take him.

[hamsterboy]

I'm thinking Vick's done. Nobody took him as a free agent.

Somebody will end up signing, but they will wait until the market settles down for QB's so they don't have to pay him as much.

I really hope the Raiders are stupid enough to trade for Schaub...

Looking like the Jets might want him.

Because when you want to teach your young athletic QB how to have pocket presence, you go out and get a veteran to teach him how. . . Never mind, great idea, NY Jets.

[Nguyen_Dragon]

It looks like Schaub will be traded to the Raiders...

[hamsterboy]

Vick is in,Sanchez is out.

[Nguyen_Dragon]

I like the new extra point rule... Hopefully they decide to keep it...

[hamsterboy]

And then they do something stupid by banning players from "dunking" the football.

Its ridiculous... I say let players celebrate for a set time limit...

[Dragon66]

Vick is in,Sanchez is out.

And vice versa, Vick is out, Sanchez is in. At least they both still get to use their green sweatpants.

[hamsterboy]

Rumor has it a group of investors want to get Donald Trump on board with them to buy the Bills.

[hamsterboy]

Now the rumor has it Jon Bon Jovi wants to buy the Bills.

[hamsterboy]

Wow. Look at all of the teams passing on Manziel. Is anyone going to take him in the 1st round?

[hamsterboy]

Browns finally take him at 22.
