UPDATE: 6:52 p.m. -- In an email to The Huffington Post, Hansen said he's surprised at the response his segment unleashed. "Some people don't seem to believe this -- I honestly didn't think it was going to be that big a deal," he said, adding he's received more than 700 "overwhelmingly positive" emails from around the U.S. and one from a young high school boy in Canada.

When asked for his thought process on taking such a firm stance and then broadcasting it, Hansen responded thus: "I write only what I believe -- and I simply believe what I wrote. Seems like common sense to me -- nothing more or less."

5. Major Kudos to Dale Hansen.

Told it how it is, without trying to be apologetic for the homophobic bigots in the NFL.

6. I watched this carefully and my jaw didn't drop one millimeter

Of course, Sam is news, but big deal, get on with the draft and see where he lands, then see how he plays. Y'know, just like every other draft pick or rookie in the NFL. Some do very well, some do well, some do ok, some not ok. Let's see. And just forget these chickenshit GM bigots...they aren't worth paying attention to nor repeating. Go Sam.

8. I think he's awesome for doing this. "Raping someone & covering it up: we're ok w/ that!"

He knows.

the lesbian poet.
