How 'bout them Dallas Cowboys?!?! If Michael Sam passes a physical tomorrow,

they will sign him to their practice squad. That's the first big step.

I am not a Cowboy's fan but I will be rooting for them now. All of those other mealy-mouth chickenshits who said anonymously that they wouldn't because he was a distraction can go to hell!

I was seriously angry about how he was being treated. Everybody talked trash about him as if he was a junior college player who did nothing in the preseason. He deserved better than that.

I have no problems with the Rams. Their moves made sense. They have a large number of people who played where he played. They handled him with dignity.

@AdamSchefter:
Cowboys plan to bring Michael Sam to Dallas for a physical Wednesday, per team source. If all goes well, Sam will be a Cowboy.

The dog-kicking CEO of stadium caterer Centerplate has been forced to resign

Stadium catering company Centerplate will today announce the resignation of CEO Desmond Hague, 10 days after surveillance video emerged of Hague kicking and choking his dog in an elevator.

Centerplate, which handles food and beverage services for stadiums including Levi's Stadium, Qualcomm Stadium, Tropicana Stadium, FedEx Field, and the Superdome, had originally announced that Hague would be placed on probation, donate $100,000, and volunteer 1,000 hours with animal charities.

But today the Union-Tribune and Global News both report that following continued criticism, Centerplate has informed clients that Hague is being forced out of his job as CEO.

The video went viral and they got blasted.
Keith Olbermann kept bringing it up on his show.
