His patooty must have been hurting or something. He missed his man evidently.

QUEBEC — With each passing day, more and more conspiracy theories emerge concerning Michael Sam and why he requested permission on Friday to leave the Alouettes’ training camp for personal reasons.
And yet the mystery remains as deep, with no definitive statement emerging from the organization. Sam’s California-based agent, Joe Barkett, also remains mute since claiming in a text message to the Montreal Gazette late Thursday — the player’s first day missing practice — that Sam was suffering from a migraine.
The story will die down eventually, with Sam being nothing more than a footnote in Als history — the first openly gay player to be drafted by an NFL team, signed by Montreal amid unusual fanfare, and then failing to last three weeks with the Canadian Football League club.
Sam, a rush-end, has been put on the Als’ suspended list. While general manager Jim Popp says the door remains open for his return, another source within the organization virtually guaranteed the likelihood of that happening is non-existent. The source also chided Sam for appearing on the reality TV series Dancing With the Stars instead of preparing for the coming season.

“Everything that has been said is done,” head coach Tom Higgins said following Saturday night’s exhibition game against the Ottawa Redblacks. “A lot of things happened and unfolded. That’s not to be discussed. We’re putting that behind us.”
Popp added: “There’s nothing to tell you. He wanted to go home, and that’s what he did. I don’t know why. When a guy wants to go home, they go home. He had some personal issues to take care of.

After playing collegiately at the University of Missouri, being drafted in the seventh round by the St. Louis Rams and spending a month on the Dallas Cowboys’ practice roster, it was clear 6-foot-2, 260-pound Sam was having trouble adjusting to Canadian professional football. That included the yard off the ball and the two-point stance.

Hopefully this ends all that bullshite about him being treated unfairly by NFL teams. Hes not good and he's a massive distraction. If you're a distraction you better be able to play, and he can't. Period.

ESPN will do an investigative report on this claiming him not being accepted.

He's an untalented attention whore.He didn't come out so it wouldn't be a distraction,he came out to be a distraction and to divert his lack of talent.

Canada. Homophobic? Racist? Anti-USA?
The answer to all of those questions: yes. The Great White North is now The Great White Anti-Gay, USA-Hating North... more from ESPN's own Britt McHenry...

The real question is how embarrassing for the SEC for a gay yankkee no talent defensive end to run rough shot over the SEC and win DPOY.

I really thought Sam was going to make the Rams last year, he had a good pre-season. I'm thinking that football just isn't for him at this point.
