Isn't Molly supposed to be taken at a dance club at night? Seems odd that someone would take it in the middle of the day at a horse race.

Well, considering every team except Dallas passed on the guy for their practice squads should say a lot. Also, he had his Rams roster spot taken by getting outplayed by a UDFA. How sad (and ironic) is that, after whining about not getting taken in the first 3 rounds. How about he just shuts his mouth and plays with a chip on his shoulder instead of whining? I hope Dallas signs him to their 1st team so Philly curbstomps them even worse than projected this year.

Time to stock up on D cells, eh?

Molly is supposed to be the pure version of MDMA, but like everything else, if you are buying from an untrusted source, it will be cut with someone. And, this even happened to Scandrick. The drug is usually cut with something, and amphetamines happen to be one of the cheaper things it can be. The real scary part is there are some chemicals from China that produce nearly identical effects as MDMA, but are super dangerous. And they are being sold due to the demand for molly being so high.


As far as Sam to Dallas, I don't mind it. We really need some more talent on our defense and giving a just humbled player a chance isn't a bad thing. And he might even end up being, like a lot of people predicted before the Rams drafted him, as a situational pass rusher.

Haha, no kidding. 😀 Weird how all of the people complaining about the Sam chatter are the ones constantly bringing him up. :hmm:

MDMA produces a feeling of euphoria and a mild psychedelic effect, so it isn't necessarily just for dance clubs. I believe it was developed for couples therapy originally, before being marked as a controlled substance.

Also, it is made from sassafras plant, similar to old root beer. =)

Its football news, nonetheless. I'm not tired of the chatter as long as it doesn't concern his sexuality.

I don't think so. Sam did have 3 preseason sacks and pretty much all of the moves Dallas made to help their D line are either on IR or didn't make the cut. They are hurting for linemen that can do anything, and giving this guy (who seems to have worked pretty good for St. Louis, but had issues overcoming their depth of DL talent) a chance isn't going to hurt anything.


Also, Michael Sam is from Texas, and Texas teams love Texas boys.

Sam had his roster spot stolen by an UDFA which is why he didn't make the team. Yet Dallas may be fielding one of the worst defenses of all time so I don't blame them for hiring this self-entitled scrub. "But I should have been taken in the first 3 rounds!". hahahaha, humble pie hath been served. Sure hope that Parks and Rec BA goes far in the real world. Maybe Yellowstone Park is hiring?

Nothing was stolen. Sam leveraged his sexuality and banked on an NFL team wanting to be seen as "progressive" and "brave" to get him signed to a roster spot. I will give Sam some props on having a solid tryout and preseason. Problem is, hundreds of other guys produced better overall results. The guy that took Sam's spot did it by leveraging skillset and work ethic.

Again, Jerry Jones, Master of the PR Stunt, will turn this into some type of publicity for Dallas. Sam may eventually emerge as a quality defensive player, get a roster spot, and have a fruitful career. My gut says he won't though.

I think he has been humbled by his experience in St. Louis. At least, I hope he has. There is really few downsides for Dallas in signing him to their practice squad. He costs them like $100k with no commitments if he doesn't work out. Best case scenario, he turns out to be good enough to make the roster and gets called up (which shouldn't be hard, considering their defense is abysmal and injured). and worst case, he practices against some OL and goes on his way.

Jerry Jones is gonna make a killing on those Sam jerseys. Great 100k investment.

Going to be a killing, as the assigned him a practice number that can't be his roster number, should he get called up. So, if you buy a current Sam jersey, if he gets called up, you're going to have to buy another!

Wrong, it was stolen because that was Sam's spot to lose since he was drafted (and claimed he deserved a top pick) and Westbrooks was not. Sam was outplayed by a guy that was working at Toys R' Us and has a stupid tattoo on his face. Considering the Cowgirls gave an offer to Westbrooks before he tried out with the Rams, it only makes sense that the Cowgirls would sign St.L's sloppy seconds, i.e. soon-to-be-WWE-star Sam.

Firstly, if you want people to take you seriously, leave the hyperbole at home. Secondly, Sam didn't have a "spot to lose" -- this isn't Jake Long or JaDaveon Clowney we're talking about here...we're talking about a 7th round freaking draft pick...those guys have no spots to lose.

Westbrook didn't steal anything, he was flat out better and more versatile, and EARNED his spot on the team.

This is garbage, primarily because minorities already have the chips stacked against them...there is no way he personally thought he could leverage being gay into an NFL job seeing that gay dudes aren't quite welcome in the lockeroom.

True, I did have this mindset earlier, but I cannot see how that puts him at an advantage seeing how scared NFL teams are of "distractions".

If anything, he was trying to get it out of the way so people won't be speculating about him when he's kissing his boyfriend, and outing him on their own terms.
