    T.O pretending to video tape the field after a TD during the SpyGate thing was funny to me. What it made it funnier to me was it wasn't even when he was playing the Pats. I guess it's mocking a whole team rather than a celebration though.

    T.O has a boatload of funny celebrations whether it be mocking a celebration like the Lewis dance, a situation like SpyGate, or running 50-60 yards to place the ball in the middle of the Dallas star.

    It was hilarious when Chad Johnson was following that ref around with a dollar bill

    If Sam gets cut, he will be on the practice squad or claimed by another team #bookit

    Kind of expecting NE to have a claim on him, we have an all-pro potential starter and a very solid starter, but the depth at DE describes "project" at best. Sam could definitely challenge for top reserve DE role in NE. NE will also shut the media out like almost no other.

    Kinda shocked Sam got cut. From what I saw he seemed to have a solid preseason. But then again networks arent going to show him struggling.

    Maybe the Rams didnt want the circus all season. Makes sense.

    I think he got cut because the Rams were so deep at D line

    NFLN "experts" were saying Sam's build and skill set don't lend themselves to special team duties. If he can't contribute on ST's he can't play for the Pats.

    That's nonsense, but it is rare that non ST contributors get a shot, I'll agree.

    Sam looks like he can be a good pass rushing specialist but he'll have to play onspecial teams to stick on an NFL roster. He should get picked up by somebody, the Rams D not easy to crack.

    Well there goes the PR for the Rams. Hopefully he catches on with San Francisco.

    He's a Dlineman, they usually don't play special teams.
