Worth it for the last 30 seconds alone when he puts Sam in perspective with other NFL player controversies.

First thing first, I think it's a good thing.

Second, I think it was smart to announce this prior to the draft rather than afterwards, because there would be a chance to prepare whichever team for this, as opposed to dealing with it afterwards.

The circus goes away at some point.

I'm sure way back certain owner/GM/media typers thought Jackie Robinson was a distraction as well...it's a BS argument.

Let me man play on his abilities and merits and if the organization is stand-up, then if his football ability is not up to snuff and he's released so be it.
