Michael Sam's former rep rejected interviews with a poem
When Michael Sam announced he was gay ahead of the NFL combine last year, he became the biggest story in sports, and as such a great number of reporters were hoping to interview him.
One of those reporters was The MMQB's Robert Klemko, who shared the Seussian denial he received from Sam's then-publicist Howard Bragman.
I am the rep for Michael Sam
I amHe would not like to chat with the press
In a suit or in a dressHe would not like them
Here or there
He would not like them
anywhere.He would not like them
in a house
He would not like them
with a mouse
• Fastest players at the combine will receive Porsche Carreras
It continues on from there describing Sam's Green Eggs and Ham-like aversion to interviews.
Sam has since let Bragman go, so perhaps he is more of a Shel Silverstein guy.
