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.

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 am

He would not like to chat with the press

In a suit or in a dress

He 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.
