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 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.
