"Sources say NFL agreed not to have Rams on Hard Knocks in 2014 if they drafted Michael Sam." -- (link) - ML Mar 23, 11:53 19
- So, they drafted him to get out of Hard Knocks or they drafted him and then asked the NFL to not have them to limit his publicity? - Will Hunting Mar 23, 12:10 4
  - I don't think its damning. I mean they drafted Sam Bradford to get out of the playoffs -- nm - crash davis Mar 23, 12:20 3
    - I do find it reassuring to know that they did even less with the RG3 bounty than we did with him. - Will Hunting Mar 23, 12:22 2

    - I suspect the Rams asked this of the NFL to take pressure off of Sam. - David Mar 23, 12:08 9
      - Any team can refuse Hard Knocks, they approached Seattle a couple years ago and Carroll told them no way -- nm - crash davis Mar 23, 12:09 8
        
        Not correct. Only select teams can say no. For example, teams who made the playoffs the year previous can't be forced into it. -- nm - ML Mar 23, 12:10 7
        
        I did not know this. Now I want to know more. Because if that is true, why the Bengals twice and Cowboys twice in a short time span -- nm - crash davis Mar 23, 12:14 6
        
        Here's the rule: - ML Mar 23, 12:15 5
        
        Thanks. I guess that answers my question. The rule in 2013 was because they had those teams twice. But its an a-hole rule. - crash davis Mar 23, 12:18 4
        
        I view it as motivation: succeed, or we'll foist HBO on you -- nm - ML Mar 23, 12:41 3
        
        Then why has it not been the Browns for the last several years? -- nm - Spawn Mar 23, 12:45 2
