2. Jason Collins has a 10 Day Contract...

The Next Story will be how Jason Collins ate a hamburger and that's HUGE NEWS. NOT!

Look Jason Collins was DUMPED by his old team because he's 35 years old with DECLINING SKILLS on the court. Jason Collins next, comes out after no team picked him and said, he's gay. Now Jason Collins -- a player with DECLINING SKILLS, dumped by his last team, instantly has a ten-day contract.

And his skills...well they have not improved a bit but hey, that does not matter to the thousand other guys with TALENT and SKILLS (and YOUNGER by the way) are waiting maybe forever to suit up for a CHANCE in the NBA.

If we where talking about Michael Sam, I would get it. Because the kid has TALENT and CLEAR SKILLS (who's cares who he prefers IMHO) but Jason Collins? Please. Jason is nothing but a marketing stunt. Plain and simple.

Meanwhile, let the kid with TALENT and SKILLS Michael Sam, make it in the NFL and show he has every right to be right there. Leave the rest of this drama off the turf and court...
