Gosh, you mean he might have an agenda?  Nobody saw that coming.

 

For the record, his teammates aren't exactly thrilled by the distraction.

 

I'll venture to guess the Oprah started levying threats if he wasn't drafted.  Not because she cared a lick about Sam, but she knew the cameras capturing his every move that were being beamed to ESPN were paid for by her, and they weren't going to carry as much influence if he didn't get drafted making his reality show a flop before it aired. 

 

That's why ESPN and NFLN really ramped up the Sam talk late in the draft.
