Amidst the high expectations and ultimate disappointment of the 2004 season, we can still recall the highlight reel that was #50 that season...the TD's vs. OSU/OU, the four-sack pack against Miami, and others, capped by AP first-team All-American status (I still recall interrupting Christmas dinner to watch the ABC halftime show on the AP selections)...all of this came to mind while I was considering the Rams' selection of Michael Sam and how their circumstances are remarkably similar...decorated college all stars with high-rev motors who are/were regarded as "tweeners"--men without positions, drafted in the 7th round almost as afterthoughts...it will be interesting to see if Sam fares better than JG in finding a niche in the NFL...BTW...this is strictly a football topic, okay???...(there's a great highlight package on YouTube under "Johnathan Goddard #50 Marshall University")...
