    The NFL appears more ready than ever for an openly gay player and it's possible we'll find out how ready this offseason.

    CBSSports.com's Mike Freeman wrote Monday that he was told a current gay NFL player is strongly considering coming out publicly. The plan would be for the unnamed player to do so in the next few months, then carry on with his NFL career.

    Freeman based the information on several interviews with current and former NFL players, but the reporter doesn't know who the player is. If the player does come out, it would be a landmark moment in U.S. professional team sports.

    Whoever it is if they do come out, props to them. Can't be an easy thing to do, considering the locker room mentality of football.

    It's probably some no name special teamer that no one cares about anyways.

    So should the "who's better thread" change to the "top or bottom thread?"

    Props to whomever it is...unless its Brady. Then we could say we knew it...and it would be EPIC!!

    I'm gonna go with Rashard Mendenhall.

    Wow, I'd hate to be in that locker room this year. That's going to be a tense bunch to say the least.
