I guess Italian restaurants in Tennessee are limited to Dominoe's and Pizza Hut. No problem, you get a pass.

Being gay would be the least of my worries with him. That outrageous lie he's told would bother me a bit more. Although if he can play I really wouldn't give a damn either way.

Not sure that the EEO rules about questions you can ask apply to football players who are contract workers, not employees.

On the local (Columbia, SC) radio station they were discussing this and apparently former Gamecock Chris Culliver (yeah, the one with the gay remark at the Super Bowl) said one team asked him if he had ever worn women's panties.
Definitely some strange questions there, but they're usually probably more interested in your reaction than what you actually say.
The whole thing is beginning to get a little silly. I had to start questioning my own sexuality after I realized I was watching hulking, cut dudes in neon spandex basically exercising for hours on end.

Not directly---but they can show him a picture of AJ Mccarron and AJ's girlfriend and ask who he likes better.

That question would make a lot of GC posters sound gay.
"I've seen hotter..." "It's all makeup." etc

Funny story: I had a friend who thought her boyfriend my swing the other way. I suggested that she ask about puce and/or tiramisu. She asked him about puce and he quickly said 'it's pink'. So she called me and was amazed at how that worked. I told here there are very very few folks who will just know what that is off the top of their heads. Once he mentioned Liza, that was the end. This list works every time! We found out later that he had to cover since he was military.

Too funny. Got a zero on that test BTW.
Perhaps TD celebration dances could be previewed.

More likely that if you have to ask, then don't draft him. He's already going to be hazed by his new teammates wherever he goes.
Personally, if I was a GM, that game against Bama tells me all I need to know.

So what was the deal? Sexting with a dude got busted and made up the crazy girlfriend story as a cover?

Unless they proceed with specific makeup and fashion tips for her, it doesn't mean anything.

Great. Now I know what puce is after reading this post. Apparently I'm going to fail (or pass depending on your point of view) the gay test from here on out. My wife is going to be pissed.

What? Football players have contracts but that doesn't make them "contract workers" in the legal sense. They're employees of the team with which they sign a contract for every purpose I know of (especially federal tax laws, which is one of the most significant areas where the difference between "employee" and "independent contractor" is important).
As for asking the question about being gay, in the context of the Combine I think it depends on State law and how strict a given State's employment/discrimination laws are. I read somewhere that 17 States have laws stringent enough to prevent this question from being asked and that it would be o.k. in the others.
I'm not an employment/labor lawyer so I don't know any more about the second paragraph of this message than anyone else. If I'm wrong feel free to correct me, my feelings won't be hurt.
