Players shouldn't be allowed to make inflammatory comments about certain things without fear of being penalized or disciplined. Coaches can't diss officials without being fined.I am surprised he is allowed to insinuate that Kraft and the nfl comish are in cahoots. Does that statement call into question the integrity of the game?
Sherman interviewed during the Pro Bowl game a couple minutes ago: (rough estimation of what he said)
"I don't think the Patriots will be punished. That's just the world we live in."
Implying they would never be punished? Hilarious. They lost a f*cking 1ST ROUND DRAFT PICK for no reason other than the LOCATION of their cameras.
Not to single out you, but can theReposting what I wrote in another thread about Sherman's "4.0"
Now that is something I don't believe. Even if it was an arts degree. Although to his credit (he went to Stanford right?) I have read articles about Harvard undergrad having an A to A- curve, even still I would like to see some investigation into this.
I've spent a lot of time in the past looking at the GPA's of the top students in the country (Canada, and these students were competition for my current program), and even amongst them, it is almost unheard of to go above a 3.95 cumulative GPA. And where the great majority of those near-perfect GPA's come from are the math/engineering fields where there is more often than not one right answer on an exam. In an arts program you are far more susceptible to a lesser grade just based on differing subjective views on the subject matter.
Not to single you out, but the campaign to discredit Sherman's academic accomplishments looks cheap to me. What's the point? He's a bright, well-educated, articulate ****, by name and personality. Honestly, if I'm an opponent I also look askance at Bob Kraft's coziness with Goodell. Hell, I love Bob Kraft and I'm uncomfortable with it. Clearly, Sherman is a jerk, but he's a very smart, accomplished guy who's also a terrific player and an assh###. I say leave it at that.Reposting what I wrote in another thread about Sherman's "4.0"

For crissakes, the NFLPA can't keep its members from beating women, driving drunk or using illegal substances. You think they can keep them from talking about delated balls???Ummmm...didn't the NFLPA put the word out yesterday, through its player reps, that there should be no further discussion by any of its players on DeflateGate???

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots cornerback Darrelle Revis isn't taking the bait.
Revis asked his thoughts on Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman declaring himself the best player in the NFL at the position, Revis was quick with his response.
"That's great," he said, before snapping his head in the other direction to field a different question.
The discussion ended there. But it should be noted, for context, that Sherman also had high praise for Revis.
Over the course of the season, Revis has explained at various points that talk of being the best in the NFL is no longer important to him.
"I'm past all that," Revis recently said, adding that everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Lol at people questioning his intelligence. He talks a lot but he's a very bright young man. They don't just let anybody into stafford, no matter how good an athlete you are
