01 ~ I've always liked Richard Sherman the
man ~ he had
a column with Sports Illustrated that I enjoyed. He's ferocious, intelligent, and funny. He's passionate, he works his ass off, and I expect'm to have a brilliant future. I'd have a beer with'm
any time.
02 ~ Not a fan of Richard Sherman the
Soldier. I don't want a
bland Patriots team: As far as I'm concerned, we don't have
enough firebrands like Teddy Bruschi and Rodney Harrison, these days...But I have no wish to spend treasure and capital on jackasses who publicly berate their Leaders, as Sherman has done many times. Sherman strikes me very much like Randy Moss, a brilliant and mega-talented player with a gaping
maw. And Moss was the best version of himself, while here...for a
while...And then he started yapping, again, and poisoning the air. I'd expect precisely the same arc from Richard Sherman, should we acquire his talents.
Pass.
03 ~ But if we
were to seek Richard Sherman's services, the best time to get'm would be
one year from now. Right now, he's trying to convince himself ~ and others ~ that 2018 isn't going to be a recuperating year, which is nonsense, and he's going to want to get paid accordingly...which some sorry dumbass will almost certainly see to. Hell, he could end up making
more than whatever the SeaHawks owe'm!! But he's not gonna be 100% until 2019. After 2018, the attention-span-challenged masses will declare'm "washed up." Sign'm
then. At a
discount.
