Seattle should present a game ball to Heather McPhee, the NFLPA lawyer who represented Seahawks CB Richard Sherman during successful appeal.

Hey NFL.. after Sherman was snubbed of his Pro Bowl bid because of this.. well..



Look out NFC!

Haha, How excited were you when you realized you had the perfect opportunity to use the gif?

Just think. Sherman, a player who thrives off disrespect and doubters (dude took being a 6th rounder like the biggest insult ever), got snubbed for the Pro Bowl, and just got reason to have an EVEN BIGGER chip on his shoulder. LOVE IT!

The NFL does not disclose results of a failed test until the suspension is imposed. As a result, the NFL has no statement currently on the case. But Albert Breer — who works for NFL.com — indicated that flaws in the testing procedure invalidated the result. Washington Post reporter Mark Maske spoke to someone familiar with the case, who called Sherman’s argument “a slam-dunk winner.”

Sweeeeettt!!!

Makes me question the validity of Browner and Guy's tests too.

Me too...especially if any of them were tested at the same time. Either way, I am glad they played it safe and had Browner take his, so we weren't going to be without both for the same period of time.

Which makes it a real bitch that they tried to enforce the results to begin with.

Bullshit Schefter. It was a "slam dunk winner". Your tweet makes it sound like a great attorney pulled a rabbit out of her hat. She was a great attorney alright but not in the way I get the feeling you are insinuating. If I'm wrong, so be it but..............

 

[HawkWow]

Wow!! I am (happily) eating crow right now. NOBODY wants this team now. The winner between Dallas and Washington isn't going to be much of a winner at all.

 

[Highlordb]

God Damn! I am stoked and ready to put an whoopin on STL for a playoff warmup! Bring the Boom!

Sorry this doesn't make sense. The NFL just gets the results from the lab back and if it is positive they suspend the player. Then Sherman appealed outlined what had happened and somehow it was probably collaborated by the lab or the tester and that made it a slam dunk. Like several of us said here if he can prove a broken seal no way that he gets suspended.

This was handled exactly the way this should be handled EXCEPT for the fact that the positive test shouldn't have leaked to the media
