Give the dude a chance and don't overreact or overthink preseason. Go Hawks. Lacy will rush for 1,100 and 10TDs. Bend the knee.

Legue Policies for Players (synopsis)

NFL Gambling Policy
• NFL players and coaches cannot take bribes to throw or fix a game. Playing or
coaching at less than the very best and being paid to do so is against the law and a
major violation of NFL policy.
• Any attempts to bribe a player or coach, or knowledge of attempted bribes, must be
reported immediately.
• League employees (players, coaches, and staff) are prohibited from betting on any
NFL game.
• Associating with gamblers or gambling activity is against NFL policy.
• Endorsing or promoting gambling, even if the gambling is legal, is against NFL policy.
This includes cruise or casino appearances

That's what I'm thinking, probably a personal bet with a friend. I doubt the NFL could (or would) do anything about that.
And knowing how much Sherman likes to talk, he may not even be in Vegas.

15. INTEGRITY OF GAME. Player recognizes the detriment to the League and pro-fessional football that would result from impairment of public confidence in the honest and orderly conduct of NFL games or the integrity and good character of NFL players. Player therefore acknowledges his awareness that if he accepts a bribe or agrees to throw or fix an NFL game; fails to promptly report a bribe offer or an attempt to throw or fix an NFL game; bets on an NFL game; knowingly associates with gamblers or gambling activity; uses or provides other players with stimulants or other drugs for the purpose of attempting to enhance on-field performance; or is guilty of any other form of conduct reasonably judged by the League Commissioner to be detrimental to the League or pro-fessional football, the Commissioner will have the right, but only after giving Player the opportunity for a hearing at which he may be represented by counsel of his choice, to fine Player in a reasonable amount; to suspend Player for a period certain or indefinitely; and/or to terminate this contract.

IMO, whether he did or not, his twittering shows an obvious presence of reckless judgement.

I'd be willing to bet money (and tweet about it) that he was just being a smart ass. But we should totally freak out about it.

I can see how you could think this is freaking out, but is it a bad thing to be concerned about the actions of a premier player? The tweet can be construed either way depending on your view, but I don't want to see him lost because of a possible simple mistake. And to the person who said he went to Stanford and wouldn't be this dumb, evidently you haven't met or dealt with many smart people, they can be dumb as hell too.
