People want to act as Sherman's lawyer but Sherman is just asking for trouble here. It is simply Stupid. Why invite scrutiny?

Sherman needs to do two things.
- Shut up
- Find Largent80's bookie, because I bet he could have got like +2000 odds on the Ravens to cover.

His season is over and he is betting on a game he is (presumably legally) betting on a game he isn't involved. I've never heard how that is against the code of conduct.

It's common sense.

Is it possible that Sherm is stupid enough to believe he can break serious NFL rules, snitch on himself on twitter about it and still get away with it? Sure. I'll go ahead and give him the benefit of the doubt though.

Just reading through that little section of the CBA, one could easily assume that gambling in any form is prohibited by the NFL, but everyone knows it happens and you don't hear of people being suspended for it. Players travel to Vegas all the time.
Perhaps this was written in such a way as to cover more than the NFL actually means it to cover, and perhaps there have been clarifying papers sent out to players with allowances for betting at legal establishments such as Vegas or such. Honestly, I have no idea what the ACTUAL NFL policy is. If I was going strictly by the verbiage above, I'd say that placing any bet would be against NFL rules, but when looking at it realistically, I do not believe that is the case.

Don't over think it, kid. You highlighted in green the critical and accurate piece.
It is well known by the players they are not to gamble on NFL games.
It is a condition of their employment.
They aren't even suppose to 'associate with known gamblers'. That phrase has always cracked me up.
I know several former NFL players, an NFL referee, coach, etc. and trust me:
The NFL is very clear on this.
I know there used to be placards reminding/warning players of the rules around this posted IN EVERY NFL LOCKER ROOM.
All this said; would Sherman be dumb enough to violate the rule???
IMO, whether he did or not, his twittering shows an obvious presence of reckless judgement.

Maybe he's just being comical about his views on the Superbowl. Hates the Whiners and thinks the Ravens will win easily.
Winning money at the craps table...
I'm gonna go with that and believe it until we hear otherwise.

I disagree when it is something that, potentially, could mean a suspension for him depending on how bad the NFL would want to pursue it. Either way, it is probably a non-issue, but still something that he should be more cognizant of in the future.

Wow, glad it took me until it reached 5 pages to first finally view it.  I surely hope Sherm didn't really do what we hope he all did not. It is what it is.

Hey everybody, long time lurker that finally decided to register here. My dad was a Seahawks fan also and love going to games when it was still Qwest.
Unfortunately for Sherman, I am sure that NFLN and every other NFL applicable twitter account follows him just like most if not all the other players and coaches. So just because we haven't seen the report of this broken on TV yet doesn't mean that it won't soon, especially after all the hub blub that the reinstatement of Sean Payton attracted.
Doesn't look good for Richard Sherman I am afraid!

It's not a violation for NFL players to bet on other games. There's no issue here

This is Richard Sherman. He is toying around. The guy hasn't said anything other than he is in Vegas, winning money and his next tweet said "a lot",
It didn't say "I placed money on the Ravens" or anything close to that. He is just playing around and even the media isn't really biting on it.
