Sherman wins appeal - will not be suspended!

[SNDavidson]

If I was Sherman I'd threaten PFT with a defamation lawsuit right now, that is just ridiculous, what credible publication would print something so inflammatory and unsubstantiated? It's blind reaching hate in print, that is disgusting, really?

Quote from some commenter at PFT:

You can tell that this guy was on something. Sitting on the sidelines in the game against the Cardinals, he could not sit still for one moment. Classic signs and symptoms of being speeded up by something other than “the 12th man.”

Lmao.

I'm also told the credibility, and strength of denial by @RSherman_25 was very important to the case getting overturned

Just talked to Richard Sherman's attorney. This is getting good.

I gather Doug updated his story with the attorney info here

I think it was just a comment on an article, not print from the article itself.
PFT wouldn't run that.

That truly honestly is a cool story my brotha

Clair Just said on the radio, that no one has ever gotten off. And that other guys used the same defense sherm used. Sounds like he had a very, very good case.

Sherman admitted that he drank from a "tainted" container. So the fact it was in his system may be indisputable. At least I never saw him retract the statement.

Do I care.

Not a single bit. The fact we argue about procedure isn't for the times people use it to get out of trouble. It's for the times when innocent people are "hanged" becaue of bad procedure. The NFL did the right thing.

Besides, he said he drank from a tainted bottle, I will take him at his word. If he did, people are allowed to make mistakes. Part of being human is to be thoughtfull and reasonable.

Sherman didn't admit he did that, did he? Where did you see him say that?

I am actually more satisfied with how pissed off Whiner nation is than not losing Sherm for a few games. Their displeasure is PRICELESS. The Whining is at epic levels right now. I just LOVE being a fan of the source of their anger.

They fricking hate us and I am jacked about it regardless of what happens in the playoffs.

Sherman was asked how frustrating it was this came out before the appeal process: "Oh, that's going to be dealt with also," Sherman said.

Sounds like he really is going to go for the defamation suit.

Just got back online and saw this on my homepage. Maybe not anything new.

If the pee leaks from the cup
The test is corrupt

that's my :twocents:

 

[BlueTalons]

This quote alone was all that was needed:

And since the NFL's drug policy states that a confirmation test must be done by a different technician after any positive test, and Cook did both tests, this was a further violation of the process.

 

[SNDavidson]

If the cup leaketh tinkle
Then your joke of a front office is ruining the best league in sports and you all should be deported.

I am just glad this is over so we can focus on the playoffs and not have to talk about urine anymore.
