Things Don’t Add Up For Richard Sherman

Richard Sherman was the Seahawks safety who was talked about constantly following his promo after the NFC Championship. He also writes a column for SI’s MMQB, and grew up in the same playgrounds as DeSean Jackson. So with the recent news of a DUI and a player being cut for alleged gang ties, Sherman doesn’t see the media being fair:

Look at the way many in the media wrote about Jim Irsay after his DUI arrest. Nobody suggested the Colts owner had “ties” to drug trafficking, even though he was caught driving with controlled substances (prescription pills) and $29,000 in cash to do who-knows-what with. Instead, poor millionaire Mr. Irsay needs help, some wrote.

But DeSean Jackson is the menace, right? He’s just as bad as those guys he parties with because he threw up a Crip sign in a picture and he owns a gangsta rap record label. If only all record label owners were held to this standard, somebody might realize that Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg weren’t the bosses behind NWA. Jim Irsay lookalikes in suits were.

Maybe it was the “electric cowboy” outfit. Knowing the fashion sense of some sportswriters, it can be surprisingly impressive.
