He is not your average NFL player. He is smart and outspoken. I remember an NFL player who graduated from Harvard with a degree in finance and economics. He played for about 15 years and was a pro bowler. Until the end of his career he pretty much kept his mouth shut.

Sherman can be as outspoken as he wishes to. He may even be correct. But that does not mean I need to admire him or have anything positive to say about him. Ali used to say he was the greatest but that was for showmanship, not because of the need for everyone to recognize him as the greatest. Sherman hqs self-esteem issues in my opinion.
