We live in an era of such watered-down corporate analysis that it's refreshing to see a studio analyst say something that doesn't sound NFL approved. Well tonight, on the first night of the football season, former Pittsburgh Steeler and current NBC studio analyst had a few things to say about Richard Sherman the Seattle Seahawks All-Pro DB/Lightning rod.

First, Hines channeled his inner-John Lennon and dropped the quote attributed to him (and pictured) above. Then he took it a step further and hit him by saying "He doesn't deserve to be on the Madden cover," which is a low blow for a league whose players are dependent upon endorsements to cover future medical costs.
We're thinking it's because the Packers lined it up that way and Seattle doesn't switch coverages. But, then again, maybe it was just a hypothetical.
