The Seahawks aren't real big fans of the NFL league office right now. Recently, Marshawn Lynch got fined $100,000 for not speaking with reporters after a loss. And as a result of it, the relationship between Seattle players and the press has reportedly been pretty frosty for the last week or so.
That was very evident today during Sherman's weekly meeting with the media in Seattle. Reporters were no doubt itching to ask Sherman his thoughts on his matchup with 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree on Thursday night. But instead of taking questions from them, Sherman decided to bring out a life-size cardboard cutout of Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin in order to perform a skit that featured Sherman throwing shots at the NFL. During the skit, Sherman criticized the league for forcing players to talk to the media, mocked the league for asking players to endorse certain products and companies, and even called out the league for making player safety such an important issue while simultaneously telling players to take part in Thursday night games. It was…kind of weird. But also, pretty funny.
You can watch Sherman's press conference—if you want to call it that—in the clip above. How much do you think he's going to get fined for this?
