Enemies on the field, allies off it. Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, last seen offering a hand in congratulations to Tom Brady at the end of the Super Bowl, is now taking up Brady's cause in the ongoing deflate-gate saga.
Speaking to USA Today, Sherman took direct aim at the NFL and its differential between punishment for players and punishment for owners.
“You’re fining players more than you’re fining organizations?” Sherman said, referring to the potential $2 million Brady could lose if he's suspended four games.
Sherman also noted that Colts owner Jim Irsay received a punishment for DUI that didn't quite seem to measure up to what Brady would face.
