Richard Sherman is no longer talking trash to New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady on the field. Instead, his anger is directed at the NFL.
The Seattle Seahawks cornerback is upset with the penalties given to Brady for his alleged involvement in the Deflategate saga.
“You’re fining players more than you’re fining organizations? That should bring up some red flags,” Sherman told USA Today Sports‘ Jarrett Bell on Wednesday. “But nobody’s talking about that.”
Sherman was comparing Brady’s penalties with what the Patriots received, which he sees as a double standard. Sherman brought up how Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay, who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor DUI charge, was fined nowhere near what Brady might face if the case is upheld — roughly $2 million.
