RENTON, Wash. — It was hardly a “U mad bro?” type of moment for Richard Sherman when Tom Brady’s name came up after the Seattle Seahawks finished off a camp practice this week.
It was more a matter of Sherman feeling Brady’s pain.
The spirited all-pro cornerback sympathizes for the New England Patriots quarterback who beat the Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX, contending that Brady has unfairly taken the brunt of the still-unresolved punishment flowing from the Deflategate saga.
“You’re fining players more than you’re fining organizations?” Sherman told USA TODAY Sports, comparing the team discipline to the roughly $2 million in lost salary Brady currently faces due to a four-game suspension.
