Hoping that Tagliabue will hear appeal and even though he will find that Sherman is guilty that the suspension will be vacated. It worked for Vilma…….

If you forget all the plots and conspiracies about timing, it boils down to this: If Sherman is innocent, he is doing exactly the right thing. If he is guilty, he’s being dumb and hurting the team. And Sherman’s the only one who knows the truth.

I have a feeling that Sherman isn’t as concerned about the game checks next year as he is about the possibility that the ‘hawks could run the tables this year.

And before anyone calls me crazy for thinking the ‘hawks might just do it, nobody thought the Steelers could do it six years ago, and nobody thought the Giants could do it AND beat the Patriots…twice.

I thought the samples were ‘split’ and the other sample is used to confirm a positive test. The chances of an actual false positive are very slim. In most urinalysis procedures the person is handed an empty bottle, they fill it, it is capped, sealed in the person’s presence, signed/initialed, etc. If there was some form of contamination with the bottles it would likely include the whole lot rather than one person’s. If the contamination supposedly happens during the testing process itself (twice) then that implies some form of conspiracy against this specific player. The process seems fine, the player just doesn’t like the result.

Maybe he is trying to delay the appeals process so he can be available for the post season and isn’t worried about the relatively small amount of extra money it would cost him.

The Seahawks played this situation really well..now they’ll have one of the two for the rest of their games.

All I know is, if I actually had done what they are accusing, I would be doing the best thing for the team. I would take my suspension while I could still be available for the playoffs. I believe that Sherman us truly innocent and he will try his best to defend his reputation and in the process, show the league, they can’t just bully players. Good luck Sherman! GO SEAHAWKS!
