I’ve taken monthly UA’s in order to participate in a program that I’ve been attending for the past 13 years and believe me, this one is ‘monitored’, ie, a UA tech is in there with me every step of the way, just like in this case. When a cup has a leak or ANY seal is broken, the test is invalid – no questions asked by anyone! Why should it be different for Richard Sherman? I firmly believe that since our Hawks creamed the 49ers last Sunday, some folks are jealous of Richard Sherman’s & the entire team’s great performances in our games! The West Coast does not get enough credit where credit is due, normally … so suck it up, whiners & know-it-alls!! Hopefully persistence will pay off in this case! Good Luck to Richard Sherman! GO HAWKS!

I’ll echo what a couple have already said. It sounds like he’s pressing to get off on a technicality. How can a broken seal on the second cup lead to a positive result? If they used a cup that had been used by someone else, then of course. But I haven’t heard that to be the case.

Ask the Bountygate players, no semblance of Due Process in the NFL—no matter how his appeal goes.

“I’d win in a neutral court” This is kind of irrelevant any only acknowledges that the he’d exploit a legal loophole available there.

I’m all for strictly regulated testing procedures, but it seems kind of telling that there is not even an attempt to deny the offense. When his suspension is ultimately upheld, I’m not going to feel like an innocent man was somehow screwed over.

Former football players negotiating contracts with billionaires… What could go wrong?

Man up you filthy animal and serve your suspension. You know you are guilty.

This type of thing just frustrates me as a fan. Some Joe Schmoe’s carelessness can be the difference in a player that is using a ban substance being suspended and held accountable for their actions, or getting off on the Braun-technicality.

I see his suspension getting longer and longer, the more he squawks.

How hard would it have been to actually LOOK at MLBs CBA, which is the best in the business, and demand what they have? Once again the NFLPA dropped the ball.

No way the suspension will stand.

Way to go DeSmith…you sure had the players best interests in mind when you negotiated that pile of garbage. Players have no one to blame but DeSmith and themselves.
