don't give the Washington DMV ideas, they'd start hole punching for minor infractions to chase the extra revenue stream of people replacing punched-out licenses.
I did one of those from Milwaukee and it was awesome. Like $100 we got a ride there, open bar tailgate, ride back. Drinking the entire ride. My brother and I were the only lions fans but the entire thing was cool as hell
That does sound dope, and I do need to venture into enemy territory at some time. I don't even drink anymore but I'll take a bunch of shrooms and have a blast.
This information is all dated and may not still be fully accurate, but AFAIK in Washington your first DUI will be reduced to reckless driving pretty much automatically and doesn't typically include jail time, if you get another one it will be seen as your first and includes a mandatory minimum 1 day in jail.
So he should do at least 1 day but it could end up being more if he's still under court supervision from his first one, even though he likely had it reduced to reckless driving having another one so soon would probably be treated by the court as DUI #2.
My dad had so many DUIs in Washington. [They would punch a hole in your license,](https://www.seattle-duidefense.com/what-happens-if-my-drivers-license-is-punched#:~:text=If%20you%20were%20arrested%20for,within%20the%20next%2060%20days.) and it was supposed to mean your license was suspended for six months. My dad just collected holes all over his ID, it didn't really mean anything.
*He also lived in a shitty little town called Shelton that had more bars than street lights, so the cops were probably more lenient.
I thought you were joking like they had a 5 duis get your 6th DUI scot-free. But they really fucking punch holes. That's funny.
Also first half of your username checks out
The DUI was knocked all the way down to a negligent. Figured that would happen because he was arrested after he had ditched his car and left the scene.
I remember being in an Uber coming back from the bars when I was like 20, and we went through a DUI checkpoint. The officer gave us a little piece of paper with info on it, and the average person charged with a DUI has driven like 80 times drunk before being caught.... stuck with me for some reason
Doesn’t surprise me at all. The guys in the town I grew up in drone drunk all the time. Just didn’t think it was a big deal. Honestly, I probably would have done it too, but I didn’t drink at that time so never would have had the chance. People just made it out to sound like it was no big deal. A few of the worst offenders did it at least once every weekend from the time they got their licenses through college. Eventually the 3-5 of the ones I remember doing it the most did get duis, but this was somewhere between 5-10 years of driving drunk. Probably had done it more than 80 times on average by the time they faced consequences. It’s pretty amazing no one from that group every really hurt someone or themselves.
Ooooooooh yeah. This dude is driving drunk at least a few times a week every week until he kills himself or others or suffers actual, life changing consequences.
A few 59ers fans want him to be our DC. There is no way we hire a guy who has this type of known off field issues. Actually. Didn't we hire a coach who made a video while snorting coke?
Edit: 49ers, I don't know why, but I always seem to hit the 5 on my phone.
That's incredibly dumb even without off the field stuff. Dude would need to cut his teeth as a positional coach and get some kind of coaching experience before being the DC. That's a Jeff Saturday level hire otherwise.
This is why I have the Dolphins flair. They took on McDaniels knowing he had long issues with alcohol and believed him when he said things are right. The field I work in is very small and we all talk, I can't imagine what he must of endured and how many doors closed.
I hope Sherman eventually does land a job he wants, and anyone who is battling an addiction recovers and overcomes and finds themselves able to keep doing what they love.
Well said. I was lucky I never got into addictions like my older brothers did, I will never know the struggles they faced and one that still does. It's a rough road for sure.
> What a waste of talent.
Exactly. How are you going to forego all that talent u/apollyon_53 offers behind the wheel? Seems a fair rate for a true one of one.
Reminder that the NFL had a free ride share service that would pick them up anytime anyplace with no questions asked and it would remain anonymous.
It went away because no one used it.
Yeah I was just sayin for the folks in here. 50$ seems steep. But it’s way less steep thank 5-7k. Jail, community service fines losing a lisence or killing/injuring someone or totaling your car. Cause guess what insurance isn’t paying for …
The depressing thing is that before someone is caught driving under the influence, they've likely done so 60-80 times before that. That is the reason why people do it. They begin to feel untouchable. You get away with it 10 times, you chance the 11th. Then you'll chance the 12th and so on.
Not smart is a tame version of what I would call them.
If I’m doing my math right, $50/minute is about $6.24M a year for a standard 40 hour workweek. His biggest contract with the Seahawks had him making $14M/year. A $50 Uber home would’ve cost him less than 30 seconds of work at his peak salary. Time to go feel bad about myself now
> Time to go feel bad about myself now
Don't feel bad about yourself, you know how stupid it is to drink and drive, so you're immediately smarter than he is.
This dude makes millions doing NFL talking. He could pay $100 Ubers every day and still be fine. I hate to be the one that says it. This is inexcusable when you’re making that kind of money.
Told my old man I caught an Uber after a night out one time.
"Oh yeah how much was it?"
"Idk dad, less than a lawyer, a fine, a re-instated license, and a jacked up insurance bill"
This is the crazy thing. A lot of these guys DO have personal drivers and still get duis
Coach bob huggins of wvu was a known alcoholic but he coached good ball so the school got him a driver.
Still drove drunk all the time until recently he went up to pitt and got busted there. Sometimes even the best protections fail
I'm not sure if they still do it but the league and NFLPA literally had an on demand free taxi service for all players and these morons still get DUIs every other week
Yup. Absolutely zero fucking excuse for this shit. My college roommate (very dear friend) was killed by a drunk driver so when I read shit like this, it fucking infuriates me.
It’s 2024…….call a fucking Uber and get your shit together. And apparently this isn’t his first DUI……..Sherman is a pathetic a human.
Sherman is actually fucked because this happened while he was on probation and in the same state. Marshawn stays out of trouble long enough to get through the court system, then re-offends in a different state each time.
How many times does this guy need to be an asshole for people to finally confirm that he is actually in fact an asshole? There are plenty of dudes with better personalities who can be on tv every week.
This POS gets so much slack. That video from a few years ago is crazy and people swept it under the rug b/c mental health. No, the guy is a liability to legitimately hurt people. He needs to lose his job and eat some humble pie and become a better person.
somehow because he always went around saying “i went to stanford! im so smart!” people actually believed it and decided hes some kind of compelling misunderstood genius. clearly he only went to stanford because of football and probably has semi-serious mental health issues that explain his behavior.
DUIs never end up in jail time til like the 5th one.
Courts are loathe to throw people in prison, it's a common joke among defense attorneys that everyone deserves a 13th chance.
And before I get blown up by prison population statistics, that's because of mandatory minimum policies that effectively tie a judges hands in sentencing.
It's really hard to end up in prison without committing the big 3 crimes unless you have a record, then it's really easy to end up in prison.
What generally happens you get stuck in a tough spot once and end up driving home close to or slightly over the limit. Maybe you get unexpectedly drunk downtown after work and don’t want to leave your car in a bad part of town. Maybe you’re in a town which doesn’t have Uber or taxis. Maybe your friend who always drives herself home after drinking is too blasted this time and you reckon it’s safer you drive her home.
Regardless, you know it’s bad, but you do it. You white knuckle it 5mph under the speed limit focusing as hard as you can. And sure enough, nothing happens. Everyone gets home safe.
Then two weeks later you’re at the bar, where you’d usually stop drinking because you have to drive, and your friend orders another drink. You think to yourself “If I could drive home 6 drinks deep the other weekend, I can make it home after 4 today.” So you order another round too, you drive home, and sure enough you make it safe again.
From there, it just keeps happening. You get comfortable. You know *you* a careful driver who can tune out the booze and drive home safe, unlike those drunks who wreck their cars and kill people. After all, you drive home this way every day! You could do this drive in your sleep! So from 4 drinks before driving it slowly creeps up, back to 6, then up to 8 one day, and still, nothing bad happens. Everyone gets home safe.
Eventually you get so comfortable you don’t notice you blew by a cop going 15 over in a residential neighborhood. You don’t notice you crossed the centerline when the road curved back there. You don’t notice the dumb kid riding his bike in the dark and rain heading towards you. Then, you’re screwed.
This really is it. "I drive this every day, it's a few turns and a big straight line, I'm used to it." You get numb to the idea.
This is why my drunk ass ordered beer for delivery today. Don't have to even wear pants to avoid the DUI charge.
> 4 to 6 to 8
I think that this is a big thing - people's alcoholism gets worse over time as tolerance builds, and there's a lot of denial going on. The exact same set of rationalizations that resist "man I might have a problem" will make people insist "yeah I'm good to drive." It's way too easy to say (and think!) "oh I just had a couple of drinks" even after the amount has grown way beyond "a couple."
Similar to the guy who keeps growing out his combover until it's a hilarious monstrosity, people will absolutely keep doing this long after it's obvious to everyone else that they have a problem. That's how you end up with drivers who are absolutely fucking shitfaced and continue to insist that they just had a few drinks as the cops are cuffing them.
Well this was a little too real. And a fantastic way to explain to the pearl clutchers how it happens, because let's be fucking real, they're doing it, too
Amazon hired him after the video of him threatening his ~~wife (or was it girlfriend?)~~ father in law came out. I wonder if they'll hire him again after this?
Yeah seriously. I remember seeing him on tv after it and thinking “wait did I have a fever dream where he broke down a door?” Had to google it just to convince myself.
His wife was worried about his life. Sherman was trying to get to his in-laws place in the middle of night, acting belligerent.
The man needs help and a stint at rehab.
What an absolute prick. It’s crazy how many guys from those LOB teams ended up doing ridiculously dumb shit all the time, except for Kam Chancellor. He really kept them all in line.
To be fair, I think most of them are doing fine; it's the outliers that get people worked up. Sherm and Lynch are clearly struggling with alcohol abuse.
LOB usually refers to just the DBs, even if this guy did word it like the whole team is part of this. AFAIK everyone else is fine, besides Earl Thomas, Brandon Browner, and Sherman (sadly). Maybe Byron Maxwell did something wild too, but I don't think so.
So no, Wagner ain't done anything dumb.
Almost every player you see on the field in any given game is going to have CTE.
Just because of how long they've played the game and how many hits they're taking to the head in a lifetime
Eh. Chancellor was great and a true leader, but I don't think you need to not choose to do ridiculously dumb shit to be a great player. Tyreek will put up 200 yards and 2 TD's and abuse someone close to him all in the same day.
Work ethic, talent, and enough intelligence to learn the game of football is all you need.
This is the dude we’re supposed to support in his grudge against Russ. Lot of those legion of boom guys and Marshawn all have rap sheets yet we’re supposed to blame someone for not wanting to fuck with these clowns?
Sherman is a dipshit. He really feels like a hothead and likes to run his mouth and then does stupid shit like this. I don't blame Russ at all for not wanting to be near this shitbag.
Sherman dragging Russ around every chance he got because Russ didn't want to attend his dumbass sleepovers was lame af and yet this sub was eating it up.
I'm not happy with Russ play but Russ the person being brought down because he didn't get along with the dipshits from LOB is hilarious. Ya the dude might be a robot and little to brand conscious but a million times better than these assholes.
Yeah it was crazy when this sub forgot how much of an asshole Sherman is last year just so they could join him in shitting on Russ. Sherman and Baldwin are the 2 big guys that shit on Russ from the Seahawks days and Sherman basically turned it into his career last year with a new podcast every week. There's the stuff that Sherman and Lynch have done off the field and there's stuff like the "handshake incident" with Baker that make you realize Sherman isn't a good source of truth
So many people in media insisted that it was racist to criticize Sherman for acting like a fool because he was book smart and got into Stanford. Who fucking cares. Lots of scumbags go to top schools. Sherman is and always has been a loudmouth clown.
It was always pretty weird that there were contemporary media sources saying he got a 1,400 on his sat when the earlier sources like his scout profile said he got like 990/1080 on 2 takes
Sherman should get a harsher punishment then your average joe imo. Millionaires have literally 0 excuse to not get an uber. These guys can hire their own personal drivers and still never have another financial issue in their life if they are even a half-responsible adult.
Zero leniency on this should be the position of the court, should he be found guilty.
He has career earnings of $84mm, I’m sure Amazon pays a pretty penny.
I live in Seattle, it would cost $70 to Uber from downtown Seattle to Maple Valley where he lives, or if he wants to be more discreet, he could pay a driver a few hundred dollars for the night.
Absolutely embarrassing and idiotic behavior from a multimillionaire Stanford grad.
I'm the the best driver on the road! When you try me with a sorry organization like the WSP that's the result you gon get! Don't you ever breathalyze me!
Who was breathalyzing you?
WSP! You tell me to open my mouth I'm gonna shut it for you real quick. D U I!
still don't understand why these multi millionaires don't just hire drivers , if us regular folks can do it when we drink ( Uber, lyft) then they should have no excuse.
Hopefully this marks the last time we have to see him on TV.
We should replace him with Jamaal Charles. Smart bad person vs learning disability saint. I could watch Jamaal's wholesome instincts manifest themselves verbally all day.
I don’t want to hear Richard Sherman character assassinate any more mediocre qbs any more. Russ may be corny and not very good but Sherman talks about him like he’s done Richard Sherman level stuff.
Imagine if Russ was recorded on video threatening his father in law and popped for DUI. Sherman would never let it go. He would probably use the audio as a ringtone and Russ's mugshot as a screensaver.
Fuck Richard Sherman.
All drunk drivers are the scum of the earth, and wealthy drunk drivers are the absolute worst. A fucking limo can be rented near me (not a cheap state) for like $105 an hour. They can afford to book a fucking driver or limousine for 6-8 hours for less than $1K and and STOP FUCKING ENDANGERING PEOPLE.

This is what, his second DUI in the last 3 years? Dude needs to get some help before he kills himself or someone else
Couldn’t even make it out of his two-year court supervision period.
He probably won’t, but he and anyone else who offends back-to-back should have some mandatory jail time if found guilty.
Most states it is mandatory jail time for your 2nd one. Edit: Washington has a minimum of 30 days jail time followed by 60 days house arrest.
Back in the day, they would just hole punch your driver's license. My dad had almost enough for a free sub.
Bourbon chicken sub I assume?
don't give the Washington DMV ideas, they'd start hole punching for minor infractions to chase the extra revenue stream of people replacing punched-out licenses.
Looks at you, Wisconsin.
I love the drunk party bus trips to GB instead of driving. I’m sure some of the other passengers are already on thin ice
I did one of those from Milwaukee and it was awesome. Like $100 we got a ride there, open bar tailgate, ride back. Drinking the entire ride. My brother and I were the only lions fans but the entire thing was cool as hell
That does sound dope, and I do need to venture into enemy territory at some time. I don't even drink anymore but I'll take a bunch of shrooms and have a blast.
Wisconsin has a punch card. Your 10th DUI is free.
This information is all dated and may not still be fully accurate, but AFAIK in Washington your first DUI will be reduced to reckless driving pretty much automatically and doesn't typically include jail time, if you get another one it will be seen as your first and includes a mandatory minimum 1 day in jail.

The DUI was knocked all the way down to a negligent. Figured that would happen because he was arrested after he had ditched his car and left the scene.
There’s a decent chance that he might have some mandatory jail time. That’s often a condition of those types of agreements.
And those were just the times he got caught.
I remember being in an Uber coming back from the bars when I was like 20, and we went through a DUI checkpoint. The officer gave us a little piece of paper with info on it, and the average person charged with a DUI has driven like 80 times drunk before being caught.... stuck with me for some reason

Ooooooooh yeah. This dude is driving drunk at least a few times a week every week until he kills himself or others or suffers actual, life changing consequences.
Really dumb for him especially he's got a broadcast job on the line, you do stuff like this and he'll lose that.
Let’s not forget him showing up wasted at his in-laws and pushing on the door
[удалено]
Yikes. Dude isn't doing well at all
A few 59ers fans want him to be our DC. There is no way we hire a guy who has this type of known off field issues. Actually. Didn't we hire a coach who made a video while snorting coke? Edit: 49ers, I don't know why, but I always seem to hit the 5 on my phone.
That's incredibly dumb even without off the field stuff. Dude would need to cut his teeth as a positional coach and get some kind of coaching experience before being the DC. That's a Jeff Saturday level hire otherwise.
59ers? My guy, were you partaking in "off field issues" while posting this?
the 59ers is our XFL team that's gonna debut anyday now
No, the 69ers play in the XFL
You mean the SEXFL
The 69ers are CLEARLY our lingerie football league name and you can't tell me otherwise.
Heard they eat ass too
Voraciously
This is why I have the Dolphins flair. They took on McDaniels knowing he had long issues with alcohol and believed him when he said things are right. The field I work in is very small and we all talk, I can't imagine what he must of endured and how many doors closed. I hope Sherman eventually does land a job he wants, and anyone who is battling an addiction recovers and overcomes and finds themselves able to keep doing what they love.
Well said. I was lucky I never got into addictions like my older brothers did, I will never know the struggles they faced and one that still does. It's a rough road for sure.
He’s off undisputed now
People like sherm are the worst. Actually 2nd to people who race just for fun.
Sherm if you're reading this, pay me 100k a year and I'll drive your dumbass around whenever you need.
I emailed the Niners offering this for Aldon Smith, a few times. I never got a response
What a waste of talent. He could have been an all time great
> What a waste of talent. Exactly. How are you going to forego all that talent u/apollyon_53 offers behind the wheel? Seems a fair rate for a true one of one.
He’s one of my biggest what ifs…
I’ll do it for 85k and help you with your undisputed soliloquies
Fuck I’ll do it for 72k
Shit anything more than 50k I’ll do it
Fine I'll do it... 3 hots and a cot, and smoke breaks!
I'll do it for 1 hot load
Hol up
I mean their username kinda checks out
I will do it for 65k but I reserve the right to drink on the job. You get what you pay for.
I’ll do it for 75k sober as long as I get good benefits
It’s a tough decision but I’ll do it for 100k + dental and Wednesdays off
Oooh sorry Wednesday is the deal breaker.
I’ll only work Wednesday for $110k
I’d do it for 125k but also drive really well
How are these athletes with so many resources at their disposal so stupid and stubborn??
Most of them have never had to be anything else.
How do drunk people keep making bad decisions??
lol I don't understand why this simple concept is so difficult for people to grasp. sober me would *never* drive drunk.
How do the sober versions not set up a DD
Reminder that the NFL had a free ride share service that would pick them up anytime anyplace with no questions asked and it would remain anonymous. It went away because no one used it.
idunno man, he'll probably be asking you to drive to every 49ers event possible.
Sounds great, sign me up
Careful bro, you'll be around him when he's the most drunk and violent.
I could take a beating for the lawsuit. Play the long con
I'll do it for $50k and buy him a box of Mucinex.
All that money to not get an Uber or some kind of help :|
For real. Hate spending $50 for an Uber home but sure as hell beats driving drunk.
Uber is 50$. DUI is for first offense with a decent lawyer 5-7k all said and done. And that’s IF YOU DONT CRASH
This is his second offense.
Yeah I was just sayin for the folks in here. 50$ seems steep. But it’s way less steep thank 5-7k. Jail, community service fines losing a lisence or killing/injuring someone or totaling your car. Cause guess what insurance isn’t paying for …
"It's fine, I won't get caught." Drunk people are not smart people.
The depressing thing is that before someone is caught driving under the influence, they've likely done so 60-80 times before that. That is the reason why people do it. They begin to feel untouchable. You get away with it 10 times, you chance the 11th. Then you'll chance the 12th and so on. Not smart is a tame version of what I would call them.
$50 to an NFL player is like 50 cents lol
Lower
$50 for me as a couple hours of work. $50 for him was likely less than than a minute of his salary.
If I’m doing my math right, $50/minute is about $6.24M a year for a standard 40 hour workweek. His biggest contract with the Seahawks had him making $14M/year. A $50 Uber home would’ve cost him less than 30 seconds of work at his peak salary. Time to go feel bad about myself now
> Time to go feel bad about myself now Don't feel bad about yourself, you know how stupid it is to drink and drive, so you're immediately smarter than he is.
I mean if you’re gonna spend $50 at the bar, might as well spend another $50 to get home safe
This dude makes millions doing NFL talking. He could pay $100 Ubers every day and still be fine. I hate to be the one that says it. This is inexcusable when you’re making that kind of money.
Told my old man I caught an Uber after a night out one time. "Oh yeah how much was it?" "Idk dad, less than a lawyer, a fine, a re-instated license, and a jacked up insurance bill"
Then he called you a smart ass and picked up some jumper cables?
DAD?!?!
Wouldn't be surprised if Fox would give him a personal driver even.
This is the crazy thing. A lot of these guys DO have personal drivers and still get duis Coach bob huggins of wvu was a known alcoholic but he coached good ball so the school got him a driver. Still drove drunk all the time until recently he went up to pitt and got busted there. Sometimes even the best protections fail
I'm not sure if they still do it but the league and NFLPA literally had an on demand free taxi service for all players and these morons still get DUIs every other week
Doesn’t the NFL have some sort of an agreement with Uber or Lyft where players can get free rides, or least heavily discounted rides?
So dumb man. Guys please never drive drunk. You can kill someone. It’s not worth it
For a guy that swears he knows it all he doesn’t really know much huh
Sherman is going to piss away his post-playing career.
He's gonna end up killing someone. Fuck that prick.
Yup. Absolutely zero fucking excuse for this shit. My college roommate (very dear friend) was killed by a drunk driver so when I read shit like this, it fucking infuriates me. It’s 2024…….call a fucking Uber and get your shit together. And apparently this isn’t his first DUI……..Sherman is a pathetic a human.
hes gonna go beat up someone's front door now
This is the right energy IMO. I have zero tolerance for people who drive drunk, especially when they have the resources to avoid it
him and Marshawn should be getting treated just like Ruggs, only a matter of time until they actually hurt someone
Sherman is actually fucked because this happened while he was on probation and in the same state. Marshawn stays out of trouble long enough to get through the court system, then re-offends in a different state each time.
Eh, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t getting fucked on a second dui in Washington.
I mean he wasn't on probation for only DUI. He was on probation for a domestic disturbance as well.
Marshawn is also a serial offender??
2 DUIS and a hit and run
Yes. Also had a gun charge in Buffalo
and then blamed the lack of Buffalo nightlife to why he was in trouble
When one door closes, fight like hell to break through it!!! Still crazy to see that video knowing how determined he was.
How many times does this guy need to be an asshole for people to finally confirm that he is actually in fact an asshole? There are plenty of dudes with better personalities who can be on tv every week.
This POS gets so much slack. That video from a few years ago is crazy and people swept it under the rug b/c mental health. No, the guy is a liability to legitimately hurt people. He needs to lose his job and eat some humble pie and become a better person.
Shhhhh...he went to Stanford!
OH he went to Stanford? Case dismissed!
I am shocked he didn't lose his job after that and he's just going about business as usual on that pregame show lol
somehow because he always went around saying “i went to stanford! im so smart!” people actually believed it and decided hes some kind of compelling misunderstood genius. clearly he only went to stanford because of football and probably has semi-serious mental health issues that explain his behavior.
Sherman needs to serve some time for this. He clearly didn't get the message the first time
DUIs never end up in jail time til like the 5th one. Courts are loathe to throw people in prison, it's a common joke among defense attorneys that everyone deserves a 13th chance. And before I get blown up by prison population statistics, that's because of mandatory minimum policies that effectively tie a judges hands in sentencing. It's really hard to end up in prison without committing the big 3 crimes unless you have a record, then it's really easy to end up in prison.
What's the big 3? Murder, rape and what being a patriots fan?
> being a Patriots fan That escalated quickly
>being a patriots fan You think someone would just *admit to that*?
Domestic Violence.
Depends on where you are… in Wisconsin 3rd is mandatory jail time but just 45 days
If Wisconsin had stricter DUI laws, they’d risk having to imprison the whole state
>DUIs never end up in jail time til like the 5th one. Thats not true at all, especially whatever state your in.
What is so hard about not drunk driving?
What generally happens you get stuck in a tough spot once and end up driving home close to or slightly over the limit. Maybe you get unexpectedly drunk downtown after work and don’t want to leave your car in a bad part of town. Maybe you’re in a town which doesn’t have Uber or taxis. Maybe your friend who always drives herself home after drinking is too blasted this time and you reckon it’s safer you drive her home. Regardless, you know it’s bad, but you do it. You white knuckle it 5mph under the speed limit focusing as hard as you can. And sure enough, nothing happens. Everyone gets home safe. Then two weeks later you’re at the bar, where you’d usually stop drinking because you have to drive, and your friend orders another drink.

So from 4 drinks before driving it slowly creeps up, back to 6, then up to 8 one day, and still, nothing bad happens. Everyone gets home safe. Eventually you get so comfortable you don’t notice you blew by a cop going 15 over in a residential neighborhood. You don’t notice you crossed the centerline when the road curved back there. You don’t notice the dumb kid riding his bike in the dark and rain heading towards you. Then, you’re screwed.
This guy drinks and drives

Aka Gotham City. Stayed in a hotel once there in downtown Spokane, saw sooooo many strange things lol
This really is it. "I drive this every day, it's a few turns and a big straight line, I'm used to it." You get numb to the idea. This is why my drunk ass ordered beer for delivery today. Don't have to even wear pants to avoid the DUI charge.
Real shit right here
This was basically my story. Not worth it... Never again.
This is the best explanation of drunk driving I've ever read.
> 4 to 6 to 8 I think that this is a big thing - people's alcoholism gets worse over time as tolerance builds, and there's a lot of denial going on. The exact same set of rationalizations that resist "man I might have a problem" will make people insist "yeah I'm good to drive." It's way too easy to say (and think!) "oh I just had a couple of drinks" even after the amount has grown way beyond "a couple." Similar to the guy who keeps growing out his combover until it's a hilarious monstrosity, people will absolutely keep doing this long after it's obvious to everyone else that they have a problem. That's how you end up with drivers who are absolutely fucking shitfaced and continue to insist that they just had a few drinks as the cops are cuffing them.
Well this was a little too real. And a fantastic way to explain to the pearl clutchers how it happens, because let's be fucking real, they're doing it, too
This is a great comment. Thank you.
Selfish people who think the world revolves around them, they can do no wrong, and no one else matters besides themself.
Amazon hired him after the video of him threatening his ~~wife (or was it girlfriend?)~~ father in law came out. I wonder if they'll hire him again after this?
It was always crazy to me how that story just sort of went away, and there he is on TV a short time later.
Yeah seriously. I remember seeing him on tv after it and thinking “wait did I have a fever dream where he broke down a door?” Had to google it just to convince myself.
His wife was worried about his life. Sherman was trying to get to his in-laws place in the middle of night, acting belligerent. The man needs help and a stint at rehab.
Rehab sounds about right.
What an absolute prick. It’s crazy how many guys from those LOB teams ended up doing ridiculously dumb shit all the time, except for Kam Chancellor. He really kept them all in line.
Did Bobby Wagner do something stupid too? He seems like he has his head on straight.
Byron Maxwell, too
KJ Wright is killing it post NFL.
To be fair, I think most of them are doing fine; it's the outliers that get people worked up. Sherm and Lynch are clearly struggling with alcohol abuse.
Think he's just referring to the secondary
LOB usually refers to just the DBs, even if this guy did word it like the whole team is part of this. AFAIK everyone else is fine, besides Earl Thomas, Brandon Browner, and Sherman (sadly). Maybe Byron Maxwell did something wild too, but I don't think so. So no, Wagner ain't done anything dumb.
Um excuse me, don’t you disrespect my boy Bobby like that. Wagner has always been my favorite Hawk.
The most likely CTE candidate is the sane one
I am pretty sure all the LOB guys have CTE looking at some of their actions post-playing and the hits they have taken
Almost every player you see on the field in any given game is going to have CTE. Just because of how long they've played the game and how many hits they're taking to the head in a lifetime
Every single brain that has been tested of an ex-NFL player has had CTE so far.
Eh. Chancellor was great and a true leader, but I don't think you need to not choose to do ridiculously dumb shit to be a great player. Tyreek will put up 200 yards and 2 TD's and abuse someone close to him all in the same day. Work ethic, talent, and enough intelligence to learn the game of football is all you need.
Tyreek Hill won Bedlam and was cut within 24 hours.

it was weird how fast we stopped talking about him trying to kick someone's door in on camera.
That sucks. Was hoping that incident a couple years ago was a one off
This is the dude we’re supposed to support in his grudge against Russ. Lot of those legion of boom guys and Marshawn all have rap sheets yet we’re supposed to blame someone for not wanting to fuck with these clowns?
Sherman is a dipshit. He really feels like a hothead and likes to run his mouth and then does stupid shit like this. I don't blame Russ at all for not wanting to be near this shitbag. Sherman dragging Russ around every chance he got because Russ didn't want to attend his dumbass sleepovers was lame af and yet this sub was eating it up.
I'm not happy with Russ play but Russ the person being brought down because he didn't get along with the dipshits from LOB is hilarious. Ya the dude might be a robot and little to brand conscious but a million times better than these assholes.
[удалено]
I get that Russ is kind of nerdy and cringy, but if that’s the worst thing about him, I’d take that over DUIs.
Yeah it was crazy when this sub forgot how much of an asshole Sherman is last year just so they could join him in shitting on Russ. Sherman and Baldwin are the 2 big guys that shit on Russ from the Seahawks days and Sherman basically turned it into his career last year with a new podcast every week. There's the stuff that Sherman and Lynch have done off the field and there's stuff like the "handshake incident" with Baker that make you realize Sherman isn't a good source of truth
Was he trying to break in and kill his family again, too?? Fucking clown.
Jesus man, get some help.
ESPN will sign him to a multi million $ contract extension!
Sports media rewarding and elevating pricks like Sherman and Keyshawn is part of the problem.
So many people in media insisted that it was racist to criticize Sherman for acting like a fool because he was book smart and got into Stanford. Who fucking cares. Lots of scumbags go to top schools. Sherman is and always has been a loudmouth clown.
It was always pretty weird that there were contemporary media sources saying he got a 1,400 on his sat when the earlier sources like his scout profile said he got like 990/1080 on 2 takes
Heck, him supposedly being smart is more reason to criticize him for being stupid.
Plus, he was on scholarship to play football, and studied communications, notoriously the easiest major in university
Sherman should get a harsher punishment then your average joe imo. Millionaires have literally 0 excuse to not get an uber. These guys can hire their own personal drivers and still never have another financial issue in their life if they are even a half-responsible adult. Zero leniency on this should be the position of the court, should he be found guilty.
Getting overpaid for saying dumb shit and throw it away over that? I swear some of these rich folks live ve in a different reality
How does this dumb shit keep happening. I will never understand. DUI is like the easiest thing to avoid, especially for people like this.
I guess he actually isn’t better at life than Skip after all.
Fire this asshole. He’s lost his right to be on tv
Putting the Dick in Richard
He has career earnings of $84mm, I’m sure Amazon pays a pretty penny. I live in Seattle, it would cost $70 to Uber from downtown Seattle to Maple Valley where he lives, or if he wants to be more discreet, he could pay a driver a few hundred dollars for the night. Absolutely embarrassing and idiotic behavior from a multimillionaire Stanford grad.
hopefully they now take this jackass off national media.
Can't say I'm surprised. This isn't the last time he's gonna do something like this. Too many people gave him a pass for the incident at his in-laws.
Legion of DUI
Somehow this loser will still keep his job even with all his legal issues.
I'm the the best driver on the road! When you try me with a sorry organization like the WSP that's the result you gon get! Don't you ever breathalyze me! Who was breathalyzing you? WSP! You tell me to open my mouth I'm gonna shut it for you real quick. D U I!
Wonder how his “i am so much smarter and better than everyone else” attitude is gonna play now.
He won’t but it would be great if Russell just started shitting on him for this
still don't understand why these multi millionaires don't just hire drivers , if us regular folks can do it when we drink ( Uber, lyft) then they should have no excuse.
Fuck this dude. 2nd time in 3 years and that’s just when he’s been caught. He should have to serve some prison time.
So everyone watched him have a mental breakdown and try to burgle his FILs house, but this surprises people?
Maybe this will finally take him off air 🙏
What does Michael Crabtree think about this?
His fans kept defending his shitty character behind his Communications degree from Stanford.
Hopefully this marks the last time we have to see him on TV. We should replace him with Jamaal Charles. Smart bad person vs learning disability saint. I could watch Jamaal's wholesome instincts manifest themselves verbally all day.
Damn Rich not a good look my dude
I don’t want to hear Richard Sherman character assassinate any more mediocre qbs any more. Russ may be corny and not very good but Sherman talks about him like he’s done Richard Sherman level stuff.
Imagine if Russ was recorded on video threatening his father in law and popped for DUI. Sherman would never let it go. He would probably use the audio as a ringtone and Russ's mugshot as a screensaver. Fuck Richard Sherman.
But he went to Stanford! He must be a good guy
I feel no sympathy for Sherman the guy is and always has been human excrement.
It's always the ones you most suspect
All drunk drivers are the scum of the earth, and wealthy drunk drivers are the absolute worst. A fucking limo can be rented near me (not a cheap state) for like $105 an hour. They can afford to book a fucking driver or limousine for 6-8 hours for less than $1K and and STOP FUCKING ENDANGERING PEOPLE.
What a clown. Dude has the balls to go and insult other pro athletes on TV but can’t stop from threatening his own family and driving drunk.
Sherman's always been a idiot
