The game I saw him lay versus the Bills last year he was old and slow, we toyed with him. J Allen threw for 4 tds, 0 picks and 375 yards. Sherman was an empty uniform out there. He was a high caliber player in 2019, I think some team was going to kick the tires on him. If Josh Norman coming off of a disaster of a season in 2019 got a contract in 2020 I would have found it hard to not see Sherman getting a one year deal.

And somehow that makes sense to you? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Today I learned that multiple people know Richard Sherman's SAT score by heart. Which is weird, because it isn't something I've ever ever thought to look up. What's the story there? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my graduating high school GPA was something like 4.34. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think him getting booked for domestic battery is a better way to assess his intelligence? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe for a football player but the guy got a 990 and 1080 on his SAT. He's no brain surgeon. *edit. I see someone already mentioned that. Do you have to be a brain surgeon to be smart? He might not be a genius but the guy did get a Master's at Stanford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to a top 25 school that had a football program. The athletes are completely catered to. Extra help, tutors, everything. I've also seen some shady things I wont even get into. Things are completely different for athletes than the general student. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one's intelligence has absolutely nothing to do with one's propensity to become a violent person/criminal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngbills Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 So many unknowns here. Was it his wife? Was it a girlfriend? Was an actual assault involved or did he not even make it in the house? More will come out. But there are plenty of good guys, smart guys, etc that get emotional when relationships or family get involved. So could be a number of situations in which he did something terrible or that he did nothing and was in a fight with his wife and she locked him out of the house. Much more to come...

The hour of the arrest makes me wonder what he had been doing in the hours leading up to whatever happened….if ya know what I mean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wow. Then you are really lost. You don't believe intelligence is negatively correlated to violent crime. You think violent crime is equally distributed across all intelligence levels? When did the facts stop mattering to you? Did you write the date down? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I defer to your analyst at point cause for me it would be just speculation from me at this point. Wheeler got out after three days following his court appearance. Sherman will be out after his court appearance as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanford isn't Florida or Alabama or USC where they just pass them through. I know a lot of people who went to top 25 schools. He had a 3.7 GPA at Stanford. I looked further and not sure if he completed his Masters....he enrolled in his 5th year but was drafted. Yes of course they have tutors. I went to a mid major and not a top 25 school but I was given a tutor as well. They are given tutors because they commit a lot of time with practice, conditioning, weight training etc..... And again, this is Stanford who has a higher academic standard than most of your other top football schools. I talked with several guys who played football at the bigger schools and they were told not to go to class on test day....all passed. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/richard-sherman-college-football-academic-careers/1xc5bxn4n0rv4114dnjwwzin1a An excellent student, Sherman graduated in 2006 with a 4.2 GPA, earning salutatorian honors. According to his website, he was the first student in 20 years "qualified to attend Stanford on both academic and athletic merits." His 247Sports profile lists four schools that offered him scholarships, including one from UCLA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they correlate, but that doesn't mean it's an absolute. See: Ted Bundy. Borderline genius/serial rapist-killer. For some reason - hell, I'll tell the reason - because Sherman is black, has dreadlocks and a big, opinionated mouth - he's been labeled as a racist and a thug in this thread and his guilt has already been declared. The point I'm trying to make, here, is that Richard Sherman is a smart guy, based on his high school and college achievements, being on the NFLPA board for years and his philanthropic work. He's being judged and labeled in this thread for all the wrong reasons and I find it disgusting. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That throws out the facts because 1 person out of 1000 breaks the rules. Statistics matter. No one cares that Richard Sherman is black. Or has dreadlocks. Every time a celebrity of any kind gets arrested you'll have people convict them before their day in court. It's the price of fame. Has nothing to do with race. People love to see people fall from grace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl2526 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Sounds like he broke into a former girlfriend's place. Certainly, it wouldn't have been a random burglary to acquire stolen goods to make some extra money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
