PHOENIX — The first shot by Richard Sherman has been fired.
The Seattle Seahawks cornerback, in the team's introductory media press conference on Sunday, was asked about potential discipline that could come down on their Super Bowl counterparts, the New England Patriots, in response to the Deflate-gate incident.
Sherman, as expected, threw a haymaker at the NFL, the Patriots, Patriots owner Robert Kraft and league commissioner Roger Goodell.
Well, now.
In case you were not aware, Goodell and Kraft were photographed together before the now infamous AFC championship game, underlying what many have said before: that Goodell and the NFL owners (especially certain ones) are far too cozy for comfort.
The deflated balls story has been going on now for a week strong. And now a new chapter has been written by Sherman a day before the Patriots are scheduled to arrive and speak to the media.
