    Richard Sherman actually had a 4.2 GPA, so no, he didn't go to Stanford just because he was a football player. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1208083/index.htm …

        @monkbent that's unfortunate - it makes him that much more responsible for his comment.

        Not a Seahawks fan. Just can't stand the hypocrisy of cheering as young men brutalize themselves and then chiding them for talking smack.
