Sherman and Baldwin rip NFL/Goodell on their policies

tl;dr version...
They mock the policies about being forced to talk to the media, but then being controlled on what they are allowed to say (ie: don't promote products the NFL doesn't have a partnership with). They also throw a little jab at the NFL being concerned about player safety and playing 2 games in 5 days.

quote:
Sherman went to the lectern in the team's auditorium and stood next to a cardboard cutout of Baldwin, who was crouched behind it.
Sherman: "You know the other day, Marshawn Lynch got fined $100,000. Did you know that? They wouldn't have paid him $100,000 if he had talked [before the fine]. Doug, do you think they would have paid him?"
Baldwin: "No, they sure would not."
Sherman: "Geez, Louise. But you know who pays me a lot of money? Beats by Dre, the wonderful headphones I wear. But the league doesn't let me say anything about them. Doug, why is that?"
Baldwin: "I don't know. Sounds kind of hypocritical to me."
NFL policy states that players are not allowed to show or use items with non-NFL sponsor logos 90 minutes before or after games.
Sherman: "Yeah, it sounds a little bit hypocritical. It seems like we're in a league where they say, 'Players, please don't endorse any alcohol. No DUIs please.' But yet, a beer sponsor is their biggest sponsor. Doug, how do you feel about that?"
Baldwin: "Like I said, sounds very hypocritical."
Sherman: "Very, very interesting. It's crazy. In the offseason you get to wear Neff beanies, you get to eat Campbell's soup. My girl [girlfriend Ashley Lillian Moss] was sick this week and we got some Campbell's soup in her. So kids, when you get sick, make sure you get some Campbell's soup."
Baldwin: "Speaking of health, how do you feel about the NFL making you play two games in five days?"
Sherman: "On my gosh, geez. I almost didn't realize that because they've been talking about players' safety so much. Two games in five days doesn't seem like you care about players' safety much. It's a little bit much for me. But Doug, you look pretty healthy to me. Looks like you've been eating good. What kind of sandwiches have you been having?"
Baldwin: "You know, I like to eat fresh, so I eat my Subway [the sandwich restaurant that makes his cutouts]. And I wash it down with a bottle of Martinelli's [apple juice and cider]."
Sherman: "Sounds like a great beverage. It's fun to use your time in the NFL for something you care about, right? Then you don't get fined $100,000. You don't get fined at all for this. This is how they want us to talk. This is what they want us to do. They want us to advertise, right, Doug?"
Baldwin: "Sounds about right to me."
Sherman: "Gotta make some money. Gotta not get fined. Any questions?"
Baldwin: "No. I don't think so."

Someone should drop job applications on them. They're black so they must be bad, AMIRITE?

That's fricking greatness right there.

What an idiot. How is having Budweiser as a sponsor hypocritical? Its a legitimate business.

Some of that is on point, some isn't.
The sponsorship issues are misguided. If the NFL wasn't making money on those, the players salaries would be less. So indirectly, they are reaping benefits.
Add in the fact that the NFL markets it's players free of charge, there are lots of tangents that can be taken in the same vein of what the NFL provides free of charge to it's players.

Much more provacative and original then some crosseyed idiot sayin "yeah" half a dozen times.
I love the distractions they are putting out there for their locker room too. Any help is much appreciated and needed for Thursday.

Not many places on earth where you can openly mock your boss and get to keep your job.

Well when your boss is a clown it must be hard not to mock.

Strangely it seems a lot better reading it just now compared to when I watched it earlier. It's a little awkward to watch

Actually, I think he is claiming that the NFL doesn't allow players to endorse booze which would hypocritical since Anheuser-Busch is one of their biggest sponsors.

Without the NFL Sherman would be a garbage man in Compton like his father, if he was lucky and hadn't been shot or locked up, so he probably should just STFU and take his 50 million. What a pussy!

I think the DUI part is likely in reference to how much harder players tend to get hit up for fines for stuff like that than the owners.
Again, go back and read the opening part where he says "It seems we're in a league where they say, 'Players, please don't endorse any alcohol."
Seems like he is implying there is some sort of decree against players endorsing alcohol.
