Sherman's "rant" and calling out his opponent reminded me very much of Ali in his prime, as did the national response.  I had no problem with it (the rant, I had a problem with a lot of the responses).  I am fine with Andrew being Andrew and Richard being Richard.  I DID lose a lot of respect for Dave Lombardi after his long series of tweets aggressively attacking Sherman and tweeting several times that Sherman's behavior is caused by PED use.

Exactly this. Sherman uses ALi as a model for his public persona. Lombardi also lost many points with me as well.

Well Sherman did test positive.  But there were collection problems, so instead of six Seahawks testing positive since 2011, only five tested positive.  Sherman's first PED positive test was thrown out due to collection problems, much like Ryan Braun's... :P
