Daily Roundup: I'm Not A Thug, Cheerleader Lawsuit, and Boring Basketball

I was laughing when I read this one.  Richard Sherman showed he must be a thug while he was denying that he's one.  This is a classic example of a dude trying to play the race card but not being smart enough to realize that he's shooting himself in the foot.  He's quoted in an article on the four-letter network as saying

"I know some real thugs, and they know I'm the farthest thing from a thug.  I fought that my whole life because of where I've come from [the Compton neighborhood in Los Angeles]. You have a guy from Compton or Watts, they just think he's a thug. He's a gangster. You fight it for so long, and to have it come back up and hear people use it again is frustrating."

Wait, so, you know some real thugs?  How did you go about getting to know them, I ask you?  Because, if it were me, and I were "trying to get away from" the "tag" of "thug" I wouldn't choose to know any thugs.  I'm just saying.  Oh, and, for the record, Dick:  I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE YOU'RE FROM.  Actions talk pretty loudly, my friend.

Dick Sherman, you're fake and you know it.  Nice try on the race card play, nice try.  We have thugs of all colors, and some people who don't know how to choose their friends.  You're on of them, and you just admitted it to everybody.

In other news, some former Raiders cheerleaders are suing the team for wage theft.  I really hope this happened under Al Davis, because I'm REALLY hoping that his son is doing a better job.  I really do.

Oh, and I tried to care about the NBA last night before I remembered the season is too long and nothing matters until the playoffs anyways.
