Richard Sherman Earned A $2 Million All-Pro Bonus Then Promptly Took To Twitter To Dunk On Everyone That Criticized Him Negotiating His 49ers Contract Following His Achilles Injury

I don't know what it feels like to hit a $2 million bonus and based on the talents God has "blessed" me with, I'm pretty sure there is a less than 0% chance I will ever get to know what that feels like. But I imagine it feels fucking AWESOME. And you know what's cooler than $2 million dollars? A billion dollars. Not having to pay any agent fees for that $2 million then turning your Twitter account into a personal version of Old Takes Exposed and quote retweeting all the haters that doubted you would get that type of money from a deal you negotiated for yourself following a catastrophic injury (along with the $2 million that will show up in your bank account in a few days). 

I imagine all of those Hahaha's would feel good to regular idiots like you and I. But loading that app, seeing that blue bird appear, and then roasting everyone who roasted you for betting on yourself must feel orgasmic to a guy who said a big reason he signed with the 49ers was for vengeance against the Seahawks and a guy who became a household name after he ethered his opponent on national TV after clinching a Super Bowl appearance with an interview straight out of WWE.

My favorite part of all this isn't that Sherman isn't just going after writers, ex-players, or anyone with a blue checkmark. But he's also lighting up random shlubs that tweeted a hot take from their couch or toilet. I know Sherman has his fair share of critics in this world. But if you can't smile at someone getting paid and revenge at the exact same time, you are just a goddamn hater.

P.S. I can't wait to see what this is. Florio better batten down the hatches at his West Virginia barn.
