Richard Sherman was at it again today.

The Seattle Seahawks cornerback took to the podium at a press conference Tuesday with a cardboard cutout of wide receiver Doug Baldwin in a witty, sarcastic performance where he called the NFL 'hypocritical' in response to the fining of Marshawn Lynch $100,000 US for missing media sessions.

Sherman points out what he believes to be several double standards including the league's instruction to players to not endorse alcohol while the NFL is sponsored by a beer company.

Sherman cleverly brings up several companies that he endorses in his efforts to make his point.  

The press conference has drawn a lot of comment on social media.  Here's a few thing's people are saying about Sherman's superb sarcasm.

The NFL Live crew didn't even know what to say except he might get fined.on social media.

The majority of comments were positive citing the way Sherman used humour to make a point about his beliefs around league policies.

Sherman is definitely an outspoken player so his performance should not be much of a surprise.  Remember when he called out 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree in an epic post-game interview back in January? Sherman trashed Crabtree after the Seahawks defeated the 49ers in the NFC title game in January.

Yikes.
