Rob, Sherman appealed the suspension. He claimed the sample was contaminated because the cup cracked and a second cup had to be used that had a broken seal. So Goodell will probably rule this coming week. They have to talk to the lab person for confirmation of the broken cup claim. So Sherman will play tonight.

Hey, what I care about is that the refs call the game properly. If they call the illegal contact rule, those guys' physical play will be neutralized. They would have been flagged at least three or four times the last game if it had been called.

And yes, the Seattle fans are louder than anywhere else. GB has an outdoor stadium that doesn't seat as many as other places, so they are not nearly as loud as other places. NO is very loud. Generally domes are louder. Seattle's stadium is partially covered. They are very, very loud. Everything I have read says it's the loudest place, certainly on e of the loudest.
