RENTON, Wash. --?Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman was asked Thursday if he had a theory about why the NFL is experiencing declining TV ratings.Because the league isnt fun anymore, Sherman said. Every other league, you see the players have a good time. Its a game. This isnt politics. This isnt justice. This is entertainment. And theyre no longer allowing the players to entertain. Theyre no longer allowing the players to show any kind of personality, any kind of uniqueness, any individuality. Because they want to control the product. They want to control the messaging, etc., etc.They say were trying to influence kids, and thats their biggest thing. Thats their biggest ploy is you dont want to be a bad influence to kids. You dont want to be a bad role model. And I can agree with that. But in the same breath, you cant say Budweiser is the official sponsor of the NFL, and were trying to influence kids. So theres a ton of hypocrisy, but it doesnt matter because we dont control it.Sherman once again took aim at commissioner Roger Goodell and his role in making the game less fun. Sherman said the league has not reached out to him in the past when he has criticized Goodell, but the cornerback has heard from his peers.More just players understanding that its the truth and applauding me and saying they wouldnt have said it, but they respect that I said it, Sherman said. ... Its the truth. He hasnt done a great job, and its obvious. For us to say he hasnt done a great job is beating a dead horse honestly.Sherman has sounded off multiple times this season on the difficulty of playing defense, given the leagues current set of rules.On the topic of protecting quarterbacks, Sherman said the NFLs stance has nothing to do with player safety.No, I dont buy it, he said. Thats for public perception. They dont care about player safety. Ive said that several times. But they do care about paying the quarterback $20 million and him missing a season. They do care about that.So whether they say player safety or whatever it is, theyre tired of $20 million quarterbacks sitting on the bench or IR for the whole season, so theyre going to do whatever they can to protect their investments, and thats universal.

MAPLE, Ont. -- The Great One firmly believes the NHL will return to Quebec City. The Quebec capital has been without an NHL franchise since the Nordiques left in 1995. But hockey legend Wayne Gretzky said Tuesday his gut feeling is that Quebec City will again have its own pro hockey franchise. "I think its only a matter of time before Quebec City is going to get a franchise," Gretzky told reporters at the Joe Carter Classic Golf Tournament. "Listen, I think we all agree its a good city and it can support an NHL team, especially now with the salary cap rules and the parity we have in the game of hockey. "When thats going to be, its anybodys guess but when they do come back in, its going to be a strong, solid franchise just like Winnipeg is now and it will be as successful as they are." The NHL made a triumphant return to Winnipeg in 2011 when the Atlanta Thrashers relocated there and were renamed the Jets. The original Winnipeg Jets operated in the NHL from 1979 until 1996 when they left for Phoenix. The Quebec Nordiques were founded in 1972 and played in the World Hockey Association before joining the NHL in 79. But following the 1994-95 season the franchise was sold, moved to Denver and renamed the Colorado Avalanche. To add insult to injury for Quebec hockey fans, the Avs won the Stanley Cup their first year in Denver. The uncertainty surrounding the NHLs future in Phoenix has helped fuel speculation Quebec City could be a potential landing spot for the Coyotes. Trouble is, Seattle has also been mentioned as a frontrunner for the troubled club, which is currently owned and operated by the league. Renaissance Sports & Entertainment is trying to purchase the Coyotes and keep them in Arizona. But Glendale city council must decide whether to accept a tentative lease agreement with the group. Talk around hockey circles is if the deal isnt accepted, the Coyotes could be playing elsewhere next season. Gretzky, 52, was a part-owner in Phoenix as well as the clubs head coach (2005-06 to 2008-09) following his playing career but couldnt shed any light on his former clubs future. "Honestly, Ive not followed it at all," he said. "I dont live in Arizona anymore and you probably know more about it than I do. "Id be just guessing if I said anything . . . and probably so would you." Despite the Coyotes struggles in Phoenix, Gretzky feels there is potential for an NHL club to succeed there. "Its a great city and its a great sports city," he said. "When you look at franchises ..dddddddddddd . . Columbus is a great example: They turned their season around this year, they started winning, they got some excitement, they started selling out again. "Phoenix is a very good sports city and hopefully they get the right owner that can go in there and keep that franchise in Phoenix." Gretzkys illustrious NHL career spanned 20 seasons and was spent with four teams (Edmonton, LA, St. Louis and New York Rangers). He retired following the 98-99 season and the four-time Stanley Cup champion with the Oilers remains the games all-time leader in goals (894), assists (1,963) and points (2,857). The six-foot, 189-pound of Brantford, Ont., was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame shortly after he retired. Gretzky is presently out of hockey but was mentioned as a potential successor to John Tortorella as the Rangers head coach. However, the New York club has reportedly hired former Vancouver head coach Alain Vigneault to that post. "Listen, everything I have in my life is because of hockey, everything Ive got to do and the places Ive got to go to are because of hockey," Gretzky said. "I never talked to the New York Rangers.
