Someone Edited Mike Florio’s Wikipedia Page After His Twitter Feud With Richard Sherman
By Jerry Trotta
A Richard Sherman outburst was set up on a silver platter when he was named to the All-Pro rosters that were released on Friday, and the San Francisco 49ers' star cornerback did not disappoint.
Sherman took to Twitter in a diatribe to trash critics who bashed him for negotiating his own contract without an agent in 2018.
The veteran defensive back's rant involved a Twitter exchange with ProFootballTalk's Mike Florio, and one particular individual subsequently altered the Wikipedia page of the NFL reporter.

It's a joke as old as time, but it will somehow never get old. In a unique form of trolling, however, the jokester listed Florio's occupation as being "Richard Sherman's son."
For those who missed the feud, Sherman was ready to defend himself to the grave.
So the Agent funded network doesn’t think that agents negotiated incentives in deals? It’s funny how awful the incentives in some of these recent deals you never highlight. But hey I guess when Peter Schaffer is the one of your biggest investors and Drew Rosenhaus is one ... https://t.co/YiJrqyfoNC

Sherman went for the killshot, but Florio was quick to refute his assessment with a dig of his own.
Just seeing this. It’s a flat-out lie. As big of a lie as claiming you were snubbed by Baker Mayfield. https://t.co/zrHM94Ch2y

If you actually expected Sherman to call it quits, you haven't been paying much attention since he entered the league back in 2011.
The five-time Pro Bowler will never back down.
Don’t worry we can handle it how you want.

For the sake of his esteemed brand, the 54-year-old insider should probably refrain from coming at Sherman on Twitter in the future.
