The NFL never ceases to amaze, with their reported random drug testing of star players, and those absurd shenanigans continued on Saturday.

Shortly after the San Francisco 49ers' victory over the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC Divisional Round, Richard Sherman revealed on Twitter that he was tested for human growth hormone and performance-enhancing drugs.

Despite the sarcastic laughter, Sherman is deadly serious, and we honestly don't know what to think anymore. The NFL must think they're SO slick trying to catch players red-handed after dominant performances.

Of course, Sherman's interception of Kirk Cousins early in the third quarter completely altered the complexion of the game. The turnover ultimately led to a Tevin Coleman touchdown scamper that gave San Fran a 24-10 lead, from which they wouldn't look back.

In the simplest of terms, Sherman was a key component in the 49ers' imposing defensive efforts that held Minnesota's high-powered offense to 10 points. In turn, the league responded by utterly disrespecting the five-time Pro Bowler with a random drug test.

At least Sherman was able to laugh off this lunacy.
