OK, Frank Caliendo's Richard Sherman Mockumentary Is Brilliant
Frank Caliendo's a bit of a schmuck, but this skit for a fake Richard Sherman 30 For 30 has some legitimately funny impressions. Jon Gruden, Ron Jaworski, and Bill Belichick are all well done, as is his more subtle Adam Schefter. Now you can go back to not caring about Frank Caliendo....
