But while it's Sherman's job to pick on quarterbacks on the field, he knows there's no room for bullying away from the gridiron. That's why he's among the celebrities teaming up with CustomInk's Be Good to Each Other campaign, recognizing National Bullying Prevention Month in October.

Check out the special anti-bullying t-shirt he designed at the bottom of this page. (You can see the full collection at www.customink.com/stopbullying.)
