It's not worth anything but I remember when he had real life beef with WWE Wrestler CM Punk, and attacked punk on his twitter.
Apparantly the players were at the same hotel with the WWE wrestlers who were also staying there. Merriman was apparantly drunk and trying to get with some of the WWE Diva's (women wrestlers), who rebuffed him harshley. Merriman followed one of them belligerently over to the pool area, at which point Punk had seen enough and confronted him. Nothing happened there but later Merriman attacked Punk on his twitter.
Lucky for Merriman, CM Punk (real name Phillip Brooks) is a former kick boxer who is well trained in Mui Thai and probably would have kicked Merriman's head off his shoulders on one of his bad days.
Now on a serious note, how about veteran minimum for Shawn Merriman?
