Simplify the expression:
\[ -(7s + 2) - (s + 5) \]

Distribute the negative sign to the first parentheses.

\[ -(7s + 2) = -7s - 2 \]

Distribute the negative sign to the second parentheses.

\[ -(s + 5) = -s - 5 \]

Combine the results from the two steps.

\[ -7s - 2 - s - 5 \]

Combine like terms.

\[ -7s - s - 2 - 5 = -8s - 7 \]

The simplified expression is:
\[ \boxed{-8s - 7} \]

The simplified expression is:
\[ \boxed{-8s - 7} \]
