I'm quite certain Sherman cares what people think of him. I'm convinced that he's one of the smartest guys in the league. He came in as an unknown 5th round pick a couple years ago and now he's viewed as the best corner in the league. Is he? I don't know, he's very good, but I know a lot more people know his name and THINK he's the best corner because of his trash-talking exploits. He's going with the theory that the best way to maximize his income is to be loved OR hated, but never ignored. It's working (see this thread). He's the Hollywood Henderson of his day, hopefully (for his sake) with less coke.

Care that people hate him i mean I highly doubt he cares lol.
 
The "not reviewable" thing has to be fixed.

If you have instant replay and it doesn't cover something as basic as a screwed up change of possession play, you really don't have instant replay.

I'm sure they will change it - for three or four minutes, I'm sure all anyone in the NFL offices could think of there was, "Oh, s---....we're going to send the wrong team to the Super Bowl."

The happiest people alive after that fumble were in SF and Manhattan.

He absolutely cares what people think of him.

He's trying to create a persona - that was all but performance art.

Sherman graduated from Stanford with a degree in communications. He's way too smart to be a pure lunatic, but he can play one on television.
 
I don't know how anyone can discuss the interview. I couldn't understand a damn thing he said. I do know this, Sherman is one heck of a player.

You are an angry person.

It was a perfectly legitimate follow up after the lunatic finished his rant.

Actually, if she was listening it was clear he was directing his fire at one guy...Crabtree. Her question was dumb.

Every guy has a different way to motivate themselves, you do what you have to do to win, thats the bottom line, and I don't think Richard Sherman is a punk in reality (ok maybe he is) just on the field. Talking to the Fox Crew he was fine.
 
Love me some Richard Sherman. It was funny when he tore Skip Bayless a new one on FT.
 
He is a diva which is a nice way of saying HD is a loudmouthed b!tch. But he backs it up and he is making himself a star.

My issue is the BS reaction to these types of interviews. I think sticking a microphone in the face of a adrenaline charged football player or boxer still on the field of battle....then being stunned by the occasional over the top comment is beyond dumb.

It's not dumb. It's regulatory. Sportsmanship should matter.
 
I agree with Fishy. Sherman has a bachelors and at least started works toward a masters at Stanford (don't know if he finished that). He had a 4.1 GPA in High School. It's all a game to him, and he's making the rules on how he wants people to see him.

Lots of on the field between Sherman, Harbaugh, Kaepernick and Crabtree but I still think Erin Andrews wins the title.

Kap is a great kid from a great family who does a ton for local charities. Far from an A hole.
 
Ever seen any other elite athletes show up competition like this? On this stage? Tiger, serena,bron...? Totally classless behavior. he very well could be a lunatic, plenty of lunatics have college degrees.
 

Agreed Erin's question did show she did not have a clue and handled the interview badly also Sherman was not acting or creating but competing. The slap was too much but I believe he was being himself 100%
 
With the way the 49ers play and trash talk, much like their whiney little bitch coach, this was fine. Right after the game, few minutes after the play, that was passion. He was at the desk with Strahan, Long, Bradshaw and team after the game along with Russell and they all had a good laugh about the "moment"…….he's a smart dude, but still a football player and with that breeds a different mentality. It is what it is……….good thing came from it though, 49ers are done!

I guess I'm being overly critical of Erin Andrews but I think she's a lousy person so I'm biased.

Not sure what makes her a lousy person in your eyes, but her calm and rational response of "who was talking about you?" to his rant "Don't you ever talk about me!!" was as good as it gets. Meanwhile when Harbaugh was asked if he was "devastated"- he quoted Hemingway's famous line from The Old Man and The Sea " A man can be destroyed but not defeated" and Pam Oliver said "Is that a quote?" Now that was a dumb remark.
 
I am for honest answers to banal interview questions. He was responding to earlier trash talk from Crabtree. He basically said, "Now what?"

If anything, Andrews was unprepared for anything other than the stock milquetoast answer. She missed an opportunity.
 
In my experience, guys like Richard Sherman who talk themselves up that much are usually very insecure. He's a hell of a corner, though. Best in the league. And like mau said, it was nice to see the biggest tool on the field in Harbaugh get sent home.

As far as Erin Andrews, I have no problem with her follow up. Sherman was screaming at her "DON'T YOU DARE TALK ABOUT ME!!!" I don't blame her for being taken aback for a second.
 
For me Sherman's acts of getting in the face of Crabtree and then the interview took away from the good play he made. I respect him less and his initial lunacy took away from the Football game which is what I was there for. Then when he was invited to the postgame table and almost a completely different person it further reduced my opinion of him to see someone would purposefully act in such an unsportsmanlike manner. Just play football. He taught most of the viewing public to ignore his posturing and attention seeking next time.

There was this boxer once, in the 60's: converted his religion, changed his name, talked about race, dissed the military, pissed a lot people off . . .

Then again, that's a bar higher than the one aspired to by Sherman, who's just leveraging media exposure and getting us to join the mass salivation over fossil fuel and fast food consumption.

If nothing else it talks to his passion right after the play/win vs. who he really may be so I'm not sure why you would want him still ranting at the post game table???Be mad at his Andrews rant but not for being who he is at the post game….he still wasn't shy about saying "I'm the best"…….

Ha. Still boxing isn't a team sport. Disparaging competition that soon after is strange, should be thinking about the effort your squad put up.

Good point. We all know self promoting lock down corners get paid, "Revis Island" anyone. We should have recognized it for what it was right away.

It worked, because before that I'd never heard of him.
 
I also think Sherman sent a message to Demarius (sp?) Thomas. Got into his head.
 
What a mouth. Fantastic role model for both kids and politicos. What's the spread that his head remains intact after the first play of next game?
 
Guys, it's all a show, if he was looking directly at her then you could say it's not but the cat looks directly into the cameras. He know exactly what he's doing.
