"You know, Crabtree really is a great competitor but I just went out there and made a play." You mean that wouldn't have held your attention?
 
Bolden, Crabtree, and Sherman are jerks. Brady and Manning are what should be on the news clips not a jerk like Sherman.

I'm an angry person? Yup it wasn't clear at all that he was talking about Crabtree. I promise you I'm not angry about it but thanks for the bizarre observation.

You realize she works on TV, right? The goal of a television broadcast is not to have millions of people who may or may not know what Richard Sherman is talking about wink knowingly at one another. Her job is to get him to explain what he's talking about, so everyone who's watching on TV knows too. Pretty basic, day one stuff.

I think you need a balance so we can identify that some guys are bozos and some have a good amount of class. Otherwise, you'd never appreciate what solid, humble human beings guys like Tom Brady and Jerry Rice are.

You mean the same Jerry Rice that was found hiding in a bathroom during a police raid of a massage parlor that was secretly a brothel? Or the Tom Brady that divorced his wife while she was pregnant with his kid?

Solid human beings there, for sure.

Lmao, I was thinking the same exact thing. I think our sarcasm meters may be broken, I have to imagine @huskypantz was making a joke...I think?

To be honest, no I did not recall the off-field escapades of the two......but I recall how they conducted themselves on the field.
 
I'm not sure what everyone expected from this interview.

It's not going to be all roses when you get a microphone shoved in your face a minute after a close, emotional game.

This isn't basketball. It's a downright physical game where you're expected to be on the verge of brutal without killing someone. If you want a nice post-game interview, do it 30 minutes after the game and interview a quarterback, coach or a kicker.

Those guys are not saints on the field either, how about Brady trying to take out Ed Reed with the slide and leg high kick to Reed's nuts, I have seen Brady pull a tantrum on the sideline, he has run down refs crying for a flag, but Brady is a golden boy saint so lets not bring that up.

Fair enough. The " classy" post game comments most athletes give are just lip service anyways.

To your original point though, comparing a Russell Wilson to Sherman sure illustrates a difference in how guys conduct themselves.

different positions though, every guy has a different way to motivate themselves, some need to be low key, others need to hype themselves up and talk trash.

Agreed. I don't have a problem with Sherman. I don't necessarily like it, but it was entertaining and he's a professional he can do what he wants.

In a day in age where people say athletes just go through the motions and don't really care it's refreshing to see guys that are totally into it. ( not that you need to act like Sherman to prove you ' care')

Not that this matters, but Brady's had one wife. His current one. And Bridget Moynihan announced she was pregnant a couple months after they split up, and Brady was there for the birth. Not that it really matters, fans love their soap operas.

If Brett Favre had said what Sherman had said last night people would be talking about his competitive fire and the chip on his shoulder that drives him to be great.

Somebody did an extended film session with Sherman earlier this year and I'd be shocked if he's not among the smartest guys in the NFL. And he's without question the best CB in football.

I enjoy watching Sherman play - he's a great talent. I am sure Bolden, Sherman and Crabtree talk so much they get mistaken for portapotties. I'd give Sherman a pass for one run-in/event. Unfortunately the sweet taste of victory wasn't enough. Do I prefer a post-game story about how an athlete let his actions do the talking? You bet.

this sh1ts pretty simple, he isn't a thug ; just classless. Knowing how to win/lose with class is the standard. trashtalk between the lines is one thing, prancing around disparaging your opponent postgame in front of cameras is an other (not really talking about the calculated interview). when does this ever happen in sports? best corner in the game is an asshat.
 
[To those who would call me a thug or worse because I show passion on a football field—don’t judge a person’s character by what they do between the lines. Judge a man by what he does off the field, what he does for his community, what he does for his family.]
[It was loud, it was in the moment, and it was just a small part of the person I am. I don’t want to be a villain, because I’m not a villainous person.]
If people cared to look they would see the other side of him. Great dude!! I'm a Seahawk fan so I hear and know a lot about what he does. He talks a lot of trash on the field. That is what he uses to get fired up and probably would not be the same player without it. A lot of the team is late round picks, Sherman included, and non drafted free agents who have a chip on their should and use as motivation and fuel. After his career he will most likely end up on tv prob on fox.

Cocky is fine. I just hated the ass slap at the end and calling him out by name in the interview.

Didn't Harbaugh do pretty much the same thing to Jim Schwartz a couple years ago?

What does Sherman being intelligent have to do with it? He acted like an and showed poor sportsmanship by taunting a player and taking attention away from his and his teams play on the field. He has since apologized aka admitted he was wrong.

Problem is, he talks a ton of trash off the field, too. No issue with his interview, but the guy is over the top arrogant.
