Sherman made a fool out of himself. "Don't talk about him", lol. Wilson is a class act though. I feel bad that he has to be on the same team as that clown.
Totally classless. And I loved every second of it. That was raw emotion right there, boys. Give me a shred of insight as to what was going down between you and Crabtree for four quarters as opposed to yet another mundane, cliched, disingenuous post-game interview for the quadrillionth time. Dude is a baller who made an All-Pro play to ensure his team a spot in the Super Bowl, therefore I personally grant him a license to say what he wants if someone lobs him a grapefruit minutes after the game. But that's just me.
That episode aside, the game itself reached the bar. When SF counterpunched to go back up 17-10, I thought they had weathered the inevitable second-half surge from the Seahawks. Nope. The best team persevered and won, and this coming from a guy who predicted the Niners would walk away victorious.
Oh, Richard Sherman, you're such a meanie! Why can't you be like everyone else and whine and complain on Twitter?! Then, after tweeting your emotions, NOT back it up on the field?! Or, why can't you show up to post game interviews with huge headphones, a backwards head, and looking like a punk?! Oh, Richard....WHY?!!!!!!!
BTW, Wilson is extremely grateful for Richard Sherman. Without him, Seattle wouldn't be where they are today. So, all you crying about class and humility, go watch the PGA tour or STFU.
Trash talk is the norm, but it is kinda unusual and a bit shocking when a guy calls out and ridicules a defeated enemy by name during post-game interviews like he did with Crabtree.
I bet that post-game interview would be completely different had Crabtree showed a little class by shaking Sherman's outreached hand, instead of giving a stiff arm to his face.
Two wrongs don't make a right but all things considered, I totally understand where Sherman was coming from.
So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
That was a great football game. Too bad time has to be wasted talking over something unimportant. Lots of excitement in that stadium yesterday. Fans were really into it.
As an added bonus, the video shows numerous replays of Crabtree's stiff arm after Sherman attempted to make amends and display good sportsmanship.

I agree.
Probably the most annoying thing is watching Harbaugh cry so often, as if he is an NBA superstar or something.
So Sherman going up to Crabtree and jawing at him after the play was sportsmanship? Give me a break. Sherman is a punk, a thug, a guy who has obviously never won anything of substance before. I can't wait for Peyton and co. to annihilate him.
For those that believe that Sherman can do what he wants, so can the people that criticize him for it. He is inviting critics so let people "hate" away.

They don't show a second before that when Sherman goes over and swats Crabtree on the butt and says something to him that lead to the stiff-arm.
A much better interview would have been if he had said: "Both teams played hard, we're just taking it one game at a time, and at the end of the day, it is what it is"
Every athlete should always stick to that script exactly and sports will be much better
Sherman came from a tough neighborhood (Compton), is very well educated (Stanford), extremely articulate (see video), and one of the best CBs. Wonder why he's getting this much hate and now people are actively cheering for Peyton.
Hmmm....

That you don't open your mouth about the best! Or I am going to shut it for your real quick! LOL
The guy was pumped up and let his emotions run wild. I don't see how people can expect these guys to beat the living hell out of each other and not have things get a little heated at times.
Had everyone in that stadium turned around for a few minutes, those two would have engaged in criminal battery. Soon thereafter, a mike was in Sherman's face. Think about that for a moment. And never mind the fact he just made the best play of his career at the most opportune time. The guy was practically having an out-of-body experience while being asked questions about a guy he had been at war with for 60 minutes. Relax, people. Last I checked, it's football. If you don't possess an edge, someone takes your job. And for once, someone's edge spilled over into an interview. Castigate if you must, but I for one found it to be refreshing.
Besides, who here doesn't honestly think we're having this very same discussion about Michael Crabtree if he gets his mitts on that ball? The guy played at Texas Tech and was notorious for opening his trap. I assure you Richard Sherman's name would have exited his mouth in some fashion had the roles been reversed.

One can cheer or boo whoever they want. Considering what Sherman has accomplished up to this point, I just find the hate thrown his way to be sad and peculiar.

Richard Sherman is not some innocent bystander who gets "hated" on without any sort of justifiable cause. He is a thug. Listen to game audio, he talks crap to every player, he will play dirty, get in your face and talk crap again. He is a thug. He can be a great corner, he can be a great player, he can be a Stanford grad, but at the end of the day he is a selfish thug.. No amount of wins, interceptions or Super Bowl rings will ever take that away from him. I don't hate the guy, I just don't respect him as a person.

Barry, I don't think he's getting flack for trash talking on the field. It was the absurd post-game interview tirade. I don't ever recall Jordan going off like that during a post-game interview.
I don't have any real issue with it, personally, and if nothing else, it's all rather entertaining in a bizarre fashion. But my expectations aren't that high to begin with. These guys aren't rocket scientists, Stanford degree or no Stanford degree.

... and he is selfish not because he talks trash, but because he is a classless fool that stole a moment from his team because he had to make a fool out of himself. I'm sure he has a bunch of street cred though. Cool guy.
Stowns only involvement in this thread and backing up Sherman because I opposed it.
There's no excuse for how Sherman acted. For all his well heeled education he showed deep down he has no class and has no way to handle a big win. I can't wait for Peyton to absolutely shred Seattle.

"Here he is mic'd up for a Redskins game last season, getting Trent Williams mad enough to punch him in the face. And here he is getting Steve Smith to bodyslam him (not that Steve Smith needs much convincing to bodyslam a dude, but just saying). Here he is pissing off Jimmy Graham before the Divisional Round game this year. People can't help but get mad at Richard Sherman, and he can't get enough of people being mad at him. "
He's a loud mouthed thug who needs some lessons from Wilson on how to win with class.

It's not just because a post-game interview. Have you listened to his game audio?! The guy is a classless, self-centered, instigating jerk. He showboats, he gets into fights, he insults people and he plays dirty. That's what makes him a thug. The post-game interview just confirmed it for everyone who didn't already know it.

This basically sums it up..
The term "thug" may be a bit harsh, but he certainly has no class.

<< <i>... and he is selfish not because he talks trash, but because he is a classless fool that stole a moment from his team because he had to make a fool out of himself. I'm sure he has a bunch of street cred though. Cool guy. >>
So that makes him a thug? Guess you and I have completely different definitions of a "thug", which again, is totally fine.
He's a loud mouthed thug who needs some lessons from Wilson on how to win with class.
<< <i>Understood but I still don't get why people are calling him a selfish thug just based on the post-game interview. Was it over the top? Sure but to call him a thug, not so much. >>
It's not just because a post-game interview. Have you listened to his game audio?! The guy is a classless, self-centered, instigating jerk. He showboats, he gets into fights, he insults people and he plays dirty. That's what makes him a thug. The post-game interview just confirmed it for everyone who didn't already know it.

Fair enough. An instigating jerk would be one thing but a thug, we'll just agree to disagree.

This basically sums it up..
The term "thug" may be a bit harsh, but he certainly has no class.
