Richard Sherman responds: To Those Who Would Call Me a Thug or Worse …

I spent most of the game on an island: I was targeted only twice during the entire NFC Championship. The first produced a BS holding call against me; the second ended the game. Michael Crabtree stutter-stepped out of his break on first down and sprinted toward the end zone. I was in good position for a pick until he pushed me in the back. My interception became a tip and an interception for Malcolm Smith in the end zone.
Game over. The Seahawks are in the Super Bowl.
I ran over to Crabtree to shake his hand but he ignored me. I patted him, stuck out my hand and said, “Good game, good game.” That’s when he shoved my face, and that’s when I went off.
quote:
But that’s not why I don’t like the man. It goes back to something he said to me this offseason in Arizona, but you’d have to ask him about that. A lot of what I said to Andrews was adrenaline talking, and some of that was Crabtree. I just don’t like him.
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. When I say I’m the best cornerback in football, it’s with a caveat: There isn’t a great defensive backfield in the NFL that doesn’t have a great front seven. Everything begins with pressure up front, and that’s what we get from our pass rushers every Sunday. 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.

obviously he didn't write that because thugs don't sound that educated

I can see where is coming from. Guy was obviously speaking from emotion in an emotional situation. Nothing to see.

We all saw him "go shake his hand"
It was a shite thing to do and anyone who is a competitor would have pushed his arse too
There have been numerous similar situations with Sherman for the last 2 years. He isn't fooling anyone. He is a fricking loud mouth and a constant shite talker. And he showed his arse on national tv.

That isn't a response that is a rearticulation. That is the thought out version of the exact thing he said on the field.

his sarcasm was obvious, calm down

I still don't get his attack on Crabtree. It was a slightly under thrown ball. Crabtree had nothing to do with allowing him at make the play.

Showing passion on the football field is not the same thing as being a horse's behind when someone interviews you after the game.

B.S. He's a calculated heel, but he feeds off of it to make himself play better. I don't have a problem with it, but he definitely tries to antagonize.

Or judge based on how you treat Skip Bayless on TV.
