Sherman reminds me of TM7 so much. I love having those kind of guys on my team.

Exactly. Everyone loves it because they're making plays. Any guy talking shite that isn't is quickly shut up.

Like I said before, Jimmy Graham would be one of the biggest shitheads in the league to me if he weren't on the team I support. Ask a Carolina fan about Steve Smith, and they'll gush about how awesome he is, how much he does in the community, and how much they love him. Ask anyone else, and they'll respond with "frick Steve Smith."

Yeah I loved that spot. Really drives home how intelligent you have to be to be elite at that level.

Sherman's ego is so big that he actually felt disrespected that they would even attempt a pass on him.


Probably not bad to feel elite, but the life of an elite CB is short. He'll wise up a bit in a few years.

Well, I'll give the man props for not letting that Stanford education go to waste.

That was a very well written and, for the most part, grammatically correct letter.

Well done, Sherman.

I don't know why his race or where he went to college come up at all if I think he's a bit of a douche.

Sherman is not a thug or an idiot. But he is a piece of shite and not nearly as smart as he thinks he is. He makes a great play to send his team to the super ole and the first thing he thinks of is to go chase down an opposing player to taunt him? And then you're surprised when that player pushes you away? He's lucky Crabtree didn't knock him out. Not to mention, that pretty much proves that Crabtree definitely won the shite talking battle on the field that Sherman takes such pride in, and was all up in Sherman's head.

Let's break down this letter his pr person wrote for him:

The first target produced a BS holding call. I didn't see that particular play, but I've seen Sherman get away with holding and pass interference more than enough to believe he is either lying right here, or he doesn't know what holding is. It also makes him look like a huge bitch with his complaining about Crabtree supposedly pushing him in the back.

He ran over to shake his hand and met absolutely nothing by it? Right, because we've never seen him act like a petulant child towards other players after the game before..

Crabtree isn't a top 20 receiver? He was hurt most of this year, but last year he was top 20 in catches, yards, YAC and touchdowns. But he'd have a hard time understanding the argument is a top 20 receiver? And how does a poorly under thrown ball on that play prove Crabtree to be a mediocre player?

Josh Gordon neatly doubled what Crabtree can do in a season? Is 87 nearly double 85? 1646 nearly double 1105? 9 nearly double 9? Not to mention, Gordon was arguably the best receiver in the nfl this year, what does he have to do with Crabtree being top 20? And let's not act like Crabtree has been playing with dan marino while Gordon was stuck with hoyer and weeden and Campbell. Alex smith and Colin kaepernik are nothing special throwing a football.

He doesn't want to be judged between the lines. I think most people would agree the lines are gone once the clock reads 00:00 and the game is over. You acting like a jackass on the field on TV post game is definitely fair game.

I admit I went overboard on here Sunday(although I still maintain some of my thoughts) with Richard Sherman. That said,

quote:

One thing I can’t accept is what I read after the game about Seahawks fans throwing food at 49ers linebacker Navorro Bowman as he was being carted off the field with his knee injury. If it’s true, it’s beyond terrible. That’s as low as it gets. I’m sure whoever did this is in a small minority of fans, because I don’t think that kind of action is an accurate representation of the character of the 12th man. Navorro Bowman is a great player who plays the game the right way. When he went down, I dropped to a knee and prayed for him. He deserves better than having food thrown at him as he’s carted off a field. All players deserve better than that.


He is 1000% correct on that part.

I believe that he truly believes it was a terrible call, but it was a great call. Seattle defenders think they are allowed to hold receivers at gun point and not be flagged.

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.”


The frick he did....with the way this dude carries himself after games are over, he really expects us to believe he is telling the truth?

He is one of the best if not THE best corner in the league right now, but he is a total douche and an arse hole.
