Exactly my point! I mean....he wouldn't even get into ASU with that if he wasn't an athlete!
People are acting like he is smart but with a 990 you are not smart. He may be educated, but not highly intelligent like so many people are saying he is!

In this interview he didn't but I recall some jabs at sherman on twitter and such which is only reason sherman was on.
And again, That show is built on arguments, yelling, and characters/trolls. That interview is exactly what the show always is but normally its skip vs Stephen a. I don't watch it because itd wwe or springer of espn. So someone doing what the show is about isnt a horrible thing.
Said it before but I dont understand why hes so mean but when a player will tackle say a cam newton its "funny" that they superman and stomp the cape. Or scorimg a touchdown and fleximg at your opponent is really no different. One is physical aggressiom and one is just words but we are babies about words

Add in the fact he got what, 24(?) on the wonderlic.
24 is average in the world's populous. Last time I checked, Stanford isn't an 'average' university.
990 SAT and a 1060 on a retake is as equivalent to a 21/23 on the ACT for us southerners who don't take the SAT.
If you want to compare him to a truly smart player
Ryan Fitzpatrick
1580 SAT (on the 1600 scale)
48 wonderlic
Sherman isn't some bona fide genius, he's of average intellect...which is sadly higher than majority of the nfl

I am sorry but a 990 SAT is a below average score.
And the standardized testing system ain't the be all end all of intelligence, either, let's be real
Why are you on such a warpath to characterize him as just another dumb jock? I'm not saying he's mensa but give the man his due and move on, patting yourself on the back for having a better SAT score or degree, if you must.

yeah I know he's smart, but that's showing the comparison between an actual smart athlete to an athlete who isn't as smart as people believe he is.
1580 vs. 990 is night and day on the SATs. That's the difference between an average person going to either ivy league or say lsu.
sherman is of average intellect, not some top 10% of the world intelligence.

I wouldn't have said anything if people didn't keep bringing up how smart he is. I am not saying he is stupid, I am saying he is not some genius like people are saying.
Also, he has accomplished way more than I have and seems like a guy that really has has his shite together so I can't really talk shite about him but I can say that I am smarter than him with my 3.0gpa from ASU!
He is a great role model for black youth but he isn't Albert Einstein!

And at the end of the day he has a more marketable skill than anyone in this thread and has ppl everywhere talking about a 20 second soundbite of his for days while we write tomes tsk-tsk'ing or lauding.
Something tells me he doesn't give a shite if some anonymous message board posters cluck their tongues at his supposed intellectual deficiencies

I agree.
And HE is the one who brings it up.

It's not even really up for debate. Not everyone retains/regurgitate material well in a standardized testing structure.
For the record, I was neither overwhelming nor underwhelming on mine (2070 overall, 1370 without the writing portion).

Nobody has said he is a genius. Only that his grades were very good and he went to a good school and got more than just a throwaway degree (my wife was a communications major and I saw firsthand the work she had to put in at TAMU, which is no Stanford).

Which doesn't mean diddly at the end of the day. Not trying to denigrate you, but just saying.

Again, no one is intimating that. So what if he brings up that he is a Stanford graduate? That's a helluva accomplishment no matter how you slice it and as someone who is extremely proud of my alma mater in Texas A&M, I don't begrudge him one iota.
And he's a great role model for ALL youth, not just those of color

He shouldn't care but I could see him signing up to defend himself!
He comes off as very insecure when he really has no reason to be.Posted on 1/24/14 at 11:06 am to lsu480
Conducting the interviews he has isn't insecure. Neither is him defending himself on social media after the overblown and racially charged shite storm that got touched off
Now, if he is lurking the MLB and responding to these types of inane threads, you might have a point

Of course but he is a black guy that made his way from Compton to Stanford and then the NFL so I think black kids would be more likely to look up to him.

To me, that is unfairly limiting his sphere of influence.
But like you on the subject of standardized tests, that's just my opinion

The stanford graduate thing is definitely overblown. If you got assistance in grades/acceptances the accomplishment isn't equivalent to someone who legitly got in/passed based on their own merits.

The Skip Bayless interview, along with some other ones, made him seem insecure IMO.

I am sure that white kids look up to him but he is a GREAT role model for black kids in Compton, who usually don't have a lot coming out of their communities.

Don't attach meaning to anything that goes on with skip Bayless on TV
I don't even if he takes my position. That's like viewing wwe as real wrestling.

So you're saying his diploma is illegitimate?
That's a helluva leap.

I think it's a great success story for young people whether they're from Compton or from adverse childhood situations located points east.
In other words, I agree
