Richard Sherman...

[TheEdge07]

Doesnt get it..

Attended Stanford acts like a 80's Hurricane player...From Skips Blayess interview and yesterdays interview with Andrews he has no class.

[Maximillion]

Part of me wants to like him for where he came from.....and he clearly has a brain.I just wish he would use it more often.

[Robert Goren]

He gets it. He has a brain and he does use it. He is creating his brand which he will turn into cash.

Over reaction. I'll take an athlete with passion as opposed to those who only play for the money( Prince Fielder being a Tiger fan). When you put a microphone in any athletes face just after a game be prepared. The media wants to be the first one to report. Emotions are still raw. Reminds me of golf and hearing players ( Tiger) swear after a bad shot. You want to be inside the game, that's what you get. Only thing I didn't like about Sherman was getting in Crabtree's face right after the play. What he said to Erin Andrews I have no problem with. The media incites half this stuff anyway. Running from one locker room to the other. Looking forward to a pretty good Super Bowl.

Before Sherman gets raked over the coals, lets remember Crabtree was the one who started the war of words calling Sherman "overrated" (how did that work out for you, Michael?). Secondly, Erin Andrews sticks a mic in his face seconds after he comes of the heat of battle. There's a reason players address the media at a podium 10-15 minutes after the game. Gives them some time to settle down and get composed. Instead of acting all shocked and intimidated, Andrews should not have let Sherman affect her.

Right on. These boneheads run out there the second the final tick goes off in high heels and Gucci suits...to get a reaction. What do they expect? The podium speech is "after the fact" and its all "fake" crap....How many times can Billichek and Brady say, "They made more plays than us."????I think those two have a script to read. Peyton handles it the same way. But if you get in the face of some of these guys at "that moment" there will be testosterone, that's how they function ON the field. Personally, I love it because I bet the games...while other people get distracted by the "media circus".....I stay focused on the facts. When theres a week or two to talk about a game, you will hear so much BS that people think is important. The guy gives you a "taste" of what its like out there......the "raw" truth of it and its the end of the world. That's the world we live in.....so fake if its not (fake) we are offended. I actually think the "hoopla" is bigger than the game itself and theres some proof.........

Thats pretty easy. Bayless is a proven blowhard and Sherman gave it to him good and was pretty much on target IMO in terms of everything he said. Its funny, these sports "experts" like Bayless can go off and have an opinion on everyone and when a guy like Sherman gives it back, everyone gets upset.

As far as yesterday goes, whatever. Sherman is a smart guy and he realizes that when he says stuff like this, it is gonna get talked about and going to get more attention drawn to the game and to himself. At least Sherman can back up what he says, something Mr. Crabtree should learn how to do a little better.

Good article on Sherman's background and his "hyper-drive" nature:

Good response. I thought he was spot on with Skip Bayless.

I didn't hear the Bayless interview. I try to keep my ESPN viewing to a minimum. Unfortunately, I have to watch them for some events, but I try to avoid their talk shows.

That's who he is, no secret, most of the great players are wired this way. Theres exceptions like Eli, whose kind of laid back. But Brady is definitely like this, he hates losing, you can see it in his face when he says all that "proper, fake" crap....if you look at his face you can tell he's hyper, pissed off...if he says what he wants.........he gets even more crap, so he tows the company line. Seriously, how many guys are going to survive that sport if they are not wired this way and be any good for that matter. The media world with Skip and Stephen A are Tv shows,,,,not the real thing. Good coaches look for the Shermans of the world...you know this crazy bastard will give 110% in every game.

Can't help but get the feeling that his academic prowess at Stanford was less than stellar.
