Can someone help me verify the events that transpired after the Hawk-49 game? Here is how I piece it together.

SF last offensive play, Sherman tips the ball and is intercepted by the Hawks.
Sherman goes over to Crabtree and pats him on the butt and tries to shake hands.
Crabtree pushes his face mask, setting Sherman off.
Sherman gives the choke signal and gets a penalty.
After the game, Sherman gives 2 interviews; one to Fox and and another to ESPN.
Next day, Sherman and texts an apology, along with a press release from Carroll.

While I would have preferred an "act like you been there before and will go there again" situation by Sherman during the interviews, I can see where if, after trying to make a sincere congratulations to Crabtree after the game and the guy pushes your face mask, I could see getting worked up in the interview, especially after Crabtree had said some things to Sherman prior to the game.

Just trying to put this in perspective and move on to the SB. What am I missing?

What are you missing?

Apparently the sand-packed vagina that everyone crying about the interview has.

They ought to take all those whiny-assed pansies and make them watch a hockey game without pissing themselves.

my guess is the people that think sherman is too cocky have not been listening to broncos fans since sunday. i ran into a elderly prick wearing a champ bailey jersey yesterday that would have made sherman blush.

while i understand not liking a team because of the players on the team, my dislike of the broncos is almost entirely about the three + years i lived in colorado surrounded by their fans.

Game wasn't over when Sherm ran up to Crabtree. Apparently Crabtree said something to Sherman at a charity event last summer that Sherman hasn't forgot.

An interesting aspect of this is the The Sherm did a radio interview yesterday and said he was mic'd for the game. He said that we will be able to hear what he was saying out there during the game and that he has nothing to hide. He said he was polite and just happy to be playing in that game or something to that effect. The media is just making a story up and I'll bet that when we get to listen to the recording the media won't put as much effort into cleaning up The Sherms reputation as they put into smearing it.

The Sherm opened his trap, and sprung it himself. All the media did is present it.....at least initially.

It doesn't matter that Sherman's adrenaline fueled interview reply was partly because of lingering issues between he and Crabtree. What really matters is that Sherman is amassing an incredible amount of publicity because of it. That much of the publicity is negative matters not a whit. What Sherman did, intentionally or not, was "build his brand," and that has both tangible and intangible value for a celebrity. Sherman was like second in his high school class and is a Stanford grad. He is smart. Taking advantage of any opportunity to build his brand will serve him well.

Sherman says he was mic'd up. wonder why the audio has not been released.

Maybe because it would nullify a lot of this story for the media and show that The Sherm isn't all that bad.

This story is showing how bad the football media is. Some guy was talking about how The Sherms outburst was typical of someone high on drugs. That is straight up conjecture and he should be liable to speculate like that.

And I agree with FP about how the media is full of hidden sandy vagina Whiners fans who put up a front of non bias.


In the end we all know the Hawks will always be one of the most hated if not the most hated teams in the NFL. However, that speculation of Sherm being high really bothered me for some reason. Journalism is dead.

KJR was talking about Sherman being miked up during the game. I believe they said it will be released on Wednesday.
SF

:Yawn:



Hawks by twelve.

The Seahawks won't end up as one of the NFL's most hated teams. Most of the time the league and the media don't even pay attention to the Hawks way up here in South Alaska. I missed many games this year and would wait to watch the highlights on the NFL channel. Most of the time the Hawks were one of the last teams to have the highlights shown and then it was about 30 seconds worth. This on a channel owned by the NFL so I don't worry too much about their perception by the rest of the country.

That being said, if Sherman wants to proclaim he is the best corner, fine with me. There are plenty of outlets for him to do that. The only problem I have with it is that as good as he is, he still needs the other 10 guys to do their jobs effectively so he can excel at his responsibility and his outburst overshadows an incredible total team defensive performance last Sunday. Cam Chancellor was huge in that game, as was every lineman and line backer. Chancellor alone had an interception, de-cleated Vernon Davis AGAIN, and caused Crabtree to alligator arm a slant pass.

Unfortunately, instead of the rest of the country talking and hearing about one of the best defensive performances in professional football and one of the best conference championship games ever, we are left with Shermangate for the rest of the week.

Here is a interview with the Stanford HC who was Sherman DC (I believe) talking about Sherman. He also discusses how Bill Walsh described his DBs. Walsh is regarded as a great coach and coached in an era when football was tough and the players were allowed to play tough. I guess in that era the fans were tougher as well since a lot seemed to be butt hurt over the interview.

My wife and I watched and re-watched the Sherm interview with Erin Andrews. We were dying laughing each time.

I would have laughed less if it was Crabs making the catch and talking game, but still would have found it highly entertaining. Listening to Russell Wilson spit out cliché after cliché is about as boring as watching paint dry. Hearing someone speak in a real, raw manner is very refreshing.

Sherm is really building his brand, I mean he had a Nike commercial, and a Beats by Dre commercial during the NFCCG.

It is funny because Sherm and Erin Andrews had a big hug right before he went crazy on air. I know that part of the speech was adrenaline and part was calculated shtick.

Also, this is the 2nd best thing to ever happen to Erin Andrews (keyhole is #1), she sucks as a field reporter from a technical sense.

Also X2 why haven't we put any pictures of Erin Andrews in this thread?

Spot on post FP!

His love of the military makes up for all the other stuff.

Is it true that everybody who lives in SF is gay?

Speaking of building a brand, Sherman's rant doesn't seem to be hurting sales of his jersey.
He is the only defensive player in the top 10.

Boz...........lol

Hankster, ( I know it is off topic, but...)

In your Heinlein quote, shouldn't the last word be "him" instead of "you"?

It sounds like "sink or swim". I think you are on the "sink" side, ( there's nothing wrong with that) except that there are so many who are unable to swim.

Maybe I should quit reading the comments at the end of these Sherman articles because they make most of the posters on PP forums look like geniuses. I guess the point that is still bothering me, which I'm ready to let go at this point, is the media and folks in general are jumping on his case but nobody is saying anything about Crabtree's behavior. He was the one who pushed Sherman's face mask and showed some pretty unsportsman-like behavior. But the media and those commenting on the story are ignoring that part. I think Sherman has done what he could with the apology and press release and it shows that he has grown from the incident and become the better individual.

I'm with others who have said Sherman knows EXACTLY what he's doing when he opens his mouth, but I also think there was a heavy dose of adrenaline pumping through him when the mic got shoved in his face.

I heard an interview with former 49er Bill Romanowski on the radio yesterday. When asked about the Sherm blowup, he got ALL excited (in a good way). He said that was giving NFL fans a taste of the adrenaline-charged madness happening on the field every play, and he LOVED it. He went on to talk about how the Hawks should make a point of trying to "knock out" every Bronco receiver that catches a ball, which seemed a bit out of line with his campaign to help current and past players dealing with brain injuries, but....

He also said he was sure the Super Bowl experience in New York was going to suck because of the weather, and he virtually guaranteed this would be the last one played in such an environment. We'll see, I guess. The New York part should be great. They know how to put on a party. The game, on the other hand, might be absolutely miserable and leave fans wondering what possessed them to pay so dearly to freeze their arses off and watch the two best teams in the NFL underperform because of the conditions.

Stay Classy SF


Fife area

Who's Revis again?

Hey look................the drippy cu.nts are still dripping.


Keep crying beaten little bitches.

Here.........try these


Or these


Or just nut up and grow a fuckin' pair.

Hairball flows would easily take a case of the Kotexs.

That hand shake vid is classic.

You Clowns are lucky Suh didn't open up a can of a$$ whoop.

Damn you're grouchy lately....why is that?

Thanks for the link....might troll there tomorrow.

TFF

BFD. You clowns tried him with a mediocre receiver and he made a spectacular play after he was pushed by Crabs....FAIL!!!

2-2-14 BABY!!!! This team WILL not be denied.

Might even be lopsided in the Hawks favor.

8 grand in fines, and thousands of times that much in future earnings potential.

Yeah...............I bet Rich is all busted up about that fine.




You know he's loving all this, right?

Shermie acted in an immature way and he knows it.

Confucius say...
If you ruin someone's season in one play, don't expect a thank you handshake.

Confucius also say...
Stay away from mics until you have your emotions under control.

See the cheap shot of Lane on the sidelines I posted.

Sherman acted like a badass that just owned the cun.t in the NFCC game that had been sh1t-talking him the whole time, after that pussy gave him the facial shove.

The fact that he didn't call him a "fuckin' c0cksucker" in his interview showed great maturity, IMO.

It wasn't a social setting for fu.ck's sake.

Would've been nice if he owned 'im, looked at 'im and then walked away.
Then a cool interview by the assassin and a warning to any QB that would dare throw his way.

The ownership would then be clear to all.

Well said Dan.

Sounds like crabtree didn't shake his hand at some party in the off season....blah blah blah. Crabs aint exactly a choir boy.

Some great players talk a lot of trash to motivate them. Gary Payton, Michael Jordan,Barkley,Deion,Ainge,Terrell,Moss, Bird and Magic in more of a suttle fashion.

I prefer keeping it on the down low like Largent.

something in my sig line describes Sherman pretty well, I think.....hmmmmm

More coming soon......

Stated simply to placate the drippy c's that have been burying the place in sand since he gave the interview.

His coach probably asked him to pull it back a little so he did.

Acting immature is when you pretend some interview a football player gave right after making the winning pick had some profound effect on you, and you have to be "offended" or "outraged" and call that player a "thug". Sounds like something an immature drama queen might do to me.

The whole conversation is, frankly, not worth expending another calorie on............so I won't.



Go Richard Sherman!

Agendas kill the truth.?

I might add he didn't even use a cuss word.Mean while Hairball is launching f bombs at the refs all f'n game.

He's a marked dood.

and not just by Denver.

Define marked.

Obscured from view?

Welker is a scrappy sonofabitch.
Even took on Belichick.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with it.

I know...Welker has no history of playing dirty, I don't think.

I'll raise ya a BHC.

Blonde C. H. You're slipping Mister.

WTF ?
