Richard Sherman just changed my view of Seattle

So one guys changed your view of an entire team or city?

Yes, he represents the city and the team. Obviously, Seattle approves of this punk or he wouldn't be on the team. Love Russell Wilson. A shame he is stuck playing for Pete Carroll and the rest of that idiot.

Hope Denver destroys them. Funny how liberal, atheist Seattle is suddenly tolerant of a Christian - Wilson - when he takes them to the Superbowl.

This just goes to show how delightfully insightful you are.

Boohoo, we going to the super bowl bitch! And you're argument is that if Seattle approves of the way someone plays football, then they approve of everything that player stands for on and off the field? You're an idiot, go cry some more.

Correct

The city of Seattle embraces Richard Sherman. They have said he is good for the city etc etc.

It's one thing to have a player on your team who you don't really care for. Every team has those players. It's another thing to have a jerk on your team & then go out & absolutely embrace this fellow.

It says a lot about your city.

I live in Seattle. I am a Seattle person. I had no idea who this guy was until this thread was posted. Actual people who live IN the city don't give a sh*t about sportsball. You're talking about people from Kirkland and Kent

Please. Guy took some adderall and you want him banned from the NFL?

I think Sherman is incredible as a player. He's also very smart and writes columns for SI and what not.

He talks way too much, but I actually liked the interview. At least he was honest. I personally don't see the point of most interviews as most people never say anything.

He said what he feels.

Entertaining.

That being said I'm not sure what Sherman is trying to accomplish. I read an interview where his mom said he's always been like that used to trash talk his brother when they played as kids.

Can someone help this white guy what "LOB" means. He yelled out LOB.

That's racist saying that he's "very smart." You mean compared to other black athletes? He is not "very smart" or even "kind of smart" by any definition. If you want to call self-promotion and being a loudmouth/jerk-off smart, or majoring in communications smart, then you're an idiot. Or you're being racist, like saying a black politician/celebrity is "articulate." Which is it?

Others have already addressed the many flaws in this, but I will add; "Many counted us out"? What are you talking about. The Seahawks have been the favorites to win it all from day 1. Poor guy.

Well as just two examples. They be eating crow now:

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000314108/article/championship-sunday-predictions-broncos-49ers-move-onhttp://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2014/01/16/staff-picks-afc-nfc-championship-games-playoffs/4544569/

While it's close, the majority of people picked Seattle to win and they were the favorites to win the game. 9 of the 14 ESPN pickers picked Sea. Sure you will find people who picked against them but more picked them to win than picked them to lose. The game came down to the final minute so the fact that a number of people picked different ways makes sense.

Its Legion of Boom you fool. And Crabtree was talking trash to Sherman in the game in SF and it continued today. Its known that he NEVER talks trash to the wideout unless they talk to him first. Larry Fitzgerald has talked about this and so did Calvin Johnson.

Don't talk to him and he will leave you alone. They hardly throw his way anymore if you know a thing about the game

Come on Letsrun! I'm disappointed in you that nobody has said the obvious.

Roid Rage

the guy's a total jag-off. see here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rt-WarABaJs

herman finished the game with two tackles and one pass defensed -- the game changing deflection.

Kaepernick said he felt good about the play. He said he'd take Crabtree on-on-one "against anyone."

In his post-game news conference, Sherman had a lot more to say about Crabtree.

"He wouldn't make the top 20 of NFL receivers," Sherman said. "If any team had a chance to pick Crabtree, they wouldn't draft him."

After the interception, Sherman ran over to Crabtree and patted him on the rear, saying something. Crabtree pushed Sherman in the facemask.

"I was making sure everyone knew Crabtree was a mediocre receiver," Sherman said. "And when you try the best corner in the game with a mediocre receiver, that's what happens. I appreciate that he knows that now. There has been a lot of talk from him running his mouth about me."

Sherman said he was surprised Kaepernick challenged him at the end.

Yep, these are same pussies who whine like little girls because some guy doesn't shake hands after a race.

Wow, that is crazy. This man had a 4.2 GPA in high school? Was the GPA scale a 4.2 out of a 1000 instead of the standard scale? If not, don't think I realized that kind of grade inflation existed.

Sooo...Last year the city of Seattle had a vote on whether or not Sherman should be on the team?

Hmmmm....why does that strike me as unlikely?

Throwing food at Bowman as he was carted off (if true) says much more about the City of Seattle than Sherman. It only takes a few to make a bad impression.

Come now, you can not question Dennis Rodman's statements. He is an intelligent, upstanding citizen and a role model for everyone.

Why are all you Letsrun trolls hating on Sherman? Shouldn't you realize that all he's doing is just trolling everyone, except he has the balls and the ability to do it on the biggest stage. Are you all just jealous that he is one of the best in the world at his profession while also being a better troll than you? Maybe you're also jealous that he makes 10 times as much money as you while you're a nobody stuck in a job that nobody cares about? I say good for you Richard Sherman. Keep on trolling!

I thought it was pretty funny. This happens on every play of every game in NCAA and NFL history. So he said it after the game in an interview with the girl with the grating Midwest accent, who cares? It's football, he is acting like a football player.
