Sherman after his PPV win at the NFC Championship Rumble, went on RAW today to speak on his victory. Wait…
Anyway, Sherman penned a column on SI.com to talk about how he shook up Social Media on Sunday night.
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.” That’s when he shoved my face, and that’s when I went off.
I threw a choking sign at 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Why? Because he decided he was going to try the guy he was avoiding all game, because, I don’t know, he’s probably not paying attention for the game-winning play. C’mon, you’re better than that.
Erin Andrews interviewed me after the game and I yelled what was obvious: If you put a subpar player across from a great one, most of the time you’re going to get one result. As far as Crabtree being a top-20 NFL receiver, you’d have a hard time making that argument to me. There are a lot of receivers playing good ball out there, and Josh Gordon needed 14 games to produce almost double what Crabtree can do in a full season. And Gordon had Brandon Weeden, Brian Hoyer and Jason Campbell playing quarterback.
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.
A lot of people calling Sherman a thug and using racial slurs, unfortunately that is part of what you have to deal with when you talk so much. It is ignorant, stupid and hateful, but something Sherman in his piece says he can handle.
Sherman was quick to praise Manning and Broncos receivers, because he is smart. You aren’t going to trash talk Peyton Manning into screwing up, you are only going to do that by execution and having the game of your life.
Sherman says he doesn’t want to be Villain, but neither did Lex Luthor.
