Sherman is an interesting guy.

There is definitely some bad blood there. He was the leading receiver for Stanford until Harbaugh basically dropped him in the depth chart and then moved him to defense to get him out of his hair, so he had added incentive to burn Harbaugh and the 49'ers.

The guy graduated high school with a 4.2 GPA and is a Stanford grad as well - you have to have some brains to pull that off.

Comes from a working class family, his dad is a garbage man and he'd go out with dad at 4am on occasion to help him with his route growing up.

I don't doubt that trash was talked by all concerned. The difference is that most players can leave it on the field and not make complete fools of themselves on the air.



Nobody is criticizing Sherman's performance on the field, just his embarrassing performance off it.

Otherwise I agree with you, a very close and hard fought game.

GPA and class don't go hand in hand...

Screw class. I want to know who's gonna cover!

I liked it the post game interview. He didn't curse and he threw out some good old fashion smack - like an old WWF interview

fun stuff.

And he is just daring Manning to test him.

makes for a good game.

You take the leading receiver for Stanford as a freshmen, and turn him into a corner - no wonder the guy is so good, he can read the offense like no one else.

I like the guy

Bob just bet the props

Need to wait for a weather forcast closer to game day for the rest of it

Exactly. That crap after a hockey game would get you popped in the mouth.

Yea. Crabtree is a "sorry receiver". He's really "mediocre". Be sure to watch the slow-mo replay. The announcers even dared to call him the "best wide receiver in college football". Huh.





That's Baron Batch, the former Pittsburgh Steeler before he blew his knee out during a kickoff return, in the background.

It is what it is... But stick a microphone in anyone's mouth 30 seconds after the final play in a game like that, and very few will pull it off well. Give um a little slack.

Actually he attacked Crabtree on a personal level in a later interview as well. That's the one I saw on Sportscenter. They didn't replay the earlier Erin Andrews interview during the sportscenter I watched last night.

Crabtree video didn't show on my iPhone. Here's another link that unfortunately doesn't show the replay.

This is a lame excuse. If you watch ANY sports at all you will see interviews right after. This includes MMA and boxing.

12th Man. Straight up hijacking from the Aggies.

I didn't care who won that game last night but I did think the roughing the kicker and knee snapped "fumble" were pretty lame.

I'll be watching the Super Bowl with the hope that it is well played and not just a commercial viewing exercise.

Here is a defensive back who was class on and off the field.

Oxymoron......

No�.it's part of the game. Even NFL players from the good ole' days trash-talked. Has it gone to another level? Yes. But it's still part of the game and always will be. Basketball, football, and now even baseball. It's here to stay. But the actions off the field or after a game is what makes a man��.a man.

Only classless pieces of crap continue the antics after a game is over. Then it's not trash-talking��it's just worthless dribble and personal insult.

Priest Holmes, the superb running back for the Kansas City Chiefs in the early 2000s, would shake his head every time we talked about postgame interviews. The whole thing just didn�t make any sense to him. Holmes was no taller than 5-foot-9, by midseason he probably weighed 200 pounds, he wasn�t exceptionally fast by football standards. He had blown out one knee, blew it out again, got his hip knocked out of joint and had been hit so hard he was not sure how he made it to the sidelines.....................After a game, he would need a half hour of massage and an hour in a hot tub just to feel something close to human again. This is not unique. This is football.

�Do you have any idea what kind of mental state I have to get myself into to play a game?� he would ask.

�No,� I would say.

�It�s pretty extreme,� he said. �It�s like I have to become another person. It�s like I have to become a warrior. We all do.�

.....................Then he would smile and shake his head and say, �And then, five minutes after the game ends, y�all are asking us questions about how we feel and what did we think of this play, and what�s it like to lose, and we�re supposed to talk like none of that just happened.�

.......... I have no idea what Richard Sherman has to do to himself to play professional football at the level he plays it. I have no idea what his state of mind must be like when he�s trying to match up to the violence of the moment. When Priest Holmes would finish games, he would almost never come out to his locker to talk. Sometimes, though, I would wait for him. An hour, an hour and a half. Sometimes two. The locker room would be empty. The equipment guys would ask me to turn out the lights when I left. Finally, he would limp out, and he would walk over to his locker, and he would slowly put on his clothes. And we would talk.

�I don�t see how those guys do it,� he would say of the players who had already spoken to the press. �If I had to talk right after the game, I�d say the craziest things you�ve ever heard.�

I don't know. I've watched tons and tons and tons of interviews on the field after games over the years and I've never seen or heard anything like that. He should have kept walking if he was out of his mind. Why stop to do the interview if you're not yourself. Take a fine or whatever happens when you don't make yourself accessible to the media. At least Priest Holmes was classy enough to know and practice restraint. I remember Priest Holmes when he played for UT. He was a beast.

A Hawks fan with Class!

okok...take some lessons.
