WTF was that? LOL

Thanks for starting a separate thread for this.

Damn, just saw the replay of Sherman. I'll bet the nfl is rethinking the option of allowing players not to talk to the media.

...but the NFL officials made a few mistakes, too.

I'm sure Stanford is very proud. What a great representative for his university. I hope Decker burns him for some big plays.

LOL, you could see Erin Andrews get this "Oh crap, what did I just start?" look on her face.

Hahaha. Sherman comes off like a rabid dog but I have to say... I like his intensity. Lol! I mean I can see why it would turn people off but it reminded me of Omar Little. If only he used the proper quote: "You come at the king, you best not miss."

Fresh, there was nothing wrong with his message in the sense that he has every right to rub it into his haters face. But to do it on national tv post game interview? Yeah that was pretty classless.

Anyone having to deal with Craptree all day would come off almost as bad. That being said he came off like an a**. He wasn't nearly as bad with a few minutes to chill out. This is what you get when you have live tv a minute after a big moment with two hot heads.

Sherman is a total clown. Go Broncos.

Go Hawks!

Between Harbaugh and Sherman, Stanford did not come off looking great in this game. Contrast was Lynch who insisted on shaking everyone's hand like he was in a board meeting after his big run. The confused looks on some of his teammates faces were priceless.

It's funny how Harbaugh's assistant on the left, player on the right and hanger-on (injured player?) behind him are all trying to ape him.

Count me as a minority but I thought Sherman's rant entertaining. That was a scary game and he was a scary m$therfucker. Good theater.

Plus it gives the whole country something to talk about today. I can't wait until Oprah, Rush and Obama weigh in.

Oh it was definitely entertaining. It reminded me of what an Antoine Dodson rant would sound like if he was a football player, much angrier and straight.

He came across as less coherent than most people high on amphetamines that I've encountered.

Hey, it's 2014, and we don't use that word anymore. I know you probably don't socialize with real people much outside of the internet, but your use of that word makes you sound like an anachronistic ignoramus.

Too much deer antler spray.

Perhaps more than amphetamines... aren't the Seahawks the most penalized team for PEDs?

We accuse furd of roids and hawks of peds, honestly, it just sounds like sour grapes imo

Yeah, but the Seahawks actually have had an unusually large number of PED suspensions. It's not all just speculation in their case.

Well yeah, guys who act like idiots in public generally are entertaining . . . but it doesn't mean I have to like them.

Sherman may be a rabid dog during the game but he's a student of the game off the field. A pretty interesting video at the end of this point (NFL Tuening Point):

Watch the video and you'll see exactly what happened last night.

Not just Sherman but Gregg Rosenthal actuallly witnessed Seattle fans throwing food at Navorro Bowman as he was carted off the field with a blown ACL. I know all teams have stupid fans, but throwing food at an injured player?.... pretty despicable.

Best quote re the rant:

"When did Whoopi get so mean?"

From the link, in his own words:

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.

NYCGOBEARS is not happy.

That's another big problem with the Seahawks: they're in Seattle. Hard to stomach the thought that so many of those fans are also Husky fans. I just tell myself they're mostly Cougs to get through it. That and the fact that a bunch of mutts worship a Cal great is awesome.

My general rule of thumb is that once my team is out of the running I will root for the fan base that has gone the longest without seeing a title. Seattle would basically fit that bill, as they haven't seen a championship in any major sport since the Sonics in 1979 (and then later had that franchise cruelly ripped away from them). But man, the Seahawks fans are annoying, and guys like Richard Sherman and Pete Carroll are making it tough to root for that team. I guess if they do win I'll console myself with the fact that Seattle probably was due to finally win something.

That said, go Broncos.

Thanks for summing that up for me. I was all prepared to root for the Seahwawks should they win but the Sherman antics left such a bad taste in my mouth that I cannot.

Marshawn and Brandon should outweigh all the other Seattle negatives, however large they may be!

I am now the ultimate Seahawks hater because of Sherman.
