Totally classless, game time trash talk or not. As they say, act like you've been there before.

Go Denver.

from throwing objects from the stands on the injured Bowman as he was being carted off the field to the crazy interview

ha ha!

Erin Andrews musta had that same look on her face as she did when she saw that hotel room peephole video for the first time....


“Richard, let me ask you, the final play,” Andrews said. “Take me through it.”

“Well, I’m the best corner in the game!” Sherman shouted. “When you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree that’s the result you’re gonna get! Don’t you ever talk about me!”

“Who was talking about you?” Andrews asked.

“Crabtree! Don’t you open your mouth about the best! Or I’m gonna shut it for you real quick!”

He also made some remarks when he was dressed in a suit and tie, after the game.

Is he the player who was smashed in the face at the end, causing the Niners penalty?

Oliver should be fired for shoving a mike in his face mere seconds after the biggest game of his life.

Sherman has backed up every single thing he's ever said. Crabs get to think about how good who is for the next 8 months.

The question he was asked was, "What was going through your mind at that exact moment during that last play?" Paraphrasing, of course.

Richard Sherman said exactly what was going through his mind... and now he has no class. Okay. He didn't swear, he didn't say anything inherently bad.

that saved the game and it was just moments after it happened. Of course he's hyped beyond belief. To be honest, I think Erin Andrews was the one who came off as classless. She's interviewing a player after the biggest game of his life who just handled a play that will get him to the Super Bowl, and she's acting like she's put upon. And what a dumb question..."Who's talking about you?" Well, let's see...you're covering the playoff game, and you don't even know who's talking to whom on Twitter -- you don't know the matchups and rivals? Ugh. I don't even have a Twitter account, and I even know these athletes dog each other on Twitter and all kinds of other ways. It's been happening forever. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out.

After watching and reading, I really like this guy. The Lions desperately need someone like him - shoot, we'd settle for half of him LOL - on the defensive secondary.

On edit: my device gives me fits when it comes to posting links... sorry. It's on SB Nation.

I stopped following the game years ago, but I see nothing at all offensive or bad in what the man said. Apparently there's some bad blood between him and the WR, and he made his point in the game. Frankly, I'm scratching my head, too.

He was hyped, but his words were NOT offensive in any regard. At least that's my opinion.

I'll be rooting for the Seahawks 'cause I like Russell Wilson.
