NucksPatsFan Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 There's an old saying that goes, "It's okay to talk trash as long as you can back it up". Love Sherman or hate him, he certainly can back up his words. Sportsnet showed a clip of a tweet from the Niners that said something to the effect of Sherman didn't do anything outside of that play yesterday. My reaction to that was, yeah, that's true..... ...because CK pretty much avoided throwing to Sherman's side all day.

Heretic Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Belicheck is greatest coach of all time but boy is he being a puss http://www.milehighr...-out-aqib-talib I agree, it's water under the bridge - he should have not said a word. I was more ticked with the amount of injuries the Broncos got whenever the Pats tried to do their hurry up offence - than those same players are back the next play. Broncos were the better team - they deserved the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tragoedia Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 If anyone cares (and I know some of you do). The odds makers have spoken. Denver is an early 2.5 favorite. Looks like the lines opened up tighter than that, then early money came in on Denver. Some places still have Denver as only a 1 point favorite. Never tell me the odds. I dunno I don't really like how the numbers on their jersey look. It's kinda weird. Their jersey colour scheme is good (minus that neon green) but I really think the jerseys they had before were much more sharper than the ones they have now... You be the judge. Personally I like the first one better but that's just me. I don't know. I really like the dark jerseys with the green that pops. I think they look really cool out on the field.

King Heffy Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Either that, or I guess you can do some edits to yours (fixing the record and moving the GOAT to the other side), along with the text at the bottom you proposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyJoeJoeJr. Shabadoo Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Great article on Sherman. http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/4631980 Good stuff, I hope some of the haters actually take the time to read it and understand where he is coming from. If you're going to hate a player, or hate a team because of that player like I keep reading about over and over of late, at least make it for reasons truly deserving of that hate. I hate the Patriots because one of their players just murdered someone, maybe even three people Just kidding, I don't actually hate the Patriots, I just don't want to see them win anything for awhile. They have enough. Still just sayin though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vv2 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 You must've not listened to the team 1040. "Bro" Jake has been taking shots at Sherman all morning. As someone who detests Sherman, I enjoyed it. I doubt many of the other listeners who are most likely to be Seahawks "fans" took a liking to it. Came as a bit of a surprise because Bro Jake has had a hard on for everything Seahawks for the past month. "Bro" Jake is a clown. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Great article on Sherman. http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/4631980 Thanks for posting. "I'm the best corner[back] in the game. When you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree, that's the result you going to get." --Richard Sherman That's the quote that got America talking. The man behind it was Seattle Seahawks all-pro defensive back Richard Sherman, a guy whose mouth is about the only thing louder than his game. In the moments after Sherman's post-game interview, Twitter exploded. People called him everything from a "thug" to a "disgrace," and even Justin Verlander - a professional pitcher for the Detroit Tigers - suggested that Sherman would get "high and tight" fastballs if he were in the MLB. On top of that, tweets and memes like the one below spread like wildfire. #Truth I can't stand him!! The reason why I hate the Seahawks! pic.twitter.com/2IECYsANaT-- Kelly Michelle (@kelly_MichelleJ) January 20, 2014 But from my perspective, the heat Sherman is getting is not just misguided but ludicrous. This is a guy who represents one of the best kinds of sports stories there is in the world: the rise from the bottom, the profound destruction of obstacles, the honest success story built by a foundation of hard work and loving parents. If anyone with a brain took the time to learn about Richard Sherman, and then put him in the context of the rest of the National Football League, he'd be a pretty hard guy to bash. Firstly, we're talking about a 25-year-old who came out of the streets of Compton, California. Sherman graduated from one of the worst school districts in the United States, one that boasts a high-school graduation rate of 57 percent. In a country where 68 percent of all federal and state inmates are lacking a high school diploma, you could say Sherman avoided a horrifying fate. But to say he "got lucky" or "escaped" would be foolhardy. He didn't "just graduate," either. He finished with a 4.2 GPA, second in his class, and went on to Stanford University, one of the most prestigious places to get an education in the entire world. He busted out in a rocket ship. He went from a world of gang violence and drugs to everything that Palo Alto and Stanford University represent. And where did Mr. Sherman get the work ethic to put up those grades and make it to a school that offers that kind of education? Probably from his father, Kevin, who has worked in the sanitation department for Los Angeles for more than thirty years. But you won't see that on Sherman's stat sheet, and you definitely won't hear about it when ESPN analysts comment on his post-game interview today. Most interesting, though, is that Sherman's story isn't a big secret. NFL Films has even done a short documentary on "the trash-talking cornerback." So now, America, let's talk about Richard Sherman in the NFL. Let's talk about the Stanford graduate from Compton who has never been arrested, never cursed in a post-game interview, never been accused of being a dirty player, started his own charitable non-profit, and won an appeal in the only thing close to a smudge on his record. This past off-season, 31 NFL players were arrested for everything from gun charges and driving under the Influence to murder. Last year, Kansas City Chiefs player Javon Belcher killed Kasandra Perkins, his girlfriend and the mother of his own child, before taking his own life. Week in and week out, we sit down in front of our televisions and cheer for these freak athletes to destroy each other's bodies in one of the most brutal games known to man. Most of us probably do it with a beer in our hand, screaming and cursing at our TVs in a desperate hope to change the outcome of the game. We ignore how the NFL's owners use our tax money so freely, and we don't seem to care much about the brain damage retired players suffer from every year. Yet, when one kid who has overcome everything, one kid who was doubted by the very player he overcame on Sunday, decides to emphatically claim he is the best (by the way: he is), this is what upsets us? Man, could you imagine if https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsAC4lhbE0g? Last night, when Richard Sherman went on his rant to Erin Andrews, most of America thought they were learning about the arrogance of another NFL player. But in reality, what Richard Sherman did was teach us about ourselves. He taught us that we're still a country that isn't ready for lower-class Americans from neighborhoods like Compton to succeed. We're still a country that can't decipher a person's character. But most of all, he taught us that no matter what you overcome in your life, we're still a country that can't accept someone if they're a little louder, a little prouder, or a little different from the people we surround ourselves with. In the words of the great Richard Sherman, there is only one question: You mad, bro? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did their best to go after Maxwell, and that didn't pan out so well either. Crabtree's 4 catches and 52 yards isn't exactly screaming 'I owned their secondary' lol. The entire 49ers receiving core combined for 23 more yards than Kaepernick alone gained on the ground. The video doesn't lie. Sherman was hardly anywhere to be seen - until it mattered most - and how did that turn out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Absolute beauty of a game imo. Love the rivalry because I also like the 49ers - WIN/win situation - (and hard for them to lose a 3rd straight conference championship game) - but love the Seahawks, their approach to the game, their coach, and the fact they're our neighbors. Congrats - and hope you dismantle Manning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
