Seattle Seahawks Cornerback Richard Sherman may hail from Compton, California, but he insists he is not a thug or a gangsta — despite his thuggish rant in the most talked-about post-NFC title game interview ever.
Most of the country is still buzzing about Sherman’s post-game interview with FOX Sports reporter Erin Andrews, in which he disses San Francisco receiver Michael Crabtree for disrespecting him after the game.
“I’m the best corner in the game!,” he shouted. “When you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree, that’s the result you gonna get! Don’t you ever talk about me!”
A befuddled Andrews asked, “Who was talking about you?”
“N– Crabtree!,” said Sherman, who caught himself just as he was about to blurt out the N-word on national TV.
In a surprisingly articulate column written by Sherman for Sports Illustrated, the 25-year-old wrote, “It was loud, it was in the moment, and it was just a small part of the person I am.”
He added: “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.”
Sherman explained what happened in the heady moments after his Seahawks knocked off the favored 49ers to win the NFC Championship 23-17 in Sunday night’s game.
“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,” Sherman wrote.
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.
But that’s not why I don’t like the man. It goes back to something he said to me this offseason in Arizona, but you’d have to ask him about that. A lot of what I said to Andrews was adrenaline talking, and some of that was Crabtree. I just don’t like him.
It was loud, it was in the moment, and it was just a small part of the person I am. I don’t want to be a villain, because I’m not a villainous person. When I say I’m the best cornerback in football, it’s with a caveat: There isn’t a great defensive backfield in the NFL that doesn’t have a great front seven.
Everything begins with pressure up front, and that’s what we get from our pass rushers every Sunday. To those who would call me a thug or worse because I show passion on a football field—don’t judge a person’s character by what they do between the lines. Judge a man by what he does off the field, what he does for his community, what he does for his family.
But people find it easy to take shots on Twitter, and to use racial slurs and bullying language far worse than what you’ll see from me. It’s sad and somewhat unbelievable to me that the world is still this way, but it is. I can handle it.

woohoo new post :dances:
I watched this live last night and was like
did he just lose his mind in front of the world?? :nods: I think so!
This is football. It’s a sad sign of the times when an NFL player can’t express raw male trash talking RIGHT after a game. SMH
@Missyj I saw it too. But really, old boy did not have to mush him, just because they lost. He was mad and said how he felt. At least he did not drop f bombs and all that. Im not mad at him.

Exactly!! Stop trying to make the game all nice. It’s football!!!
I have no problem with what he said. This is what men do.
So proud of the Seahawks!!!!
Erin was like ‘I wasn’t ready” Joe back over to you
Ms. Rose et al – –
Hmmm.
That Young Man Certainly Got a BIG mouth on Him, Literally!!!
(The things he must be doing with it)
It’s funny. During his rant with Ms. Erin Andrews his face looked like a Monstrosity BUT when he did the post-interview in the locker room dressed up with a bow tie he looked like a different person – – quite handsome and articulate.
(My guess is that he was posturing for the cameras But in any case Congratulations to him!)
(Buster Rhymes and he favor in the face)
Sherman said on twitter. . A lion doesn’t concern himself with the opinion of sheep
Stop asking folk questions when they hyped and such….folk ask questions they don’t really want the answers to then get mad when they answered. Child Boo!
and from downstairs….
Oh lerd that answered my question..tell your ma and stepdad to be very careful..they could lose their home if any activity is traced back to that address ..lots of cities have that on the books.. She’s gonna halfta tell them they can’t be at her house..not at all..
**********************
it’s not my ma’s house, they live in another city from us.
NOONE called Kapernick out last week with his distasteful display of Fcukery in Carolina??
He Just made the winning PLAY to send them to the Super bowl. I can understand his adrenaline Pumping and his aderall kicking in,
What would have been acceptable??
FurtherMore . . Him and Crabtree had already had words at an Event Larry Fitzgerald had last year.
Hope he doesn’t eat those words at the super bowl
Ion watch nfl though… college sports over here
BUT when he did the post-interview in the locker room dressed up with a bow tie he looked like a different person – – quite handsome and articulate.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
And this!! He Knew how to conform for the situation at hand . . .
AND NOONES GOnna say “CRABTREE” is a crab/thug/hard head for mushing Sherman??
Hell truth be told he’s suppose to Receive a stiff fine for that,NO
Goodell?????
His interviews after that were calm and intelligible
@ladie Leo

Yeah he deserves to be called a Ni&&3R.
Mofos make me sick
O.K. yall have been talking about this all day. I’m with the yt chick Umm sir who was talking about you. Did this Crabtree person call hin sorry?
Stanford is a great school.. regardless how great u are in sports you still have to be intelligent to get in..just like Bob Whitfield ..He is by far an idiot no matter how much Sheri tried to display him to b
I wonder if a sprite would be labeled a thug if he acted like this seconds after making a clutch play
We all know that he would be described as “passionate and filled with raw emotion…” They may even go out on a limb to say he’s caught up in the moment. Crakk azz crakkas.

In a surprisingly articulate column written by Sherman for Sports Illustrated,

__________________
Police discovered roughly 30 people could have been exposed to HIV after finding more than two dozen sex tapes allegedly filmed in secret by a former college student in Missouri who knowingly had the disease, KMOV reports.
Facebook: TigerMandingo
Former Lindenwood University student Michael Johnson was charged in October for exposing sexual partners to HIV, though the tapes weren’t discovered until this month.
Johnson was originally arrested on Oct. 10 after a man told police he was diagnosed with HIV and gonorrhea about a month after having sex with Johnson in his dorm room.
Court records show Johnson failed to wear a condom and didn’t tell his partners he is HIV positive. When two asked if he had any diseases, he said no.
The arrest was the culmination of a five-month investigation on the Lindenwood wrestler, who was a state champion in high school.
instagram.com
Police believe Johnson may have met his partners on one of his six social media accounts: three Facebook pages, two Twitter feeds, a Vine account, and an Instagram, according to the Riverfront Times.
instagram.com
After finding the tapes on a laptop, prosecutors now believe the partners were clueless the 22-year-old was HIV positive or that they were being taped.
“On that laptop were 32 videos engaged in sexual acts with Mr. Johnson,” said St. Charles County prosecutor Tim Lohmar.
Law enforcement are now trying to identify the students in the videos, which have shaken up the small campus about 20 miles outside of St. Louis.
“Obviously, for a victim to come forward is something that takes a lot of courage,” Lohmar said. “They also have to know that they are going to be part of this public prosecution.”
