You ought to see Portland this morning. The sea of bandawagon Seahawk fans has opened it's floodgates. Co workers that I know aren't big footbal fans came in his morning with go Seahawk gusto. Meh. I don't care one way or another. I will say they are FAR FAR less annoying than the Duck fans. Ugh, those people.
I just imagine bandwagon seahawks fan as a guy with hipster glasses and a soccer style seahawks scarf, holding a cup of some stupid conction he had made up at starbucks for 8 dollars...

I have off today, but it will be interesting to see how many people are sporting Seahawks gear tomorrow in the office.
Per annoying, even Duck fans are less annoying that the 49ers fans - facebook was loaded all day yesterday with crying and moaning about the game all 3+ hours of it. Tomorrow will be hell listening to a few of those in person talking about the Navarro fumble recovery and the "vicious mangling of the punter" being the reason they lost, as if the three turnovers from their hero QB god didn't impact the game at all. I don't like the Steelers or the Ravens, but there's no team I dislike more than the 49ers. I'm kinda wishing I still had my Seahawks season tickets, I'd love to have seen the 49er fans crying in person.

All players talk smack to each other during the game "on the field". The game was over, that type of talk has NO PLACE in an interview, especially when done in an insulting manner like Sherman done.
As for Twitter, hey if those guys want to yap across Twitter, that's fine, they can deal with their own personal issues off camera in anyway they see fit.
Sherman's behavior in that interview was just in poor taste.

It's funny. All the football people at work said virtually something along this line: "I liked Seattle winning and was even going to root for them in the SB... until Sherman's thug interview. Now they can down like the classless acts they are".

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."
That about says it all. I can't argue with any of it.

I guess that's part of the risk you take when you interview somebody 2 minutes after such an emotional game where they played such an integral part... you run the risk of that guy not being down from his emotional high yet.... granted Sherman seems to live on that edge a little more than most...

Just a man defending himself. I know it's not PC, but it's true. Last year Crabtree tried to fight Sherman at a Charity event, so there's some bad blood in between them. I think it's unfortunate when someone defends themselves against hostile people they get called out as "Thugs".

Anybody who thought Sherman was a "thug" after his interview has obviously never grown up in a bad neighborhood...
He could have taken the high road, but that's definitely not thug.
He was heated, and threw out an insult, and then yelled at the guy. It was more WWE-esque than thug.
Hard to really imagine what the guy was feeling after he just made a play that sealed his team's trip to the super bowl.

If I was looking to troll Crabtree I would have probably done it differently.
We rip these guys for being robots in front of a microphone and we rip them for saying what's on their mind.
How many guys who are trashing Sherman are the same tools who call into sports talk shows and complain that they want a coach who's all crazy on the sidelines? Double standard?

I like what Erin Andrews said today.. "He lost his mind and it was awesome.. for once." Evidently she's tired of asking the same old questions and getting the same old canned responses too.
I liked his emotion, the problem I had with his answer it was very Muhammad Ali-esque... I'm the greatest, look at me, don't throw it at me, Crabtree isn't any good... I know in his interview about Tom Brady he was pretty condescending toward Brady and he talked about his defense as a team and Tom Brady being just one man...
In the end, I don't think he's a bad guy, he's obviously very outspoken, I'd love to have him opposite Joe Haden, I think he would make Haden better... I think most peoples reaction was out of shock, because that is NOT what they are used to hearing in a postgame interview...

Hipster glasses, a hipster beard with handlebar mustache, tight black denim pants, and the scarf would be a green Portland Timber's (soccer) scarf turned so the logo is hidden. They wouldn't own an actual Seahawks scarf as they're not really a fan... until today. Starbucks? No, too many actual coffee shops around. We Portlanders do love good coffee.

Browns really are the laughing stock..I mean we are getting trash talked from people in other conferences now..lol. He was just pointing out the obvious, Josh Gordon is a stud and we have trash at QB...yes even Hoyer...I don't get the love for him..He didn't show me anything a capable backup couldn't do..I mean theres a reason he's been a backup,. I don't want to rely on Hoyer being the starter.. We need our QB this year..bottom line. Now back to your regularly schedule Sherman bashing

My initial reaction was the same as most everybody else's last night. Then I took some time to reflect today and decided to add my thoughts:
He writes a good article, so I know he is not un- nor under-educated.
His post game rant was classless at the very least.
I don't see him as a thug, more like somebody desperately wanting recognition among his peers; rather deserved or not.
With that said, his final play was OUTSTANDING. The Seahawks earned the win last night.

At the very least he could have snuck in a couple "woo!"s in there....
Reading the quotes from the rant, the one thing I don't get is that he called out the 49'ers for lining Crabtree against him, but doesn't football work the other way around? Doesn't the CB pick what WR he is going to cover? I mean they're the ones that have a little more freedom to move around before the ball is snapped out. Couldn't the 49'ers have called him out for not covering Boldin (LOL)

i think the only reason for the rant was...while still kinda rubbing it in, Sherman ran to shake crabtree's hand, they got into it, and crabtree pushed shermans helmet back.
thats what set him off. but hey, good ole football, i love it when people hate each other like that, makes for excellent football.

don't use facts.
some are going to try and claim he only was there for football, and got passed through all his classes, like they say for everybody else.

I understand the sentiment and, in part, I agree with you.. but it could get out of hand quickly... In all honesty, I think it's more fun that it's rare.. If they were all doing it every game, it wouldn't be nearly as entertaining as it is now when it actually does happen.

I was reading USA Today at lunch and one article suggested that a media outlet should hire Crabtree to do an interview with Sherman.
Now that one I would tune in to.

not enough time to real all the post...probably stated somewhere but....
One of the most heinous bad calls I've ever seen in football.
Bowman recovers a fumble...gets an unbelievable destructive hit on his knee...screams in agony with a Seahawk still touching his knee falls on his back. But has the Guts to hold onto the ball...not a wiggle or roll - solid in his hands...he is down by contact for a full second - my goodness where are the refs. Then they pile on top of him while hes screaming with pain and sure a Seahawk was able to take the ball away from him. How did they not see Bowman with the ball nobody on him only his knee down on one leg has been covered and in clear site with possession of the ball - worst yet, its not reviewable - there was no scrum to make the tough call.
The sacrificed his freaking leg and the REFS blow it!!! terrible
Oh Sherman...he's an Ass but one heck of a good football player. And I took that as props not trash about the Browns...finally we got a kid who is being talked about. We all know we didn't have a QB well maybe except Haslam...although I think he was wrong about Hoyer he could have left his name out of that equation jmho

That's not true. I've heard from a bunch of different fans (many transplants in town here) and they all said Hoyer looked great in the small sampling everyone saw.

Did you ever wonder why that is?
Kirk Cousins through his first 2 years is: 203 attempts (56.2% completions) - 8 TDs, 10 INTs - Y/A of 6.5 QBR 68.6, As QB of record, he's 1-4... yet people have wondered if the Skins should keep him over RGIII and some Browns fans have speculated on what we could give up to get him...
Matt Schaub in his first 3 years in Atlanta was: 161 attempts (52.2% completions) - 6 TDs, 6 INTs, Y/A of 6.4, QBR 69.2, as QB of record he's 0-2.. He did it for an above .500 playoff caliber team.... he turned that into millions of dollars and a starting gig in Houston and a lot of Browns fans wanted him before he went to Houston..
Hoyer in his first 5 years with scattered appearances is: 192 attempts (59.4% completions) - 7 TDs, 6 INTs, Y/A of 6.4, QBR 77.4, as QB of record he's 3-1... yet nobody but a few scattered Browns fans think he's any good...
So in roughly the same number of attempts, Hoyer has the best completion %, the best TD/INT ratio, the same Y/A, the best QB rating, the best winning percentage... and it could easily be argued that he did most of it for the worst team..... Strange ain't it?

Don't agree, I visit a board which is completely neutral (bodybuilding forum). Anytime a QB is brought up, they ask me about Hoyer and how we were humming along with Hoyer.
Casual NFL fans might not have noticed but true NFL fans from other teams absolutely did.

didn't mean to make this a Hoyer thread...was pretty much solid on Hoyer but it was the call that just got to me...even though the next play the 49ers recovered a fumble...but the point was that in that case you would expect Bowman to let go of the ball...he did not he courageously held on n for the refs to take that away from him! terrible.

I agree. Still not sure why it can't be reviewed. Isn't "down by contact" reviewable? Isn't possession of a fumble reviewable? Isn't that scenario, a potential game changing turnover on the goal line of a conference championship game the EXACT reason they went with instant replay in the first place?

Other than the guy getting hurt, which is awful, and I hope he gets better, the whole situation could not have worked out better.
1. SF got the ball back (only to give it up a few plays later)
2. I think the call was so atrocious, and even more that the stupid rules didn't allow for a review will cause the competition committee to get this right. That could be challengeable. It was as clear as day. He recovered the ball with nobody on him and 2 cameras got great looks at it. When there's a pileup, that's always going to be the same, the guys block the view so the call on the field is the one that counts, but that situation can be avoided with a simple challenge. They'll figure it out. Hopefully they do away with challenges and just let the booth handle it.

Yeah, plus who on this board besides a select few, hasn't trashed Brandon Weeden? Richard Sherman said nothing that wasn't true when mentioning our team.
