I'm sure you've all seen it.

Seattle Seahawks Cornerback Richard Sherman going off on San Francisco 49ers Wide Receiver Micheal Crabtree after the NFC Championship in a Post Game Interview. There are reports saying that He and Crabtree have had a Feud for a while, I don't know all the Details.

Now Sherman is getting a lot of Negative Feedback.

People are calling him a Moron, and Totally Uneducated. Saying that he only went to Stanford because he was good at Football, not because he was Smart. And other things were said on Facebook/Twitter that I won't repeat.

You don't have to like what he said, and you don't have to like him. But here are somethings you probably didn't know about Sherman.

1. The guy graduated High School 2nd in his Class with a 4.2 GPA.
2. Scored a 1400 out of 1600 on the SAT.
3. Went to Stanford and got his Degree in Communications, and is currently getting his Masters.

Is he outspoken? Yeah
Is he a guy that runs his mouth? Yeah
Is he an Uneducated Moron? Absolutely Not

And he did Apologize. Not for what he said, but for taking all the Attention away from his Teammates and the Accomplishment that they made of going to the Superbowl.

Live and learn. A lot of athletes have said things they later regret. Not the first, won't be the last. A lot of ppl overlook that he was speaking 'in the moment' and there was a lot of energy and emotion. Every one of us has said things in the heat of the moment we regret and you try and learn from it.

"Is he an Uneducated Moron? Absolutely Not" - no, but an overpaid moron, just the same. Even with the energy of the moment, etc., you can still have some class, especially if you are "highly educated".

They were trash talking each other the whole game, in the end Sherman won, no big deal at all here!

FUCK RICHARD SHERMAN!!!

Now that I got that out of the way, let me explain. 1st, I am a Niners fan, so FUCK RICHARD SHERMAN. lol

The guy is a great player, but the best? Hell no. Darrelle Revis is the best corner out there. I am pissed at Sherman because you DO NOT berate your opponent on camera. Trash talk during the game is normal and I don't care. Talk all the shit you want. If Sherman was on camera talking how great is he, then whatever. But once he said "that sorry receiver......" that is when he went over the line. You just do not disrespect your opponent on camera. If you do, then you will get backlash. Simple as that. Richard Sherman had the opportunity to talk about the PLAY he made, but instead he decided to berate his opponent. Now, no one is talking about the PLAY he made which was great, but instead talking about him. He has NO ONE to blame but himself.

However, all the bullshit racial talk is just that, bullshit. Richard Sherman is a highly educated man and he is not a thug. An ass sure, but not a thug, not an uneducated person. To see the racial talk is sad. It is not because of his skin color he is that way.

AMEN.

There are plenty of players in the League that I don't like, but I respect.

Me personally, I love the guy. Even though he got into it with Trent Williams last year after the Wild Card game when Seattle came to Washington. I'd kill for a guy like that on the Redskins.

If he wants to talk about himself, fine. Players in Sports do it all the time, that's nothing new. But I don't agree with putting someone down on camera like that. Though I do think most of it was just him being caught up in the Moment. I mean you just made probably the biggest play in your Career, so I think most of it was his Emotion coming out. But still, you should show some class in Victory.

You can call him an Ass, you can call him a Big Mouth, or anything along that line. But when the Racial Tweets and Stuff came out, that's when things went too far.

Off the Field, the guy is nothing but a Model Citizen.
