Have even more respect for Mr. Brady now

But the thing is, they are role models. A high school kid playing CB on his high school football will look up to him as a role model and want to be like him one day. Kids will pick up anything he says or does. That is part of the reason people talk about stuff like this. I'm not saying what he did was right or wrong, I'm merely saying athletes are role models and need to be held to higher standards when in the public eye.
Especcially when it is something that relates to their sport. I don't expect an athlete to be a role model for fidelity or alcoholism or whatever personal issue they have, I do when it comes to sportsmanship and how to represent your team and the sport.
Says the guy who's team took a cheap shot on our gunner when he went out of bounds on a kick-off. Great sportsmanship there.
Here we go. Now we have a source, that's not Sherman's brother, who also witnessed the event. Says Sherman was the instigator and was the one angry. Seems much more plausible considering their personalities and the fact that Crabtree was in a cast. If true that makes him a lying sack of **** too.

a source who was at the Fitzgerald charity event—and who has no familial or professional relationship to Sherman or Crabtree—
Wow, you just believe anyone who gives you information that you like don't you? Some dude said it was Sherman....MUST BE TRUE!!!!
Idiot
Sherman's brother, who wasn't even there, is the other source.
So you're going with "some guy" over his brother?
Also thanks tripper for tuning me into the new app was wondering wtf was going on

Richard Sherman probably appeals to a certain segment of the population. It's just not people that want the game to be played inside the lines and for the players to conduct themselves as professionals outside the lines. Does Brady trash talk? Hell yeah. He does it inside the lines and backs it up with his play. Plenty of Players do that from all teams. You hear interviews from former players about how this guy or that guy was always talking.
Point is, it takes a big man and a professional to do it on the field, and walk away. It's the punks that keep talking afterwards. Let's be honest, would you have more or less respect for Richard Sherman if he acted like a pro?
I gotta guess that a big part of it starts at the top of the organization. I know Robert Kraft would not put up with that ****. Look what happened to Wes Welker for a couple foot comments. I only use the Patriots as an example because that is who I know. I doubt teams like GB would put up with it either.
Richard Sherman could get a lot of respect for what he does, but respect is earned, not given. You can't tell people how good you are and expect that they will respect you. I can see he is a gifted athlete, but I have very little respect for him.
You're quite welcome. In return, kindly click off the damned checkbox at the bottom of the compose screen that causes your phone to end your poasts with something not one friggin' soul gives a **** about...
Cheers!![]()
Haha didn't even realize that's what it was for. GD new app what was wrong with the last.
Bottom line: you catch a guy for an interview 30 seconds after the biggest play/game of his life and his adrenaline is pumpin because some chump named Crabtree was an a$$hole to him and he finally exacted his revenge.
Did he make some out of character off-color comments that he regrets? Absolutely. Is he a malicious un-classy guy? Absolutely not.
Sherman, through his nonprofit and personal income gives away more $ to Children's hospitals than 90% of the players in this league and he does so with a much smaller salary. Just saying you gotta look at the whole picture.
You're quite the contrarian. I thought we were talking about Sherman?
Since you brought it up.. Crabtree is far from shy. Search google for Vernon Davis and Crabtree altercation. This knucklehead fights with people on his own team. So Chump, yeah he's a chump!
There's that shyness again wonder who he's not talking about. As a shy guy he surely wouldn't speak out against anyone.
