It’s sad to watch,, one more sport in the gutter.. and they deflated the HumpDome last week too..

Bring back the old days,, ben davidson, ted hendricks, butkus, nietszhke, tatum.. Refs and officials that could see and knew the rules.

I don’t need shrill sidedine reporters and players that are playing a mind game and losing it for all to see.

I don’t care if the guy is All-NFL Pro for the next 10 years, and Yes, he was a sharp fella academically, unfortunately the game lost face fwiw these days, and we won’t go into the officiating.. wow. just wow. The kickers were pretty good at least considering it was a calm day. That’s what really hurt Kaep, he was playing his windage wrong. or sumthin. lol

not to worry,, Nascar is almost ready to roll another gutter ball so don’t sell the ranch yet

It's not as if NASCAR hasn't had its own brawls in recent years, up to and including deliberate collisions on the track, which in my view is a bit more irresponsible than football trash-talk.

As for Richard Sherman, his outburst was unfortunate and undoubtedly lost the Seahawks some of the nation's casual fans. But, as others have pointed out, the level of on-field trash-talking in the NFL would shock a lot of people, so Sherman's comments were not as outrageous as they might have seemed. Boasting is ubiquitous, but fans are usually shielded from the angrier manifestations of it. No doubt Crabtreee had been saying some things that Sherman found very insulting.

Football writers almost universally say that Richard Sherman is a likeable guy despite his bombast, and he and Russell Wilson are the twin faces of this Seahawk team. Wilson is the modest Boy Scout, Sherman is the swagger guy. As my girlfriend put it (in a bit more graphic manner than I am putting it here), Sherman is the guy you'd like to have a fling with, Wilson is the guy you'd like to marry.
