‘To Those Who Would Call Me a Thug or Worse …’
I show passion on the football field—but that’s only a small part of who I am. If you want to judge me, I can handle it.

What a night, and what a finish.
Near midnight I still had about 70 unread text messages from friends and family, most of which read, “Best interview ever!” Many of my Twitter mentions were less supportive. My body ached. I was thrilled and proud and upset, all at once.
Here’s what happened …

Sensationalism in the media? What degree does Sherman hold from Stanford that I’ve been reading about? Oh yes, in Communications. But likely Sherman was being spontaneous by vocalizing his defensive battles against the San Fran receiver(s) that only ended a few moments ago.
Somehow the part about trying to shake the hand of what’s his name 49er, and the guy shoved him in the face. This was just prior to getting a mic pushed in his face has become forgotten.
“Classy” is not a term that I could honestly associate with Seattle.
The Broncos just beat the Patriots. We shall see how they fair against
the thugs from Seattle.
So he is a smart thug. A thug none the less.
A lot of these student athletes are graduated without cracking a book
You don’t know why he says OMAHA? He was offered $800 dollars to his charity by the Omaha, chamber for every time he said the word. He raised something over $28,000 for his charity so far.
I'm rapidly losing interest myself. That's after having been a devoted NFL fan for 44 years.
Yeah, you are right. Football means little in the grand scheme of it all.
Not this one. He graduated 2nd in his high school class before heading to Stanford an earning a 4.0.
Not true. Sherman is an aggressive player, but a thug, not a chance.
I’ll bet, the NFL does not fine Sherman and something else, EVERYBODY in America has heard of Richard Sherman and he plays Corner for the Seattle Seahawks. The average Joe can’t say that about any other Corner on any other team....
He yells it repeatedly because he needs lots of filler for his time clock hogging snap counts. I don’t know when he started, but he’s done it every game I’ve seen the 49ers in this season.
Later the Omaha Chamber got on board for the playoff game donating $24.8k to his kids at risk charity. Some round that up to 25. Haven’t read if they are carrying it over to the SB.
Sherman is a disgrace to -— Stanford.
Sorry about coming late to the Party!
I was looking for a photo of his HEAD coach Peter Carroll. It was when Peter was a DC with the Jets! Little Peter was seen doing a choke hold sign when Miami’s Pete Stoyanovich missed an extra point. Game was on Dec.20.1992.
Miami came back to win later in the game on a game winning kick by Stoyanovich. Read here:http://articles.philly.com/1992-12-22/sports/25994559_1_miami-s-pete-stoyanovich-dolphins-kicker-pete-carroll
The point I’d like to make is Sherman just learned his manners from his HEAD coach when he rants and did the Choke Sign.
Snip, ‘Miami coach Don Shula said he didn’t see the choke gesture, but added that ‘’if he did do it, I’m glad it came back to haunt him.”
As a Dolphin Fan(1969), I have hopes Don Shulas desires and a huge dose of Karma hits Little Peter in the a$$, at the SB!
