There is no question that he is extremely talented, smart, and a tremendous asset to the Seahags team. There is also no question that those who hold his contract ignore anything else that isn't related to on-field play and preparation. Sherman is a commodity to them. Nothing more. MAybe if the Seahags win the Super Bowl, Sherman will grow up. We'll see.
It will be a most interesting game, I'm sure you will agree. As to Denver focusing on Sherman, well, game prep will find as many weak spots as possible in an excellent defense, then Peyton will seek to exploit them. I don't think Sherman is a weakness, so I don't expect they will try to exploit him. Trash talkin' has always been a part of the psyche in professional football. It works to switch focus of some players so it will remain a part of the game.
I have the utmost respect for a kid from the dregs of society, Compton, California. 70 years ago when my parents first moved to SoCal, it was a place no decent person wanted to live. Richard has taken what has been offered and used it very wisely. My gut tells me that he is an alright guy.
Shall we talk about Denver’s Wes Welker taking out NE safety? Think Welker wasn’t trying to “take out” Aquib Talib Sunday? Of course he was.
Just like they’ll try that with Sherman in two weeks. However, Welker better bring help, Sherman is far too smart to get caught up like Talib.
I for one can’t wait for the game and I hope the ref’s let them play.
Since the game will be the “Pot Bowl” I’m wondering how many fans will be playing drinking/smoking games like take a shot or bong hit every time Manning says “Omaha” and who’ll be awake at half time to hear that pathetic act of Red Hot Chili Peppers/Bruno Mars? I for one am sick of the Superbowl’s half time shows of the past 5 years or so.
