I’m astonished at how many conservatives are defending this behavior and saying “oh well, he was just fired up”. I’ve been watching this game all my life and I’ve never seen this in a post game interview. Never. Trash talk on the field and off the TV screen is one thing.
Maybe we are all making too big a deal of it but if folks are going to defend someone acting like a complete ahole, then others are going to defend decency and professionalism.
Mr. Sherman was being a real Richard in that interview, but Fox is just as culpable in this, if you ask me.
Football is, was and always will be a sport of high emotion. Sherman had just made a defensive play that was the deciding factor in who will be going to the Super Bowl. He makes that play, his team goes. He doesn’t make it, 90% chance Crabtree catches it, and the 49ers are going to the swamplands of New Jersey. Who wouldn’t be amped to the hilt after that play? For Fox to grab the guy at that time and ask a stupid question like “Walk me through the play” at that time gets what they deserve.
