After seeing this right after the game with the San Francisco 49ers vs. Seattle Seahawks the determining of who will compete in the super bowl. Of course I can understand that at this point in time Sherman is really pumping a lot of adrenalin and I feel as though theres really no time to take composure of himself and think of what will be said. Also the fact that it seems nobody was really expecting that outburst from him especially when the interviewer has to question again and ask who he is referring to, than Sherman continues too pause and thing, but I could be wrong and it could’ve been planned.
Richard Sherman vs. Skip Bayless

This interview is one of the ones that i analyzed closely than others. Skip Bayless is known to go after athletes that are more so conceded with themselves. A couple things that really stood out to me are the beginning of the interview when the first question is asked and Richard behind speaking with sort of a fake yawn (thats how it comes off to me) I can’t completely explain how that portrays in my own mind, but I can say that it does not make him look good. Also in minute 2:32 Stephen A has a facial expression that just sort of explain it all, as well as right than he goes on to say something along the lines of will you guys stop. All in all I would feel that this is an indication that the situation has been taken too far, even for media..but than you continue into the question of what is too far for media?
The posting below is my own personal opinions I have regarding Sherman and shared with people on my Facebook profile and thought it would be a good addition to this posting for my blog. I’m a Seahawks fan and have been ever since I was little, but all in all I don’t like some of the aggressive comments he’s made in some of the interviews i’ve seen and I believe if could’ve found another way to go about sharing some of his thoughts, but I can agree with him being great at what he does and he’s also a caring and genuine guy from other blogs, articles etc. i’ve read that offer positive comments, thoughts and facts on Sherman.
I was always really into football and have enjoyed watching it. BUT this year i’ve gained a better insight on the game as well as I feel more accurate on my thoughts regarding some of the different things i’ve been analyzing an observing in the NFL. As i work on a bit of hw that is based on Richard Sherman and his actions last weekend and a few more interviews from over time etc specifically i’m analyzing the interview between skip bayless and and sherman back in may. i’ve lost SOO much respect for Sherman, at least at this moment in time. As an individual he has a lot of great accomplishments that I respect like graduating stanford with a awesome GPA and great GPA graduating high school, he was a 5th round draft pick up which i believe he should’ve been higher etc, but I am appalled by Sherman as well as Seahawk fans this year. As a Seahawk fan and discussing these things w my friends who are fans of rival teams etc. they’ve pointed out these exact things to me, BUT at that moment in time when they told me, as a fan I want to protect my team (hawks) and have comebacks, shit talk or whatever because well hey who likes when your team gets bashed on, and its all in the fun of football. BUTTT I must say this years been a complete disgrace in my own opinion from some of the actions i’ve seen out of our fans and after watching these interviews. i’ve seen a whole different side of Sherman as well as the fans. SERIOUSLY seattle your going to throw food and such at an injured player, thats some serious poor sportsmanship and it somewhat makes me feel embarrassed to be a fan, at least at that moment in time, than to go to Sherman and some of the comments he has made in media recently, the two that stand out and lead me to want to post my thoughts an opinions so far are his interview with Skip Bayless and how he goes about that interview, as well as the commentary that was made instantly after Seattles win last Sunday against the 49ers, its all a bit was shocking. I understand that a player has a rush of adrenalin at the moment and is excited to be advancing to the Super Bowl but WHY is seattle taking this awesome season as an excuse to talk so much shit and showing these poor acts of sportsmanship instead of being humble and happy for our team, were making history. All in all I still say go hawks and i hope we win the bowl!
All in all I don’t absolutely hate Richard Sherman, I see him as a great athlete, he has accomplished a lot in his life as well as this season and previous ones but at this time i’m not his biggest fan after some of the actions i’ve seen from him, specifically this season.
