I like Russell Wilson a lot. Thats what sucks so bad about him having Sherman on his team. Wilson is the kind of guy I like to root for. All in all, I was rooting for Seattle in that game, largely because I think so much more of Russell Wilson than Kaepernick, both as a player and a person.
And no doubt I am a huge Steve Smith fan. I have no issues with trash talk during the game and fire and passion for the game the way Steve Smith shows it. Steve Smith has been one of my favorite players in the game for years. I always try to draft him in fantasy leagues. He was on my team 3 years in a row.
Richard Sherman is just a complete douche. Ive never seen a "professional" athlete act that way. Its a joke. Figures Rob19 would be a Sherman apologist. Easy prediction. His first line about the Stanford degree was predictable as well.
Professional athlete? Please. It's entertainment and they're playing a GAME. Professional, to me, is met when the player is not dirty and not cheating. Everything else is pretty much fair game to me, especially when you consider the barbaric nature of the sport and the ultra-competitiveness needed to succeed at the pro level. A lot of guys are going to have a chip on their shoulder; if they can backup their smack talk with results, kudos to them.
We should be happy (and not surprised or behold them to a higher standard) when one of them acts like he's a wrestler in the WWF. Some guys (Larry Bird, Michael Jordon, Ray Lewis, etc.) love to feed off of smack talk and he just happens to be one of those guys.
Wish the fins had more players with talent + swag like Sherm.
