Richard Sherman.
"I'm the best corner in the game!"
Sherman's past game antics will drive a lot of people crazy, but his play will drive his opponents just as crazy. The play he made to seal the deal against rivaled 49ers will go down as one of the best plays of the season, considering the moment. But taunting, and then freaking out in an interview, that just isn't acceptable, and it greatly embarrasses a team.
The Seattle Seahawks used their 12th man to inch past the San Francisco 49ers, and to clinch their spot against the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl. The score left on the board was 23-16.
Just as you thought Colin Kaepernick would lead the 49ers on another late round charge to win the game, you realized he was playing the best defense in the NFL. Though he may be slightly crazy, Richard Sherman made a hell of a play to force an interception, and win the game. He kept Crabtree's hands off of the ball, but in his face. After the interception, Sherman went to have a word with Michael Crabtree, but all he got was a hand to the face, and then a 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for taunting. You would think he could have a little sportsmanship as he clinched his team the victory. But no.
This game will be remembered for its intensity, and its close finish down the stretch. But it will be remembered more for Richard Sherman's outrageous acting after he won the game. Sherman owes the Seahawks, the 49ers, Erin Andrews, and the NFL an apology for his actions.
The Super Bowl should contain a good battle between the best offense, and the best defense. It will really be a test of the survival of the fittest to see who can grab the trophy in a cold New York day.
