Just another Swagger Tirade


For as long as I can remember, I have never seen a TV rant receiving such an intense backlash. Sherman's one post-game interview sent ripples across the world and set off a firestorm on social networks right after it aired on televison. I really did not understand why would it create such venom in public view at first. But then I have come to realize that not many people know that Sherman has always been a polarizing figure among professional athletes. Furthermore, one thing cannot be denied: Sure, he talks a lot. But he always backs his trash talking up.


Who is Richard Sherman actually? He comes straight outta Compton, has a master's degree from Stanford university and is an outstanding athlete, "a true shutdown corner". All in all, he was right on cue here and anybody who says otherwise probably does not know the difference between swagger and arrogance. All he did was good for the sake of entertainment and I certainly don't think that there's anything wrong with having this drive. Besides, his actions here are completely justified because he has to play in the loudest stadium in the world on a weekly basis. Haha. During sports events, tirades like these just put the icing on the cake. It is always pleasure to hear Sherman talk and quotes like "I've seen better legs on a snake." or "Aha, you suck! You wanna this knowin'. You wanna this knowin'." will never get old. A big fan of Richard Sherman here. "And that's the result you're gonna get. Don't you ever talk about the best. LOB."

Keepin' it real.
