January 20, 201412 yr I find it funny that so many BGPers are obsessed with UK fans. Do we really want to talk about fan bases and obsession? :lol2:
January 20, 201412 yr Unfortunately only caught the last 10 minutes of this game but I have a feeling that Mr. Crabtree must have spent a fair amount of time during the game interacting with Mr. Sherman.
January 20, 201412 yr The taunting is part of the game IMO and I didn't have a problem with that. Drawing all the attention to yourself after a team accomplishment is what I didn't like. True. Sad.
January 20, 201412 yr I will tell you who was exposed. Vernon Davis. He wanted no part of being out there especially after Cam Chancellor nearly took off his head.
January 20, 201412 yr No, it's not. If you want to watch sports where nobody talks trash, everybody gets along 100% of the time, and nobody ever speaks their mind, have at it. That is boring, and not fun to watch, IMO.
January 20, 201412 yr If I were a receiver facing Sherman, I would not say one word to him ... not one. I would ignore everything he says. Every time I made a catch, I would hustle back to the huddle, tell my QB and teammates in the huddle that I own this guy and get me another one and then get ready to catch another one on him. I would be the stronger player mentally. I would not fuel his fire. I would give him no emotion to use to his advantage. Guys that run their mouths like that don't know how to deal with it when you don't give them what they want.
January 20, 201412 yr I will tell you who was exposed. Vernon Davis. He wanted no part of being out there especially after Cam Chancellor nearly took off his head. Chancellor has put some hard hits on Davis in the past.. See below for one from last season... It was a clean hit IMO (unless you want to argue that he launched himself... Definitely not helmet to helmet) but he got penalized for it. Davis doesn't mess with Kam anymore. http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images_root/article/media_slots/photos/000/659/348/VernonDavisCrushed_original.gif?1356316434
January 20, 201412 yr Do you recall the interview with Wes Welker where he continually made fun of Rex Ryan because of his alleged foot fetish? If I remember properly he was benched for his actions in that interview. Sounds like you owe Big Black Jack a steak dinner... So just so I understand. A guy going to the podium and making references to feet to get a jab in on Rex and his wife's foot fetish is in the same boat as a guy taunting a receiver after the play, then having multiple interviews on the field claiming to be the greatest in the game, calling his counterpart mediocre, and then after a shower, getting back in the spotlight to let everybody know again that he is the best and Crabtree is mediocre? Welker was suspended because Belicheck told the team not to say anything "news worthy". If Sherman was a patriot, he wouldn't see the field in 2 weeks. But thank you for helping me. After seeing you group those two instances together I completely understand how ignorant people can be.

That is boring, and not fun to watch, IMO. No problem, if you like the clownish side show that distracts from the real competition, go for it. I can appreciate the game without it. I can appreciate that Sherman made a great play. I can appreciate that the QB made a great throw but he needed to make a perfect throw with Sherman covering. I can appreciate the LB trailing the play who actually made the play that sealed the game but who nobody is talking about. I can appreciate second guessing the OC and QB who targeted Sherman, which was an obvious mistake. I don't need the white noise to appreciate greatness.

That is boring, and not fun to watch, IMO. Sherman's recovery and deflection on what would have been a perfectly thrown game winning TD pass was fun to watch. Everything he did after that was not. If I wanted that, I would watch pro wrestling ... and I don't watch pro wrestling.
January 20, 201412 yr Sherman's recovery and deflection on what would have been a perfectly thrown game winning TD pass was fun to watch. Everything he did after that was not. To each his own.
January 20, 201412 yr Some people take this WAY too seriously. My God, who cares how he reacted or what he said? He was pumped. I thought it was funny, it entertained me. That's the reason I watch sports in the first place. To be entertained. Sherman did that. And no, I don't care whether he was classy, or classless, or any of that. None of that factors in to why I watch sports in the slightest. Also, anyone who considers athletes as role models probably shouldn't have children. They're clearly clueless.

That is boring, and not fun to watch, IMO. I didn't realize you had to be a punk to make entertaining tv. You are correct, trash talking and taunting is part of the game to an extent. But your telling me it's okay to act the way he did in 3 separate interviews on the field after the game and then, after he's "had a chance to cool off" continuing tO talk trash and tell people he is the greatest?
