Sherman

How about Shermans post game interview? "Don't try me with a sorry ass receiver like Crabtree!" Classic and hilarious.

No class, typical NFL grandstanding. The guy should have just shut his mouth and acted like a professional.

There has been bad blood between Sherman and Crabtree since preseason. Sports writers often complain that all they get is typical cookie cutter sports metaphors when interviewing players. Well, they got something different.

Agreed.

The Niners and some of their fans want to have it both ways. Many of their players and coaches talk trash and walk with a swagger but when the team comes up short, they deflect attention away from their own performance by talking about the "unprofessional" conduct of the other guys.

The "what ifs" will be coming.
What would have happened if the "running in to the kicker" penalty had been called correctly? IMHO it's all part of the game.

I thought the trash talking revealed the lack of class and unprofessionalism by Sherman.

For a youngster, Russell Wilson showed how to do it right.

Yeah different all right. All I could understand was "Well &#?!! ...somethin, somethin, Crabtree, somethin, somethin &#?!!. Shannon Sharp should interview him...that'd be an unintelligible hoot.

Even Erin Andrews said that Sherman's post game interview "was so awesome". We love him, and he is "the best corner in the game".
