I think Sherman is an interesting character. I didn't like the Seahawks and was rooting for the 49ers and was going to root for the Broncos in the Super Bowl. But the backlash he got for making a comment that really wasn't that bad has pushed me to root for them. He graduated Stanford. He finished second in his class in High School. He is a amarter and more accomplished man than me. He does charity work, he goes back to his old neighborhood. He has never been in trouble with the law. Never been arrested or suspended in the NFL. He is a model player. So he talked a big game. Shut him up by beating him. We have had athletes who talk and they have been loved. Jordan talked. Babe Ruth trash talked. Muhammad Ali trash talked. There isn't anything wrong with it in my book. You don't want someone to trash talk you, you beat them on the field. I don't do it myself. But when someone does, I don't see it as unprofessional. It is part of the profession. These guys are playing a game. They can't all answer questions with grace and humility. It is boring. It is contrite and it reeks of being fake. I need characters like Sherman in my life because it makes things interesting.
