Devil's Advocate
Tons of love in that handshake.
The week 17 meeting between Rams and Seahawks that got flexed to SNF (winner won the division) was the highest rated SNF in history at the time.Not sure if they have rules for how often they allow teams to be used in flex, but if there's a limit, they'd better not spend them all, because they'll want to get St Louis @ Seattle week 17.Flex gamesI still think its a crime the Seahawks only got 1 SNF game. This is it.
Really? C'mon. A no brainer challenge to make and be happy about. Harbaugh does the same exact thing in that situation and we all know it. You're reaching here.Lol winning a challenge with a fat lead......only the devil does thatI'd be excited, too, if I was him.Carrol pumpin his fist with a fat lead....hate that fool
What'd he say?And here I thought Sherman was going to give an interview without being a tool...
Which is sad, considering how mediocre both those teams were. It was just the only playoff spot left in doubt that year.The week 17 meeting between Rams and Seahawks that got flexed to SNF (winner won the division) was the highest rated SNF in history at the time.Not sure if they have rules for how often they allow teams to be used in flex, but if there's a limit, they'd better not spend them all, because they'll want to get St Louis @ Seattle week 17.Flex gamesI still think its a crime the Seahawks only got 1 SNF game.

What did he say? Thought it was a good interview, he just said look at the scoreboard to the doubters.And here I thought Sherman was going to give an interview without being a tool...
Yeah. A bit of humility there would've been the shark move.And here I thought Sherman was going to give an interview without being a tool...

He was giving props to the Niners, not being an arrogant tool, then started of about ignorant idiots who predicted SF would win. Not bad by Sherman's standards, but I'm not a fan of his brand of sportsmanship. He's becoming TO, only smarter.What'd he say?And here I thought Sherman was going to give an interview without being a tool...
It was. What do people want him to say? He went on and on about how great the 49ers are and what a challenge the game was.

Do I disagree that the media is ignorant? Largely, no. Do I think they are ignorant because some of them picked San Fran to win the game or the division? No. Do I think more of them picked San Fran? Nope... I think Sherm just created something to let him play with a bit more of a chip on his shoulder. A lot of the great ones do that.Do you disagree?I think they wanted him to say pretty much what he did without calling the media (or anyone) "idiots."It was. What do people want him to say?

I think this is about right. Professional sports allows some latitude for showmanship, Sherman IMO pushes that limit but doesn't go over it like TO did (TO has some personal issues Sherman doesn't, I think Sherman knows the line while TO never even considered it). He held Boldin to one catch tonight, IMO he can sa whatever he wanted without disrespecting that very good team on the other side. I think he did that.Do I disagree that the media is ignorant?

I'm the Scientist owning fools in that thread.I really miss subtitles. The subtitle of this thread used to be "Go back to college, Pete Carroll!"I used to enjoy bumping that thread, but it wouldn't make much sense now.He's a good ####### football coach.This game aside, I hate Pete Carroll more than every Niner hater combined hates Harbaugh. I'd really love to stab his face with a fork.![]()

I agree 100 percent.Not sure why people hate Richard Sherman, he talks a lot but the guy backs it up. He's well-spoken, good sportsmanship in that interview and he's a great player. I think he's awesome, great character in today's boring NFL.
But that's why people want those answers.... so they have something to ##### about.I agree 100 percent.Not sure why people hate Richard Sherman, he talks a lot but the guy backs it up.

People lament vanilla quotes and here is a guy who's anything but and he gets flack.
I've never seen a single post of his that wasn't biased and/or wrapped in a 12 flag. What it means is that he annoys the crap out of people who should be on his side.It probably says that when he isn't in obvious troll mode, he offers honest and unbiased criticism of the team, acknowledging they have some weaknesses, and doesn't wrap himself in a 12 flag.What does it mean to you that fellow Seahawk fans don't even like you?

I agree as well. Makes the league more entertaining, isn't that what it is for us fans anyways?I agree 100 percent.Not sure why people hate Richard Sherman, he talks a lot but the guy backs it up.

True.... but if you look at it from my point of view, not being accepted by your lot is points in his favor. He must be doing something right...I've never seen a single post of his that wasn't biased and/or wrapped in a 12 flag.

And it's likely what Goodell doesn't want. If you dislike Goodell, not sure how you can hate Sherman. Habitual line-stepper galore.I agree as well.

Let's have more of these "this game doesn't matter" quotes.Lol
We will see who is standing as NFC champs in January. I've never seen a team win it in September.
As he correctly pointed out, that Boldin catch wasn't his to cover. What he did do was only allow 26 yards (0 obviously to 200 yd rec Boldin) thrown his way by a guy that put up 400 last week. He can back it up, but then again so could TO. I didn't say he showed disrespect to the other team, that's what I said I liked about it. It was when he starts name calling and martyr-shticking that he gets annoying.I think this is about right. Professional sports allows some latitude for showmanship, Sherman IMO pushes that limit but doesn't go over it like TO did (TO has some personal issues Sherman doesn't, I think Sherman knows the line while TO never even considered it).

Well, I was thinking of my well-stated view of Squawk fans as a collective, but if you want to go another direction with it.... you have experience actling like standing on top of the world's shortest ladder is some sort of achievement. Please... regale us about how much value there is in those five division titles. Take pride in it. Act like it means more than one of those teams was worth a hill of beans.I can't look at it from the POV of habitual NFCW bottom feeders.

Absolutely hilarious. For as much as I talk down this "rivalry," the beef between those two is real and legit. Well played, Sherman. And way to get out of there before Harbs slaps you on the back.
Performance-enhancing architecture. The entire crowd should be suspended four games.136.6 dB. Apparently the 12 achieved the record.
You may be right. If the 9ers can't keep it within 25 it isn't going to be a rivalry very longAbsolutely hilarious. For as much as I talk down this "rivalry," the beef between those two is real and legit. Well played, Sherman. And way to get out of there before Harbs slaps you on the back.
At which point, Squawk fans will find a different team to beg for a rivalry.You may be right. If the 9ers can't keep it within 25 it isn't going to be a rivalry very longAbsolutely hilarious.
