Sherman is a tool (2 Viewers)

[Bigboy10182000]

IMO, there's no doubt he was not being sincere. Players rarely give these sort of congratulations while the game is going on (aside from victory formation snaps). Sometimes a player will congratulate an opponent after a good hit or a good play, but it's always the player on the losing end of the hit/play that gives the kudos, for obvious reasons.

Even if Sherman was trying to be sincere, it's pretty obvious that Crabtree would not be receptive to that kind of interaction with a guy he hates while walking off the field from the game-losing play. I'm a Sherman defender (in general, not every action he takes), but he deserved to get shoved in the face, and I don't think any less of Crabtree for doing so.

Seriously, does anyone think slapping your opponents ### in that situation is appropriate?

Well if you did it at your job.....

I agree with this 100%. I have no problem with people defending Sherman (and his message), the vitriol he was getting it across with was more shocking to me. But to lay this whole thing at the feet of Crabtree's shove is obscene.

It's hard to know what's in the heart of a man and judge his intent immediately after a heated situation like a game clinching play in the NFC championship; I sure as hell haven't been there. But it is easy to infer what a post game shove to the face mask means, and it isn't a sign of good sportsmanship. Fact is Crabtree should have been flagged for that action just as Sherman deserved the flag for the choke sign (which was in response to the shove).

The rest of it; Sherman patting Crabtree on the butt, extending his hand and saying what he said to Crabtree, even the Andrews interview, is all a bunch of subjectively overanalyzed nonsense. None of that matters in terms of the game, or really anything, other than media driven sensationalistic pre-Super Bowl hype. It doesn't tell you a thing about who Sherman is, nor does Crabtree's shove tell you anything about him for that matter (we pretty much all hate to lose). Yet people pretend to know so much about Sherman from this that they spew far worse vitriol than he ever did, throw out racial epithets and claim he might need to seek psychiatric help.

That's a mighty big mirror being help up by the public at large.

[Chaka]

We already knew that Sherman sarcastically slapped Crabtree on the ### and told him good game. Are the Sherman defenders trying to say he was being genuine now??

So which is it? Was Sherman really trying to be a good sport or was his taunting justified because Crabtree tried to fight him at a charity event this summer? Or does it even matter because he went to Stanford?

You listened to the audio and drew the conclusion that he was being sarcastic?

Fishing, shtick or you are simply obtuse.

So you just ignored the entire context of his comments and thought he was being sincere?

Crabtree shoving him in the face after offering his hand and saying "Hell of a game" provide context for Sherman's comments to Erin Andrews not the other way around.

Then I stand by thinking that you are being obtuse (willfully or otherwise).

That was about as sincere of a gesture that one competitor can make to another one. I don't blame Crabtree for not being in a receptive mood*, his emotions were clearly on the opposite side of the spectrum, but there is no question that Sherman was making a sincere gesture.

*I do blame him for his response however. The appropriate thing for him to do would have been to accept the handshake, say "You too" and move on.

[ghostguy123]

So now people just assume he was just being a dik, not sincere at all, and trying to antagonize Crabtree. That is a VERY weird assumption to make if you actually watch what he did and said.

As I mentioned like 6 pages ago, even if he had gone up and blatantly talked smack to Crabtree right there (which I had thought he did prior to seeing this), I still felt Crabtree was more in the wrong for putting his hand on Sherman's face.

So now the talk is "was he being genuine"??? Well, really, does it even matter??????????/ He offered a handshake and said "hell of a game".

You ever see the coaches go and shake hands and say good game afterwards? I bet a pretty high percentage of the time none of that #### is genuine. Crabtree is kind of a baby though, so it is what it is.

Sherman was being a real ### after the game when he was asking how the injured 49er players were doing and then he had the nerve to ask one of the 49er players to tell Bowman he hopes he has a speedy recovery. What an ###!

People don't seem to understand Sherman has a switch and he's different on the field than he is off the field. The smack talk is part of his game. The Crabtree thing he took a little far because of their history off the field, but he later apologized. That should be end of story but I guess Sherman is the only person in the entire world to ever make a mistake.

So let me see...............what Sherman did isn't a natural and acceptable reaction, yet what crabtree did is?

I suppose every time someone is a dik to you (if you even assume that is what Sherman was doing), I guess the natural and acceptable reaction is to put your hand on their face and shove them away??

Weren't some of you talking about how if you did what Sherman did at your job you would get fired? Pretty sure Crabb's offense would get more people fired than someone offering up a sarcastic congratulations.

A shove like that is not illegal, nor assault in nearly any case.

Thanks for going completely overboard about it though.

 

[Hoodoo]

Eh, Crabtree was being a sore loser, but Sherman made it personal on national TV and then went on to proclaim himself king of the NFL. I still say Sherman was a MUCH bigger tool in this scenario.

Really? If Crabtree had acted like the mature, respectful sportsman that everyone wants to see (allegedly) then I think it is reasonable to suggest that Sherman's choke gesture and rant would have never occurred. Sherman tried to be the respectful sportsman everyone in here says he isn't, does he deserve no credit for that?

It's called taking the high ground. Sherman not only stooped to Crabtree's level, he went a couple of notches further and then showed absolutely no remorse until he saw what a doosh it made him look like.

Did he really take it a couple notches further than shoving a player in the face?

Do you honestly think Sherman goes on that rant if Crabtree demonstrates mature and respectful sportsmanship by returning Sherman's gesture?

Yes

No. Still doesn't excuse him.

So let's get this straight...

So Crabtree and Sherman have this ongoing feud dating back to the summer when Crabtree tried to fight Sherman because **** wanted to shake Michael's hand at a charity event. Fast forward to the NFC title game where they are trash talking the entire game and Sherman makes a play that likely ends the game. Sherman sprints across the endzone to catch up to Crabtree to slap him on the ### and congratulate him. Now we are to believe that **** was being sincere and not trying to rub salt in the wound? I wonder why the official flagged Sherman for taunting if he was just trying to tell an opponent "helluva game"?

Might have also had something to do with the choke gesture he was giving to Kaepernick. Yeah, Sherman is a classy guy. A lot to like about him.

Oh, I see! He was trying to congratulate Crabtree but taunt his QB. Sure that makes sense.

Choke gesture came after Crabtree pushed Sherman in the face.

Just sayin'.

Choke gesture came completely unprovoked from Kaepernick.

Just sayin'

It's called taking the high ground. Sherman not only stooped to Crabtree's level, he went a couple of notches further and then showed absolutely no remorse until he saw what a doosh it made him look like.

Did he really take it a couple notches further than shoving a player in the face?Do you honestly think Sherman goes on that rant if Crabtree demonstrates mature and respectful sportsmanship by returning Sherman's gesture?

YesNo. Still doesn't excuse him.

So let's get this straight...

So Crabtree and Sherman have this ongoing feud dating back to the summer when Crabtree tried to fight Sherman because **** wanted to shake Michael's hand at a charity event. Fast forward to the NFC title game where they are trash talking the entire game and Sherman makes a play that likely ends the game. Sherman sprints across the endzone to catch up to Crabtree to slap him on the ### and congratulate him. Now we are to believe that **** was being sincere and not trying to rub salt in the wound? I wonder why the official flagged Sherman for taunting if he was just trying to tell an opponent "helluva game"?

Might have also had something to do with the choke gesture he was giving to Kaepernick. Yeah, Sherman is a classy guy. A lot to like about him.

Oh, I see! He was trying to congratulate Crabtree but taunt his QB. Sure that makes sense.

Choke gesture came after Crabtree pushed Sherman in the face.Just sayin'.

Choke gesture came completely unprovoked from Kaepernick.Just sayin'

He could have been giving Kaepernick style tips. Did you see what he was wearing after the game? Maybe Sherman was giving him the international symbol for "go with the bow tie (fool)."That would have been helpful.

Why do you think it is that everyone wants to punch Sherman in the face? Anytime in my life that I knew of someone who got that reaction from people, it's been because the guy was a real asswhole. That's not a normal reaction that people should have. At what point will you finally get it?

Sherman was being a real ### after the game when he was asking how the injured 49er players were doing and then he had the nerve to ask one of the 49er players to tell Bowman he hopes he has a speedy recovery. What an ###!

People don't seem to understand Sherman has a switch and he's different on the field than he is off the field. The smack talk is part of his game. The Crabtree thing he took a little far because of their history off the field, but he later apologized. That should be end of story but I guess Sherman is the only person in the entire world to ever make a mistake.

Go check out what a rude asswhole he was on a TV interview with Stephen A Smith and Skip Bayless. He doesn't switch off the douchiness once he leaves the field.

That was maybe the greatest interview ever. Bayless is the supreme grand leader of doosh bags.

Any guy who goes on tv and trashes Stephen Smith and Skip Bayless is a national hero.

I tend to agree with what Rodney Harrison said about Sherman, stating that when you think you are at the top of your game, and you start to talk about it - "the game has a way of humbling you. It always comes back to get you", and he just smiled.

Me too. The sooner the better.

you just get the feeling that Manning and his group of talented WR's are going to make Sherman look

absolutely silly on SB Sunday...

watch how Manning gets him to bite on a pump fake and scores a TD pass..

Manning was 11-16/163 yards/1 TD in the preseason matchup of these two teams..now,granted, he played until the 6:02 mark of the 2nd Q, but those numbers are staggering..Sherman was playing..

Julius Thomas was a beast in the first half of that game..shades of things to come next week..
