OT: Sherman can't let go of Super Bowl Loss - JJJ - 05-28-2017
Sherman and Anna's older brother don't get along. I figure I can post this here. :P
Quote:Richard Sherman wanted to send a message to Russell Wilson. It was June 2014, and it'd been a testy day at Seahawks minicamp, with defensive players hitting the offense in a non-contact practice. On one play, Sherman had ripped off the helmet and jersey of receiver Phil Bates, igniting a brawl, the cornerback's dreadlocks flopping in the air. Both sides cleared. Pharrell Williams' "Happy" blasted from the loudspeakers. But the defense, a ruthless and crazy and awesome bunch that less than five months earlier had delivered the franchise its first Super Bowl victory, was just getting started.
Sherman is famous for loving practice, for treating it like a game, for rarely missing it even when injured. For him, it's where a mystical bond is forged and a win on Sunday becomes an almost accidental byproduct. And so, a few plays later, when Sherman picked off Wilson, it wasn't enough just to make a great play. He wanted to get inside Wilson's head, to remind the young Pro Bowler that despite his Super Bowl fame -- and endorsements that many on the defense felt they deserved -- Sherman still owned his ass.

Sherman is obviously a mercurial personality. I'm sure many of us on the board remember him screaming at teammates and coaches on the sidelines when he was at Stanford. But when he's not screaming he's thoughtful and generous, today ESPN ran an article about how he met a high school girl at a charity event and promised her that if she made the honor roll he would personally fund a college scholarship for her, and now he's following through:
