the saints running game didn't have any impact on that game. the saints aren't a team that is going to relentlessly pound the rock, so they wisely laid back in coverage even if they ripped off yards here and there.
i have been talking up Wilson all year, even at the expense of Lynch. pretty much all my "seahawks talk" has focused squarely on Russell Wilson, including numerous debates in the weekly qb posts. i dont recall talking up their defense, their run game, their receiving core, their offensive line in general. Wilson is one of my favorite players in the league. if my team is out of contention, i will want him to have success
i still didn't see your "i was wrong and you were right" take on the matter tbh.

It's no secret they had the leagues top defense. For much of the season Wilson's impact outweighed lynch's. It has been the opposite the last few weeks. I think the lack of weapons plays a big part. Oh do you still think the Seahawks have the best offensive line in football?

that was at that specific moment not in general, in general i consider them 4th, and yeah i still think that. And i think it's been pretty established that seattle's success is only reliant on lynch and its D, that much has been clear the whole season and the number tell just that. I'm no RW hater, but to say he's above average it's just unacceptable.

from weeks 7-16, there were only 3 games where Lynch averaged over 4 yards a carry. it is during this time period where I argued Wilson was proving his worth. this is not an offense that is built to air it out 35+ times and lean on their qb to win. they don't have the weapons to do so, especially with Harvin and Rice being out. their pass protection hasn't been good all year, particularly early in the year when they were missing a few starters, but even since then, they give up tons of pressure. run blocking is a different story, though Lynch had no room to run in the first half, and got about 70% of his yards after contact for the game. still, I think we have seen Wilson make plays when needed. in the first half, they couldn't run the ball at all, and their receivers couldn't get open, and their only play was when wilson ran around to buy time and heaved a deep ball to baldwin. in the 2nd half, their offense was working much better, spearheaded by Lynch. but it was still Wilson with the game winning touchdown strike on 4th and 7.
their passing game has slowed, and i've been the first to call that out. i think the circumstances have a lot to do with it though.

what kind of game have you watched tbh, wilson did all he could to lose the game, even fumbling three times. the niners gameplanned on lynch and the dude was able to gain yardage even from contacts way before the line of scrimmage. On one play he fucking destroyed aldon smith.. Wilson did nothing except one pass and some cheap screens.

Sportsmanship (or sometimes sportspersonship) is an aspiration or ethos that a sport or activity will be enjoyed for its own sake, with proper consideration for fairness, ethics, respect, and a sense of fellowship with one's competitors. A sore loser refers to one who does not take defeat well, whereas a good sport means being a "good winner" as well as being a "good loser".[1][2]
Sportsmanship can be conceptualized as an enduring and relatively stable characteristic or disposition such that individuals differ in the way they are generally expected to behave in sport situations. In general, sportsmanship refers to virtues such as fairness, self-control, courage, and persistence,[3] and has been associated with interpersonal concepts of treating others and being treated fairly, maintaining self-control if dealing with others, and respect for both authority and opponents. Sportsmanship is also looked at as being the way one reacts to a sport/game.
A competitor who exhibits poor sportsmanship after losing a game or contest is often called a "sore loser" (those who show poor sportsmanship after winning are typically called "bad winners"). Sore loser behavior includes blaming others for the loss, not accepting responsibility for personal actions that contributed to the defeat, reacting to the loss in an immature or improper fashion, making excuses for the defeat, and citing unfavorable conditions or other petty issues as reasons for the defeat.[4][5] A bad winner acts in a shallow fashion after his or her victory, such as by gloating about his or her win, rubbing the win in the face(s) of the opponent(s), and lowering the opponent(s)'s self-esteem by constantly reminding the opponent(s) of "poor" performance in comparison (even if the opponent(s) competed well).

i didn't really see Lynch do anything in the first half. Wilson's first play of the game was awful, obviously, and i ridiculed him here on this forum after it happened. I'm a fan of the guy, but i don't call myself a blind fan. In the first half they coulnd't run or generate any passing game, and their only offense was the deep ball to Baldwin which was only made possible because of Wilson buying time with his feet. Similarly, the Niners didn't do much of anything outside the one big Kaepernick run. like i have said repeatedly, Lynch keyed their offense in the 2nd half. not sure why you keep bringing this up, considering i have said this time and time again. But i'm not going to be blind and say Wilson did nothing because he did make a bunch of 3rd and 4th down plays, including the big game winning touchdown on a perfect throw to Kearse

It's odd that Crabtree isn't being destroyed for mashing Sherman in the face. Only the reaction of Sherman is being over analyzed. Your reputation sure does mean a lot, and nobody likes a talker. Because most people are shut in, regular joes who don't like the flamboyant and that's understandable. But clearly, he starts the acknowledgement aspect of things instantaneously, and it wasn't received well. Crabby couldn't handle it, and we can't establish the intent of Sherman aside from the obvious game ending handshake that would've taken place in 30 seconds anyways. What we do see, is Crabby getting all crab like, and afterwards a clear change in behavior once Sherman is disrespected. And I can understand that as the whole world is watching, and this guy mushes your face after the play (and game for that matter) was clearly over with, and you extended your hand in acknowledgement.
Even if Sherman jumped the gun on the handshake, Crabby shouldn't have mushed his helmet/face like that. This is an abnormal crowd, that can cause an extreme spike in adrenaline. It wasn't as if he got into his face and really laid into him afterwards. Sherman was mic'ed up, so he said nothing of ill will. If you can't handle an L, that's on you. Crabby was a poor sport

Gotta disagree here, with all due respect. Sherman's attempt at a handshake immediately after the play was over seemed more like taunting than anything else. I know Sherman is a good guy once the emotion wears off. I've heard his mic'd ups with RG3 and other players but this seemed intentional. Why not wait until the game is over?

:rolleyes Because that was her response, especially her tone during the sideline interview when she said
OOOOkay, back to you guys.
ESPN no doubt wrote/coached/influenced her tweets.
From what i read, her reaction at the end of the interview is apparently because Fox was either pulling her away from Sherman or pulling Sherman away from her. Somebody made the decision to get him away from the microphone, it had nothing to do with Erin Andrews being scared of Richard Sherman.

I got the same impression as the interview was going. The Fox corporate suits said omg pull this interview.
She did look freaked tho. Not necc scared, but freaked. I loved how she said "who is saying this about you"?
Btw update, do we all see where Sherman is now apologizing?

great write up:
Richard Sherman's own words may have made him the center of attention but it is the language of his critics that is now under fire. The Seattle Seahawks' talented and talkative cornerback struck back at those who called him a "thug" for his demeanor during a loud and proud post-game interview after the NFC Championship Game on Sunday.
"The only reason it bothers me is because it seems like it's the accepted way of calling somebody the N-word nowadays," Sherman said during a press conference on Wednesday. "It's like everyone else said the N-word and they said 'Thug' and they're like, 'Ah, that's fine.' That's where it kind of takes me aback and it's kind of disappointing."
Sherman stepped into the national spotlight by following up a win-sealing defensive play with a boastful, postgame rant directed at San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree. The emotional, candid interview with Andrews -- one that took place just moments after the conclusion of a heated football game between division rivals -- sparked a Twitter firestorm. On Monday, the interview and the reaction it sparked remained a hot topic of conversation. As measured by iQ Media1, the word "thug" was uttered more times on U.S. television on Monday, 625, than it had been on any other day in three years, reported Deadspin. According to iQ Media1 findings, the Boston television market led the nation with 36 uses on Monday. As noted by Deadspin, many of those "thug" mentions occurred while Sherman was discussed during the television broadcast of WEEI's "Dennis & Callahan" radio program.
"What's the definition of a thug really?" Sherman asked reporters on Wednesday before comparing his antics to those of players involved in the recent NHL line brawl between the Vancouver Canucks and Calgary Flames. "Maybe I'm talking loudly and doing something I'm not supposed to. But I'm not ... there was a hockey game where they didn't even play hockey. They just threw the puck aside and started fighting. I saw that and said, 'Oh, man. I'm the thug? What's going on here?'"
A 25-year-old graduate of Stanford, Sherman is in his third season in the NFL and has already been twice named a first-team All Pro. Despite his education and his professional accomplishments, Sherman told reporters on Wednesday that he has had to continually deal with preconceived notions about him since he grew up in hardscrabble Compton, Calif.
"I know some 'thugs,' and they know I'm the furthest thing from a thug," Sherman said. "I've fought that my whole life, just coming from where I'm coming from. Just because you hear Compton, you hear Watts, you hear cities like that, you just think 'thug, he's a gangster, he's this, that, and the other,' and then you hear Stanford, and they're like, 'oh man, that doesn't even make sense, that's an oxymoron.' You fight it for so long, and to have it come back up and people start to use it again, it's really frustrating."

Yeah right.
What did Sherman get his degree in?
Better yet how did he get it?
"So what are the classes they are going to take to get a degree here? You cannot come here with a third-, fourth- or fifth-grade education and get a degree here," she told CNN.
The issue was highlighted at UNC two years ago with the exposure of a scandal where students, many of them athletes, were given grades for classes they didn't attend, and where they did nothing more than turn in a single paper. Last month, a North Carolina grand jury indicted a professor at the center of the scandal on fraud charges. He's accused of being paid $12,000 for a class he didn't teach.

I'm not on the "Sherman is a thug bandwagon", I just think he's of the typical average American intelligence but with great work ethic. That's all a GPA really shows (especially in a non-technical degree) is work ethic and hire-ability. I commend Sherman for not being a dumbasss like a lot of professional athletes and I definitely think he'll have a decent career after football but I'm tired of these "hurp de durp, look at me I have muh high GPA i'm so smartzzzz!"
That's the SMART thing to do. Take easy ass classes and concentrate on football. Hell, Peyton Manning has a degree in Communications too but he doesn't seem to get any flak for it. Probably because he's white right? Hypocritical bias pussy ass bitches you guys are.

Skip never intended to have a serious discussion with Sherman in that interview. He just wanted a reaction. So Sherman turned it around on him and came on with the sole intention of clowning on him. Shit was pretty hilarious. "Im better than you at life", I mean that's just taking a Texas sized shit on the man.

“He went to Stanford.”
This phrase has been used in the past few days to describe Richard Sherman, cornerback for the Seattle Seahawks. After making a play that ensured his team would go to the Super Bowl, he gave the choke sign and then exuberantly (and aggressively) conducted postgame interviews berating San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree. Like many things that involve the equation of black + loud + famous + not smiling (see: Kanye West), the initial response had a negative, disrespectful, and racist element. The word “thug” was used liberally, but it also went much deeper than that, into the realm of “monkey” and “******” (see more in Greg Howard’s Deadspin piece on Sherman).
It wasn’t just the Internet trolls with fewer followers than fingers that were lambasting Sherman with racially charged critiques. And, as we sometimes too quickly assume, it wasn’t just one race against another.

Golden State Warriors swingman Andre Iguodala never explicitly said he was talking about Richard Sherman, but based on the time stamps and the reality of not being born yesterday, it’s fair to assume these Iguodala subtweets are about Richard Sherman. To a degree, they echo Chris Rock’s “Black People vs. Niggas” bit and Chappelle’s Clayton Bigsby skit. But Iguodala is no cultural critic nor master satirist. He’s a peer. A fellow athlete — a fellow black male athlete — and because of that, his tweets seemed less like a joke and more like an honest opinion. They suggest Richard Sherman is a disruption to progress. His progress. It highlights a notion — an old, classist racial tactic — of “them vs. us.” The idea of separating the thugs (the Shermans) from the rest.
This separation tactic is easily accomplished within white America: one quick use of the phrase “white trash” and a distinction is clear, consequence-free. And because of it, a group like the Duck Dynasty boys have been made to seem like members of a different race, a different species. Because in this equation, they aren’t white. They’re white trash.
The idea of a famous white person embarrassing or tarnishing the reputation of the entire race is a bewildering concept to even consider. But it’s commonplace when an individual from any minority group does something that could be considered “uncouth.” And when that happens, some embrace the individual and others do anything in their power to dissociate. Or to label that person an anomaly.
♦♦♦
But not everyone was embarrassed, or ashamed, or disgusted by Sherman’s actions. Many applauded him, and even more came to his defense, rallying against the critiques of his character. And one of those disarming tactics, as noted above, became stating that Sherman is a graduate of Stanford University.
His status as a Cardinal has been juxtaposed with repugnant comments about his character. In this narrative, he can’t be a “thug” because he went to Stanford. But his Stanford-ness isn’t what magically makes him not a thug.
That’s a dangerous game, one that I used to play in the hopes of gaining respect while proving people wrong, about myself and about us. I’d find myself on a plane, sitting next to someone who didn’t seem too pleased with my overall presentation: black beanie, baggy sweats, and a gaudy hoodie that the 17th member of A$AP Mob might wear to retrieve a bodega meat patty. And then, halfway through the flight, I’d pull out my laptop adorned with a Dartmouth College sticker. And in a matter of moments, I’d watch as the skeptical party suddenly wanted to talk. Suddenly, I was no longer an undesirable. Or a thug. Simply because of that green-and-white sticker.
I used to do this for a number of reasons. It proved that “post-racial” was … hahaha. It made me feel good to get some respect. And somewhere in there it felt important that this old white man know that a kid that looked like me and dressed like me could go to a school like that. And because of this, I kept doing it. I knew I had this trump card — this academic, classist disarmer — that would make even the most uncomfortable person breathe a sigh of relief.
But after a few years, I stopped doing that and vowed never to do it again. Because I was seeking respect I didn’t deserve. Feeling the need to be treated differently simply because I had a really strong junior year of high school was bullshit. Because I was trying to separate myself from others that looked like me. And after going through this, the unsurprising result was to behave in the exact opposite way.
It makes you want to give people all the wrong impressions. It makes you want to trade out that suit for a Huey Newton T-shirt. It makes you want to grow your hair long and keep strangers on edge. It makes you want to be loud, brash, in-your-face, and unapologetic. You know, like Stanford’s Richard Sherman.
In some ways, where you went to college has no bearing on future success. In other ways, it can haunt or help you for the rest of your life. Sometimes both. Sherman could have turned into a very similar Sherman and made a very similar Sherman game-saving play and followed it up with a braggadocio-filled Sherman postgame interview, and not have gone to Stanford University.
And then what? Had he gone to the University of Miami, would he be just another link in the chain of thug athletes from the U? Probably. What if he went to a Historically Black College, like Morehouse or Howard? Or what about a junior college? Or what about Harvard?
All of these things would unfairly impact the thug narrative of Richard Sherman. And that’s unfortunate, because the “He went to Stanford” card was long used as a way to get people off his back. And while the intentions were good, and helped shift some of the conversation about him back in his favor, it shouldn’t be a primary argument when given the all-too-common task of proving someone isn’t a thug. If anything, it’s harmful logic. Because the next Richard Sherman may not have attended Stanford. So what then?

Lol people being so butthurt at Sherman that they actually defend the worthless piece of shit Skip Bayless. Bayless is an even bigger loudmouth faggot than Sherm.....except he's never done anything noteworthy that should garner any type of respect. Skip never intended to have a serious discussion with Sherman in that interview. He just wanted a reaction. So Sherman turned it around on him and came on with the sole intention of clowning on him. Shit was pretty hilarious. "Im better than you at life", I mean that's just taking a Texas sized shit on the man.
Saying "I'm better than you at life" means nothing and sounds immature coming from a grown man. Especially when Skip has been relatively successful in his own career despite being one of the lowest scums of society.

An educated Southern gentleman like myself would be remiss not to comment on this lippy ######. I've heard rumors this Richard Sherman is a special ######, as smart as Bright Boy, though his uncouth tongue would suggest otherwise. He talks and behaves in the manner of my uneducated Mandingo fighters. Normally i would simply release my hounds and send him to ###### heaven, but if he is truly a bright boy worthy of special consideration, might I suggest two weeks in the hotbox, to teach him not to speak as a savage in front of a charming belle like Madame Andrews.
This is an interesting post, imagine if Sherman had pulled this in 1961. His house would have been burned down, his family killed, he would have been killed/hung and not for anything he said but because he hugged a white woman in front of a national audience. Then again Compton isn't Alabama.

I don't mind what Sherman did at all...I do however mind that sports talk has been only talking about that one thing for almost an entire week now when they should be talking about the Super Bowl....it's annoying as fuck.
