So he comes off as a good sport to you? You can like it if that's your thing, but trash-talking after the whistle blows goes against most people's sense of sportsmanship. I really don't dislike the guy, and he's a stud for sure, but he is just the next in a long line of look-at-me CBs and WRs. I prefer the cut of Peyton's jib myself.

Apparently Crabtree was talking [Mark May] before the game. He only looks like an ass to people that didn't like what he said. I'm not one of those people, so I choose to reject your label.

I wasn't so concerned with what he said- more so the way in which he said it. Screaming incoherently during a post game interview (or pretty much anytime) makes you look stupid regardless of the circumstances.

I just don't think that article was "written trash talk". It was a clear explanation of what happened and why. Crabtree talked shit, Sherm tried to shake his hand and Crabtree mushed him. I'd have went the fuck off too.

I remember when Peyton went all asshole on his own teammate. It's not happening here, but I'm a little on edge with all the modern day racist bullshit out there. Thug is the new n-word for pussies too chicken shit to own their bigotry.

Yeah he really should have been more relaxed after making the play that sent his team to The Super Bowl. Not to mention trying to shake hands with your defeated opponent and getting a facefull of fuckoff.

If you've read anything about my dude The Shermanator, you'd already know he's not plenty of people.

I love sports. The biggest negative imo of sports becoming billion dollar industries is the death of the personalities. I'm a fan of unique. Fuck a cliche.

Fair enough. I don't know anything about him and was embarrassed by how stupid he looked screaming at Erin Andrews after the game.

For the record, I always thought Chad Ochocinco's shenanigans were cheeky and fun.

I can't really think of anyone else that amused me off the top of my head, but I don't think my aversion to what Sherman did was because it was unique rather than cliche.

Just because he wrote it don't make it so. Sherman smacked Crabtree on the ass and said a little more than "good game" before going for the mock handshake... He also explained "why" he made the choke-sign at Kaep, and that was pretty ridiculous too.

I like unique too, and I think Carroll's 'Hawks are one of the funnest teams in the League now. I just also believe in sportsmanship and class when the game is over.

I'll ignore the race stuff since it's way off topic. (And it was Peyton's teammate who went a-hole that time you're probably talking about, re: idiot kicker)

Unique is Tony Gonzales with his ' I'm tony Gonzales?' Intro.

Being a unique personality doesn't mean you have to be a douche.

It's not just Sherman or NFL football. This sort of "look at me behavior," this playing for the camera is present in MLB, NBA and NFL. Part of it belongs to that topic we can't talk about in this country - I think our concept of Jack-Armstrong-All-American-Boy-sportsmanship and it's associated behaviors is a white value, one that isn't shared within the black community. I think our perception of showboating, trash talking, monster stomping, throat-cutting gestures has much to do with where we grew up. It's not cheating, it's not illegal or immoral. and in one sense I can see where it's more honest than acting like a gracious winner, but it goes against some innate belief I have that such behavior isn't 'fair.'

A second part of it has to do with the intimacy with which sports are covered these days. The newspapers and TV of the 1950s only focused on Jackie Thompson's homerun to beat the Dodgers and put the Giants in the World Series. No one but the players knew that afterwords the Giant's players pounded on the doors of the Dodger dressing room and screamed insults and called them 'chokers.' Now that kind of story is front page.

I don't like the WWE type of behavior. I see it as juvenile and demeaning. I'd love to see any of the major sports end the season in a more dignified manner, but I can see where my attitude was formed by the time and place I grew up in and by the color of my skin.
