Sound Off: Player Personalities and the Teams You Root For

[blackceasar]

One more thing... he's no dummy, outburst aside the first thing that came out of his mouth was "I'm the best corner in the NFL!" While that's arguable, he's a free agent in 2015 and it's a good way to start campaigning for that big contract extension.

[rudeworld]

My main problem is that, this is NOT HIS FIRST TIME DOING THIS!!! It's an act. This guy can scream and shout at Skip Bayless that he is the best corner in the NFL but he is just a product of a terrific defensive scheme. I think you could of put anyone with average coverage ability in this system and they would look like this guy.... 3/4 in the secondary are going to the PRO BOWL. The other corner is YES.... The best corner in the NFL: REVIS ISLAND

I root for players like JJ Watt and Andre Johnson.

Is Revis really the best corner? I think you could make the case for a 3-4 man race for that title. If I could hand pick players that I'm going to be stuck with for the next 4-5 years on my defensive roster then skill is not the only thing I can factor in when determining who the best at a position is going to be. On that note, Revis has not been healthy enough to outright on the best CB title anymore. Doesnt mean I think Sherman is.. but Sherman is going to get pizzaid regardless when it's extension time.

You couldn't be more wrong. The players make Pete Carroll's scheme, the scheme doesn't make the players.

What if it's a bit of both?

I love honest players/coaches who believe what they say and not just say it because it sounds good and I hate bull**** PC responses that the sensitive folk always want to hear.

Re: Sound Off: Player Personalities and the Teams You Root For

Its amazes me how ESPN and other media outlets have massively sensationalized this far beyond what its actually worth.

A player hypes himself up and trash talks a player on his rival team. This is apparently worthy of plastering on every cable news network, sports or otherwise, and deserving of its developments being the primary discussion topic on most ESPN shows for what will likely be the next week. Lol.

I love the ones that can do it without looking like a tool in the process.

It's not just the media though. As soon as he did the interview that's all anybody was talking about. People I was watching the game with, the OS thread, facebook, twitter, etc. all starting talking about Sherman vs. talking about the game. Don't think it's the media's fault for blowing it up.

[blackceasar]

Again, it's Shermans fault for the blow-up/criticism... it's NOT Sherman's fault as to WHY it's such a big deal. Read between the lines there if you like.

Or don't.

It's irrelevant and it's against the TOS. Please don't bring it up again.

[grodbetatted]

I actually liked his outburst to me it showed his passion for the game of football... That not many players have today

Re: Sound Off: Player Personalities and the Teams You Root For

I guess I'm a boring, button-down, blue-collar sort of fan since my two favorite professional teams have that rep.

Stay humble and let your actions speak. Michael Jordan doesn't have to tell you he's the greatest, you already know.

MJ was one of the biggest trash talkers around on the court. He just didn't say anything like that in post-game interviews.

[AntiBandwagoner]

I think talk like that is overblowing it, but if you can back it up with your play (and Sherman can) then it shouldn't be a problem.
