Looks like we have few people, that sit in there chair tipping beers who thinks that anyone, (Sherman), who worked half there life to be one of the best, and gets asked a question 2 min after one the best plays of his carrier, when he is on an emotional high, is going to give a good answer. Show's you don't understand what your talking about. My .02

Now this would make sense if it was the first time he's done something like this but he's done this crap before.

for example

Sherm said "Hell of a game" and held his hand out. Who's the real thug? Crabtree....

Was that before or after he smacked Crabtree on the ass and then called him out on national tv? Why would you expect Crabtree to shake his hand after that?

It's really very simple. Don't act like a thug and people won't call you a thug...

Actually, it was before any interviews. This happened right after the interception before ANY interviews.

Now, some could call going over before the game was actually over to shake his hand and say "Hell of a game" provocative...however there's been a history between Crabtree & Sherman.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...ent-last-year/

Regardless, people jumped on Sherman early because he was interviewed right after the play of his career putting him in the Super Bowl when he was hyped up on adrenaline. Add to that, that he had just been shoved by Crabtree after going to shake his hand...well, he reacted the way he did.

I've heard the entire story 20 times. It's the only thing they have on ESPN all week. I'm not sticking up for Crabtree, but don't think not shaking a hand is a good enough reason to act as Sherman did. Running around doing choke sign and then running your mouth in 2 consecutive interviews on national tv = CLASSLESS.

He literally smacked him on the ass 2 seconds before trying to shake his hand lol.

Regardless, that also takes away from other compelling things about the Seahawks...

Love Russell Wilson in this one getting advice from Bradshaw...

I don't give a shit either way. To me they are both equal in this whole thing.

It's not any different to give Sherman a pass for his antics in the on field interview with the reasoning being 'Cut him some slack, he just won a really big game and was pumped up' as it is for Crabtree to say 'Cut him some slack, he just lost a really big game'.

Of course losing a game, even a big game, is not any excuse but true sportsmanship isn't shown when you win. It's shown when you lose. It's easy to be a good sport when you win. I absolutely saw Sherman as being a smart ass prick immediately when he went up to Crabtree on the field. Saw later that he may have been sincere. I can EASILY see how Crabtree could have misunderstood his intentions. It was out of character for Sherman to not be a smartass in that situation considering their history.

So, as an outsider who doesn't give a shit either way, I'd say this has been blown WAY out of proportion. The media LOVES this shit. And so do the fans.

Fanatics + percieved bad guy + bullshit victim + media = absolute stupidity

We've seen that right here with 1st State Chevrolet

Both Crabtree and Sherman were classless during this game. Now with that said; GO SEAHAWKS! YOUR THE ONE.
