GOOO SEAHAWKS!!!

[Ripsnort]

It's gonna be a great game.  I was hoping for this matchup all season long.  I'm a die-hard Bronco fan, and remember the good ol days of Seattle being a Divisional foe.  Lots of great games between these two teams...  Also, it's not often that we get to see the two best teams end up in the SB, so it'll be a treat for sure.  

Go Broncos!

Remember these in Seattle?


GAWD we hated Elway in the day!

eveyone is talking about the seahawks defense well broncos defense is not to bad either and are great againt the run seahawks depend on the run so much denver is more then capable of shutting down the seahawks offense... who is sherman gonna cover? if he covers Thomas then denver still has decker welker and Thomas,and they can run the ball pretty well too manning is very good at reading coverage.this could be a very long game for the seahawks defense they could get exposed. not saying they will it could go either way but both teams have good defense and denver has the better offense

Hate Sherman. It fuels him. But watch this video please.
This sums up why he's Seattle's most prolific and colorful player!

Great video

Great video

Check out 2:30 on the film. Revis tells him "I got 8 picks in my 2nd season, now you have a goal to reach in your life"

Sherman had 8 picks this year.

He sure looked like a tough guy ripping a tiny piece off the corner.

I find it amusing that people dont think trash talking doesnt occur in football at any level.  Im not even a Seahawks fan but I played in high school and college.  Trash talking is part of the game both before the game, after the game, and during the game.  It antagonizes people to make mistakes because they may think too hard that they have to do a certain thing or draw penalties and what not.  They dont have mics on the offensive and defensive line so you dont hear them talking but I guarantee you they are trash talking each other ie defensive end going to the left tackle "I am going make you look stupid after this play."  You dont think high school students are trash talking to each other before games leading up to it because most likely the high school games are next town rivals and most likely know each other?  You dont think college teams are trash talking each other on Twitter or other media outlets before a big game?  Going try and tell me Auburn and Alabama, Michigan and Ohio State, Florida and Florida State, etc. are not trash talking each other leading up to their games? 

Its part of the game and it shows that you actually care about the game.  People complaining that Sherman was out of line is a joke.  Did anyone see Crabtree's interview in the locker room?  Saying he plays on the field and isnt a TV person.  Sherman shut him down flat out and Crabtree knows it.  Kaepernick only threw to Sherman twice the entire game and one turned into an interception.  They also put a mic in front of him after the game when he just made a hell of a play at the end of the game to seal the win.  Sherman is a smart guy.  Graduated 2nd in his class in high school, graduated from Stanford in communications, and is in a master's degree program at Stanford.  This is also a rivalry game, of course they dont like each other.  Cowboys and Giants going to be nice individuals to each other? Come on, Sherman was all in the right in this.  He had every right to do what he did.  Deion Sanders was no different when he played.

The Sherman vs Crabtree thing started last year when Kaep started mouthing off to Sherman. Was just payback.

This was mentioned before but it's still no excuse for what he did. Still, he's a great guy regardless of what people think about him.  He's off to the best start of a 3 year corner in the history of the NFL. Stats don't lie.

Sherman apologized.  I imagine he was caught up in the moment. 

Trash talking is one thing, but blatant gloating after the win is over the top, especially when impressionable fans (ie kids) can see what is happening.  Sets a bad example.

I like what Paul Brown said years ago.  "Act like you've been there before."

Todays athlete is the "Look at me"  type.

More in tune with look what I did!  Not what my team does.

Athletes today are mostly self centered and have the what's in it for me attitude.

Over half of them can't form a complete sentence.  Why should they, they are millionaires.

And sports fans are enablers. We spend $55 PLUS for tickets (cheap seats) or in the case of my seats, $150 a piece.
