Actually I'm pretty sure the entire point of that was to try to get more paychecks for something other than football. Probably just pure coincidence that they had this commercial ready to go already.

then its brilliant
btw when did they start saying "fkn" in commercials???
He's an MBA student at Stanford. He understands marketing and branding. In the NFL, especially on defense, it's hard to establish a personal brand hiding behind those face masks. He did something to stand out. Now he's probably the most recognizable defensive player in the league.

You know what? Richard Sherman is awesome. Great player, fiery competitor, and an actual human with a personality.
Here is the post game interview of 99% of athletes:
"Great game out there today. I believed in my teammates, we believed in ourselves, thanks Jesus."
Nothing but boring stock expressions and cliches. Sherman showed human emotion and that he actually cares about this game and its outcome, and that this isn't just a paycheck for him. I think that was awesome.
No offense, but this is bunk. Most players have passion, and care about the game. Just because they don't wait for a camera to tell everyone how great they are doesn't mean that they don't love the game. How on earth does saying "you better shut your mouth before I shut it for you" or "I'm the best" express how much you care about the outcome of the game?
As I said in the other thread, you can see Sherman's act virtually every night of the week on cable. Just tune in to WWE if that's what floats your boat.
No offense, but if you prefer your athletes to be bland automatons who regurgitate stock expressions and cliches, you're probably rooting for guys who care more about their own marketability than the outcome of the game. Or maybe they're just boring people. As a boring person myself, I understand why giving a tired and boring interview would be the desired option. But I like to watch sports for entertainment, rather than to hear something resembling a conversation between my mother and I.
