Not a big Skip fan but Sherman is an idiot here.

Bayless is exactly that, and Sherman made himself sound like one as well.

At least Sherman is young and has the opportunity to mature. Bayless shot that wad years ago.

The thing with Sherman, is that he KNOWS what he's doing. He does it, just like he does on the field, to get under the other guys skin when he feels he's been disrespected.

Sherman is actually a pretty calm, laid back guy but on twitter and in the mass media world the character he's created for himself allows everyone to be distracted by that, while he silently becomes the #2, if not #1 corner in the league.

I like it. It's not like Skip Bayless where he's just a miserable SoB who treats everybody who doesn't share his opinion with disdain, and refuses to talk about certain sports because he can't be bothered to do research on them. ESPN made him this big huge deal when all the Tebow stuff was going on, now that it's dying out, I hope his popularity starts to die out with it.

Re: Richard Sherman VS Skip Bayless

IMO they are both D-bags. There are better ways to get under someones skin and better times. Sorry but that interview made Sherman look like an ass. He didn't embarrass Skip one bit. It made Sherman look like an idiot. All Sherman did is run his mouth, he didn't prove a thing. This i far from silently becoming the number 1 corner. The biggest thing I hate about Skip is what you said, he is limited on his sports knowledge. He calls players out, and in this case Sherman bit, and made himself a bigger idiot then Skip.

Re: Richard Sherman VS Skip Bayless

I'v seen enough of Sherman to know that this is just an act he puts on. But I can definitely see why you'd think he's an ass. He comes off as one at times. I just happen to think it's funny.

Oh and Revis started the whole tit-for-tat thing between he and Sherman, the media just likes to forget that part.

Sherman didn't do himself any favors. I bet the Stanford community would like him to shut his mouth.
I will say he is the only guy to leave Stephen A. speechless for 3 min.

I didn't think it was possible to feel bad for Skip Bayless. Sherman came off terrible there. What a pompous *****.

Re: Richard Sherman VS Skip Bayless

Say what you will about the idiot Bayless, he handled this situation with true professionalism and made Sherman look bad by doing it.

I think he did...gotta be a well-known name when it's time to cash in, and almost any kind of exposure won't hurt. Smart move.

Nobody even knew who the hell Jim Rome was until Jim Everette knocked him on his ass for continually calling him 'Chris' in an interview.

Re: Richard Sherman VS Skip Bayless

Sherman has a degree in communications, graduated Stanford with 3.9 GPA, and is going back for his Masters during the off-season.

He knows what he's doing. It's savvy marketing, it's putting the bullseye on him and drawing media attention to him, just like he wants.

Judging by the overwhelmingly negative response to him in this video, I hope he didn't do this to "market" himself.

Re: Richard Sherman VS Skip Bayless

There is no such thing as bad press.

Positive, Negative, all that matters now is the ESPN will have their eyes on him next season and will play "I'm better at life than you" non-stop. He's drawing attention to himself.

If he backs it up with his play, that's another story.

Of course there is bad press for professional athletes. They can lose millions in endorsement deals and salary for saying and/or doing the wrong things. It happens all the time. This helps Sherman in no way and helps Bayless/ESPN in many ways.
