I saw it on the Mic'd Up and Inside the NFL versions, but I think it has less to do with what many have been implying here and more that it looks more dramatic with two receivers flying off the line together in a desperate hail-mary play. The press coverage look doesn't make it look like as much of a race.
I think this post has less to do with "keeping it real" and more to do with needing some attention.
I think almost everyone knows why the video was edited in the manner it was.
Fact is, we ain't as stewpud as the NFL thinks we be.
I see a few possibilities about the end product in that video, but I'm not in the position of caring about how it makes the team "look" so I don't assume the worst. I don't think it's a high probability that there is some concerted effort by the NFL's organizations to edit videos to make the play look a certain way to swing opinion about the play, but it's possible.
What's with the first sentence in your post? Are you saying I'm posting this just to rile people up? If so, I disagree with that.
Your completely entitled to your opinions, and welcome to post them.
I'm bustin' your chops a bit :{)
If you don't think that video was edited to fit a specific agenda that's your prerogative but I'd bet you are in a very small minority here.
I'd also bet that most football fans, if willing to look at the whole situation without bias, would probably come to the same conclusion. Somebody when out of their way to edit that video, it was done for a reason.
The NFL sells a product, they will go to extreme lengths to promote and protect that product as they see fit.
Sherman mentioned it in the press conference, NFL wants to promote offense/scoring.
I'm not saying this was done against the Seahawks, I'm saying it was done to fit the agenda they are following.
What if?
What if, they had showed Sherm getting blasted?
What if, they had slowed down the video at the beginning of that play, and highlighted the shot to his head?
What do you think the national narrative would be about the last play of that game?
Again, I'd bet that the national talk would be much more like it is here, than what's it's been. Herm E. Is the only one that I've heard that comes close to "getting it".
Edit:
As the NFL let it play out, this was the biggest story going on Monday morning.
Bigger than Ben R. needing knee surgery.
You seriously don't think that video was edited with purpose?
"COME ON MAN"
2nd Edit:
Wonder why the narrative is, Sherm got away with cheating?
Why isn't the focus on officiating?
The refs blew 2 calls on that 1 play.
