Your attention-grabbing behavior is shameful. My non-Seahawk-fan-coworkers are using this opportunity to mercilessly mock me, and my sense of self-worth is rapidly declining. Please begin acting like a 40-year old stuffed shirt, and if you cannot then please stay in your room until the season starts. If you want to grow up I can see if I can get you into one of my company's business etiquette classes. If you are interested please send me a written request at 123 Primrose Drive, Seattle, WA 98888.
Thank you,
A humiliated fan

Easley ruled that Seattle's Golden Tate snagged a touchdown even though it sure appeared that Green Bay's M.D. Jennings intercepted the pass. (The NFL even admitted the refs' error,

He was cheap-shotted in the face. That ought to keep his knees safe for a while.Stoned Cold":12a9zhoy said:I won't be shocked when he gets cheap shotted in the knees for it some day... I just hope karma isn't a bitch for Sherman.

What do Deion, GP, Kevin Garnett, Dennis Rodman and, heck, Muhammad Ali all have in common?
Rings. Championships. Great careers. How'd that target on their back work out for them?

Great players on great teams. Ali being the exception, none did it on their own, even Ali needed Dundee to save him in the Liston fight when he was blinded. In fact none of them won without a good team. I don't know what the point is here. I never tried to say you can't have a great career and talk too. If you don't get the target on your back you probably never played.

Can't have possession in the air, which was clearly what had happened when GB's player attempted the interception. Tate got both hands on it and pulled it to his chest while GB's man was still trying to get his other foot down. Any other ref would have botched the call and it would've been game over.
Best ref ever.
I swear on my grandma's grave that even if that precise call had gone to another team in the NFL that day I would still feel that very same way you do. Whatever you do, you don't want to confuse the rest of the world with the facts. They've already made up their mind considering it the worst call ever. :roll: :roll: :roll:

Different strokes for different folks. Some people just like the Barry Sanders, Marcus Allen, Bo Jackson, Curtis Martin, Marshall Faulk, Jerry Rice, etc. types who act like they've been there before. Some like the Muhammad Ali, Deion Sanders, Ocho Cinco, T.O. types that talk for attention. People that talk become a target and sometimes say stupid stuff. I like Richard Sherman the player, I like him for what he does for kids and aspiring young adults, and I'm learning to look the other way when he says stupid stuff.
I'm far from old lol.

Back to the beginning of this thread though I love that he's helping this guy out. And I love that he is helping other people too.

Bravo! Bravo! Good stuff, I was just rambling away there but really couldn't see that being a serious response. I was covering my bases if it was though!![]()
Actually Smokin is 100% right about the call. He got the possession correct, the part he and the other official missed was the blatant push off by Tate, which was offensive PI but it is rarely called, and it went our way so what evs!SmokinHawk":gnchwfb3 said:JonRud":gnchwfb3 said:I miss that ref, he was great!
