Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman stole the show with his big play and then with his mouth. After defending a pass intended for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree, he confronted him which resulted in a shove.
Then Sherman went on a rant in a post-game interview. After Crabtree tweeted calling Sherman fake, he responded.
A lion doesn't concern himself with the opinions of a sheep.

He then retweeted this:

And went on a rant about the Twitter backlash, right or wrong, he probably received:
