Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman said New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady called them “nobodies” before their famous confrontation.
Long before the Seattle Seahawks won their first franchise Super Bowl and cornerback Richard Sherman ever went off about Michael Crabtree to an unsuspecting Erin Andrews, there was a dust up between him and New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
You remember the one, Brady trying to leave the field but Sherman getting in his face to give him his two cents.
Now that the two are set to clash again in the Super Bowl, Sherman is being asked about that situation once again.
“He was just pretty much saying we were nobodies and that we should come up to him after they got the win,” Sherman said, via NFL.com. “So we should take that pretty well? We should just, ah, ‘Cool. Can I get your autograph, too?'”
It goes against how the American public perceives Tom Brady, as a competitive, stay out of trouble, All-American quarterback. Sherman went on to say that is all a facade.
“Like I said before, I think people sometimes get a skewed view of Tom Brady,” Sherman said. “That he’s just a clean-cut, does everything right, and never says a bad word to anyone. And we know him to be otherwise. So, in that moment of him being himself, he said some things and we returned the favor. And unfortunately he apparently didn’t remember what he said, etc., etc., but I’m sure in those moments of him yelling at the ref he’s just saying, ‘Good job, you’re doing a fantastic job, keep it up.'”
It will be interesting to see who is chasing who down after the Super Bowl. I doubt we can expect any kind of response or retort from Brady who will probably choose his words wisely and avoid it.
