Following the NFC Championship Game, Seattle Seahawks corner Richard Sherman dropped one of the best postgame interviews ever…disgracing San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree.
Naturally, not everyone was amused.
Within seconds, social media was going crazy with people on both sides of the "awesome" or "not awesome" debate weighing in. One the many with a thought…Detroit Tigers ace Justin Verlander.
So Russell is a class act! Sherman on the other hand…. If he played baseball would get a high and tight fastball.

Wow. Okay. Let's take a deep breath here.
Just minutes before having a microphone shoved in his face, Sherman made, perhaps, the biggest play in recent Seahawks history. This was a play that is sending the team to the SuperBowl for just the second time in franchise history.
And, just days before Sunday's match up, Michael Crabtree called out the cornerback. Feel free to jump ahead to the 2:50 mark…I'll wait here.
What do you think was going to happen?
Threatening him with a fastball "high and tight" if he played baseball? Seems like a little much, Justin.
