How is that trying be funny? Please explain the comedy in that.
Unless you mean that he was trying to be funny with his "I just wasn't sure if you knew it existed" comment, which might have been funny if it wasn't him just trying to cover his ass because he didn't think I'd call him out on his garbage.
He failed ONE drug test, that was handled improperly and overturned, but also could have been because he drank from a teammate's water bottle that had a dissolved pill in it. He wouldn't need to take the drug and, even if he did, he wouldn't risk his reputation or his good character on it.
It's clear that Pat was butt-hurt because Sherman was smart and good at football because why else would he call a guy a d-bag and attempt to discredit his skills because he failed one test that wasn't even his fault? Any teacher that wasn't butt-hurt would be going back to his students and telling them to model themselves after Sherman because (1) grew up in a very bad neighborhood (Compton) and stayed out of trouble, (2) succeeded in school (took advanced classes that left him with better than straight A grades) AND football and ended up at Stanford. How many other people from that neighborhood do you think have ended up at Stanford? (3) Had a very high GPA in college while succeeding in football, (4) drafted into the NFL and STILL went back to finish his degree, (5) mentors kids in bad situations, speaks to groups, and even has a charity that gets inner-city kids updated textbooks and school supplies.
He hadn't done it yet, but look how he was the first person to congratulate Brady, before Brady could even stand up, on winning a Super Bowl trophy that should have been the Seahawks' if not for one of the stupidest play calls in Super Bowl history, if not the stupidest.
Crabtree opened his mouth about Sherman. Sherman is just supposed to let it go with one comment? If you're going to talk about someone, you better be prepared for a backlash times 10 if you don't back it up.
Furthermore, they're divisional foes, so not just like it's some random player that he chose to have a beef with. He sees Crabtree AT LEAST twice every year, so they're obviously going to talk trash about one another. Only difference is that Sherman backs it up and comes even harder.
It's funny to insinuate that you didn't believe I'm chemotherapy since only a fool wouldn't know about it. It is also funny to get a rise out of people who have a habit of blowing things out of proportion and freaking out in ridiculous ways. I can't believe you need this explained.
I also just explained why Pat probably thinks Sherman is a dbag. Hell, is was a direct response to the post game interview. He acted like a meathead idiot on camera about Crabtree and then proceeded to continue the trash talk into the off-season. Some people aren't a fan of trash talkers because they can come of as douchebags. There are MANY smart people who are athletic. I never see Pat calling them dbags. I bet that is because they never had a stupid rant and held a stupid grudge publicly (wow, I just realized why you might love him so much. You two have a bit in common).
Also, I hope our youth doesn't look up to Sherman. A better role model would be someone who grew up poor and worked like Sherman, but they would also act a little more humble and classier. Sherman is far from humble and not classy. I hope our kids look up to someone with the personality of Larry Fitzgerald.
