He's no different than the Tom Brady's of the world who do the exact same thing when a call doesn't go their way (see: Brady's reaction after the Luke Kuechly/Rob Gronkowski play a couple years back. He literally chased down Clete Blakeman lol). I think everyone agrees he went too far on this particular play, and he was flagged for it (as he should have been). I haven't called him an ignorant thug, so why are you directing this ire at me? As for the Brady incident, you cannot compare it. Did Brady take his helmet off to scream at the ref? Did he then continue after he was flagged? (he didn't get flagged). Did he THEN continue, chasing the ref down the field, whilst his teammates try and restrain him? He shouted at the ref, for sure. He quickly got over it, and ran down the tunnel whilst talking to the ref (who was running alongside him). You can't compare the two. A better comparison would be Takeo Spikes when he got into it with Charles Woodson. Ref ejected him, and he tore the ref a new one whilst his team mates struggled to restrain him. Should have been suspended. If it was on the street, he'd be arrested. I'm glad you agree he went too far. That's all I'm saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'm saying is that Sherman's actions really aren't that rare, and the fact that a Patriots fan, of all people, was making it out to be that way, was kind of ironic.

Kip Smithers Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Wait so do you think he should be suspended for what he did to the ref? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a PI call, a holding call and also an unsportsmanlike for removing helmet and screaming at ref. He then continued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seen as you asked, he shouldn't be suspended simply because what he did doesn't warrant it. He didnt touch him, he didn't verbally abuse him (as far as I Know). It was him as a player simply illustrating his annoyance and anger towards a call which happens, you know, on a weekly basis. Suggesting he be suspended is ridiculous.

I'd have thought that was obvious. It was more than what happens on a weekly basis. There's been what, nearly 50 games so far this season? Show me anything resembling what Sherman done. (same extent). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Smithers Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 He verbally abused him? What did he say? he was unhappy with a call and voiced his displeasure. Was he more persistent then your average player? Sure. But that's it. Nothing egregious. Get outta here with abuse and getting arrested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belichick even grabbed a ref And Wilfork was screaming at a ref with much more force that Sherman did, suspend and arrest them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
