Someone was reporting a long while ago that he started his media skipping, pedantic-answers act not because of shyness but because of the inane yes/no questions sports writers like to ask. He would answer yes or no, but then wouldn't expound on the topic, which is what the writers want. There are a few that can get some real exchanges out of him, but they're always away from the rest of the writers and they word questions so that yes/no responses aren't going to work - what he saw during a specific play, things like that.

It would have been great if he'd continued doing this. Just train the animals -- they'll get it eventually.

Sherman is hilarious, since the usual suspects tried to jam him into the Crazy Angry Black Man Oh God Kill Him Before He Rapes Erin Andrews!!!! box and instead he's 50x brighter (Stanford) than the typical sports "journalist" (Large Midwestern University), and he's light years ahead of them in his ability to control an interview, steer it towards (or away from) matters of substance, and then ram their idiotic concern trolling right back down their throats. Dude is a more eloquent opponent of the herpa-derps' racism than Ta-Nehisi Coates.

He's also a classless jackazz.

Your tire analogy isn't going to be as close as you want to think. Your tires occupy a much greater volume of space than a football does. That difference in volume will exagerate your variances. Add to that, your black tires will absorb a lot of energy on a sunny day vs the next day when the sky is cloudy and they're wet, there are too many variables for a good comparison.

Take your point, and maybe shouldnt have said would be a 2.5 pound change. Yes, there would be an impact, but much less than a tire given volume.

I think if the media is so aggravated with him, they should give him exactly what he wants. Because I think it would be pretty amusing to see him sitting there for five minutes and have not one member of the press be at his station. He's getting attention without answering any questions. I don't know if anyone here remembers the show "Taxi." There was one episode I always think of nowadays with the press frenzy over everything. Bobby (the actor driving a cab) had a one-man show. He wrote a letter to the editor about a theater critic who never had a good review and had given a bad review to another show. He dared the critic to come to his show. The guy did. He met with Bobby in the taxi garage. Showed him the review, told him he did a great job, then tore it in half and said something like "A good review would make you a star. A bad review from me would also make you famous. But no review means you will simply fade away." I wonder really how he would react if everyone did ignore him. Could be an interesting case study on behavior.

That'd be great, but the media would never fall for this gag. ;)

I don't see the unlikeability. He's perfectly deflated the pompous idiocy that is sports "reporting." He's 100% likeable as far as I'm concerned.

He comes across as a DB to me. And before you say that it's just because I'm a Pats fan, I think GLA is a DB in front of the media, too. A different breed of DB, but a DB none the less.

Re: NFL 2015: Let's Talk About Balls

I wonder what the NFL is going to do about the name of the Super Bowl in 2016?

Super Bowl L is not going to cut it, I'm sure.


PS I thought it was amusing that the MVP of Super Bowl XL was Jerome "the Bus" Bettis.

They already came out and said they're going to do 50 for that one.
 
Re: NFL 2015: Let's Talk About Balls

There were so many segments on ESPN last night calling the Super Bowl the biggest/greatest/most memorable/best event in sports... Not even close.

More people watched the Cricket World Cup Final, the 2012 Olympic 100m spring final, the Champions League final, twice as much watched the Euro Cup Final, and eight times as many watched the World Cup final. In fact, the viewership for the Super Bowl is as close to the Brazil Grand Prix than it is to the Cricket WC.

Plus, other sports have better controverseys. What's better: Deflategate, or Nike telling Brazil who to play in the World Cup Final?
