Seattle Seahawk stud cornerback and righteous smack-talker, Richard Sherman, was definitely ready for his close-up last night for America after the ‘hawks beat the Niners 23-17 in the NFC conference championship game.
Here’s Sherm after the game with Fox’s Erin Andrews:
Twitter and other social media outlets went bonkers almost immediately criticizing Sherman for his brashness and crassness.
Ummm…. You stick a microphone in Richard Sherman’s face right after an amazingly emotional roller coaster of a game and you are going to get Richard Sherman. America was apparently unaware of this phenomena.
All this really was reminisce of the whole Phil Robertson/Duck Dynasty kerfuffle of a few weeks back: wow… you think a rural, southern, evangelical Christian might not be down with gay marriage or homosexuality in general? Shocking.
And in the same vein, how absolutely boring would the NFL be if everyone gave interviews like Peyton Manning.
Anyway…
Awww... look at America acting like they're getting their first dose of Richard Sherman. #NFLPlayoffs @Mad_Maxamillion @Corey0Brien

— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) January 20, 2014Diva much? And...?
Why are people expecting the wide receivers of the defense to behave/speak any differently? @Mad_Maxamillion @Psudrozz #NFLPlayoffs
— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) January 20, 2014And in terms of media freaking out...
Right now, Richard Sherman is football equivalent of Chris Christie. #NFLPlayoffs #NFL #OhMyGod
— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) January 20, 2014Can’t help but think that many of the same people that decry the banalities and clichés of your typical sports interview, were absolutely hammering Sherman for cutting against the grain and actually providing some entertainment.
My liking both Peyton Manning and Richard Sherman do not involve mutually exclusive concepts. #NFLPlayoffs
— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) January 20, 2014We admire Peyton for his humility and down-to-earthedness, why can’t we like Richard Sherman for baring a personality that is in direct opposition to that?
And as the healthcare world turns… same ol’, same ol’…
http://t.co/tqOlNJVc4b Yet another delay to a portion of the healthcare law. #clueless #spastic

— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) January 20, 2014Across the pond, England threw some hapless schmuck in jail for saying mean stuff on social media. Remember, gang, we can’t get too caught up in American exceptionalism – we need to look, also, to our European cousins for things like healthcare and not-so-free speech.
http://t.co/RbQBhVNYsS Before long, we'll be the only western industrialized nation to not throw it's citizens in jail for saying dumb s**t.

— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) January 17, 2014http://t.co/zErn6JRF7u If you can be "incited to hatred", perhaps it is you that has the problem. #freespeech
— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) January 17, 2014Oh, and then there was that awesome article from Salon.com
http://t.co/6kTGOrGhNE To the dim bulbs @Salon free speech = government sanctioned/controlled speech. It worked so well last century.
— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) January 18, 2014http://t.co/6kTGOrGhNE "social justice committees"... let me help you out @Salon... "brown shirts" Fixed!
— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) January 18, 2014http://t.co/6kTGOrGhNE Hi @Salon, you do realize that in the world you advocate, your dumb article doesn't get published, right?
— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) January 18, 2014http://t.co/6kTGOrGhNE Having said that, I will fight tooth and nail for @Salon right to publish their dumb anti-free speech articles.
— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) January 18, 2014@Salon in your world I will make sure "social justice committee" gives u a well-deserved enema. Why? Well, just because. See how that works?
— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) January 18, 2014Related: our feckless mainstream media…
http://t.co/IGVSYjBwwJ Hi, @Salon. This is what your state-approved media looks like.
— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) January 19, 2014Texas Governor Rick Perry told his citizens that pro-choice folks aren’t welcome in Texas. Naw… you knew we were pulling your leg. New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo on the other hand…
http://t.co/HzgRITf9rQ I (heart) doucebags telling people where and where not they are welcome. #progressives
— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) January 18, 2014http://t.co/rqPymbfWva You are not welcome at "Bull" Cuomo's lunch counter. @iowahawkblog
— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) January 18, 2014If you want to live in NY, you have to agree w/ Gov Cuomo? What an arrogant, undemocratic mindset. http://t.co/uzYZDjKNgv
— S.E. Cupp (@secupp) January 18, 2014So, Governor Cuomo, we haven't done this sort of thing in this country in a while. What's your preference? Rubber bullets or fire hoses?
— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) January 18, 2014Damn. We forgot about the German Shepherd option
Our liberal/"progressive" friends are addicted to the cult of personality and refuse to acknowledge the following:
It's clear after 5+ years that by "fundamentally transforming" this country, he meant further entrenching the crony, corporatist status quo.
— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) January 17, 2014Selling a crappy law and the politics of weird:
http://t.co/FwNtrCCAWm Government propaganda with a end-of-times vibe to it. #ObamaCare
— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) January 17, 2014Big #NSA speech on Friday by the President…
Shorter Obama: “And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it were for that meddling Edward Snowden."
— Jason Pye (@jaseliberty) January 17, 2014"NSA and other intelligence agencies are our neighbors and our friends."~Barack Obama 1/17/14
Your friends are spying on you.
Not creepy...
— RufusKings1776 (@RufusKings1776) January 17, 2014http://t.co/JkYMX0UiGn "... it was full of muted sound and absent fury, and meant mostly nothing." #NSA
— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) January 17, 2014http://t.co/lfGc0Tn2F9 No way he wanted a "national conversation" abt this. He's only doing the absolute min. because he got caught. #NSA
— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) January 17, 2014http://t.co/IN1BpyMLmb Because nothing says "trust me" like a speech on Friday. #NSA
— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) January 19, 2014So, we're you re-assured by Preezy's NSA speech yesterday? Yeah, me neither.
— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) January 18, 2014Lying about something as trivial as not ever meeting one's uncle is small potatoes... right up until one makes that #NSA speech. #liar
— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) January 18, 2014In case you haven’t been paying attention, the new church ladies and nanny-staters are on the left:
http://t.co/sHQbu5B7PI. Here's some more of that diversity of opinion I am told progressives value so much.
— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) January 18, 2014http://t.co/wdejcJUVF5. This must be some more of that progressive diversity of opinion I keep hearing about. #fracking
— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) January 20, 2014http://t.co/pqjqK6hPaX. The religiosity of the left: dissent and diversity of thought will not be tolerated. Heretics will be burned
— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) January 19, 2014And, finally, ladies and gentlemen, the gift that keeps giving: our Vice President, Joe Biden:
http://t.co/y3Qzrd6sXL All attempts to parody or caricature Joe Biden fail miserably in the face of reality.
— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) January 20, 2014http://t.co/y3Qzrd6sXL Because all great southern statesmen owe a debt of gratitude to Delaware or RI or wherever the hell Biden is from.
