For what it's worth, here are my thoughts on last night's experience:
1. Sherman made an incredible play. He has serious talent and skill.
2. When Sherman made that "choke" symbol to the 49ers player, he was being rude, or, as Ezra said it, he was acting like a jerk.
3. I am sad that my boys saw him do that, but I am glad they recognized that it was not appropriate.
4. I do realize that the 49ers player may have been saying rude things that we did not hear.
5. That interview was funny to me, mostly because of the reporter's reaction.
6. Sherman's actual words (if you can get past the yelling) most likely reflect the honest thoughts of many pro athletes who have the gumption to reach that level of play.
7. I believe there is a different way to live and think about one's self, but, if I'm brutally honest, sometimes I feel that way about myself, too.
8. I believe that Sherman is an intelligent man based on his past accomplishments, but that interview still makes me say "WOW".
9. If I had just been running and jumping and stretching out my arm way far, particularly with all of that gear on, maybe I would have been yelling too.
10. All in all, he's still a person just like me, and he likely has a mama who loves him and doesn't want me to assume that his public actions and interviews completely define him...at least that's what I would want for my boys....BUT if any of my boys ever makes that choke sign at someone, they better believe they'll be in trouble with me, even if they are playing in the NFL.
