San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree learned that the hard way. After he supposedly was talking smack to Sherman before the
2013-14 NFC Championship Game, Richard Sherman proceeded to bury him in one of the greatest postgame interviews of all time.
Richard Sherman Interview
Interviewed by Fox Sports’ sideline reporter Erin Andrews, Sherman proceeded to call 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree a “sorry receiver” before declaring himself as the “best corner in the game.” He stormed off in celebration before Andrews had the chance to ask a follow-up question.
Sherman’s rant is one of the greatest in football history. The All-Pro and self-proclaimed best cornerback in the league held Crabtree to just
Texas Tech has a lot of history in the Super Bowl. They were represented in the first one and have had big moments in the big game throughout the history of the NFL. Now, for more than a decade, the Red Raiders have owned the biggest stage of them all.
