an opinion on it. i was watching the game, i m a big football fan. i think richard sherman is great. he is accurate when he says he s the best corner back in the league. what i don t understand is where is it written that every athlete has to be as boring as derek jeter? derek jeeter is a great player who has. said an interesting thing in 20 years. richard sherman is a stanford graduate, an interesting person, a lot to say. he got a little excited after the game. good for him. michael crabtree, the receiver, had been trash talking him during the game, so he responded. the other thing that s weird to me, there was another football player, and i don t know much about football, but there was another player who was criticized for his comments after a football game. the mother of one of the people he beat said, you know, that this person doesn t know how to speak the english language. and what was interesting to me about that is, people jumped on that quarterback or that player for ho
a lot of people are still talking about the postgame rant by corner back richard sherman, including sherman himself. it happened sunday night after his team beat the san francisco 49ers. sherman, caught up in the victory, had a few choice words about himself and michael crabtree. here s some of what he told erin andrews. i m the best coroner the game. when you try me with a sorry receiver like crabtree, that s the results you going to get. don t you ever talk about me! who was talking about you? crabtree. don t you open your mouth about the best. or i m going to shut it for you real quick! before and joe, back over to you. the seahawks richard sherman sunday night caught up in the excitement of the game. that led to a number of twitter comments, one calling him a street thug. another saying, proficient that you can go to stanford and still be a thug. andre iguodala of the golden state warriors wrote, we just
0 the impostor, the story of a frenchman who convinced a texas family they were his missing child. that s all for us. ac 360 later starts right now. good evening, everyone. welcome to ac 360 later. a crushing development in the case of the brain dead texas woman being kept on life support because she s pregnant. is it safe to go to the olympics in sochi? that amazing new rob ford video and his reaction to it. the executive producer of house of cards joins us and more. we ll show you comments on the bottom of the screen. we begin tonight with breaking news. a story that s set off a national debate over life and death, and whether being pregnant takes away a woman s right to have her end of life wishes respected. she was 14 weeks pregnant when she collapsed of a blood clot. her family says she s brain dead, which means under the law in all 50 states, she is dead. in any event, well before she fell ill, her husband said they discussed being in this situation. not when she was pr
but the nfl, in its tremendous wisdom, has done this because i will guarantee you, i will watch a miked up richard sherman, miked up michael crabtree, so get some sort of who is telling the truth, who is right and who acted wrong in all this. i mean, this is a sports fan and i put myself in that category. this is a dream! you get primary source material. and this is going to be tonight. we ll hear on the nfl the actual audio because they all were wearing mikes, apparently. but you don t need the audio to know what richard sherman was saying when he goes like this and points to the sideline. fair point. however, sportsmanship was apparent silently. context does matter, so maybe because richard sherman s side of the story was that michael crabtree was taunting him the whole game, so maybe we ll get a fuller picture. but i can just tell you, the fact we just need to get a few politicians agree to be
always a delight. and let s start with you, carl lewis. what do you think as an athlete, who has been at the very, very top of your game for a very long time. when you saw richard sherman go off like that, did you empathize? did you understand what he was doing? well, you know, it s really interesting. because people are quick to judge and they don t know the back story. so obviously, there was something between he and crabtree that went back a while. number one. number two, this is a very intelligent, articulate guy who does a lot of things and understands what he s doing. i ve been in that situation where you make a play like that for the super bowl. the super bowl is something you only have one shot at. and understanding the olympics, i get it. so the emotion of that moment i think overtook him. and i think it was emotion. yeah, completely agree. let s move quickly carl, to the very reason we ve got you on tonight. chris christie still engulfed in this bridgegate scandal, and yo
