Two Richard Shermans.. Double the Fun

To explain the Seahawks DB’s postgame takedown of 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree, CNN reported:

“There are two Richard Shermans.
There’s the smart Stanford graduate who loves to read.
And there’s the brash, trash-talker who considers himself the best NFL player.”

The trash-talking was unfortunate; an adrenalized lapse in judgment. But the existence of TWO Richard Shermans—Richard and Brash Richard—is a revelation. With their powers combined, can you imagine what they’re capable of? I can.
