    Happy birthday. Sherman was completely classless yesterday. I hope he apologizes. What a horrible way to represent your city and team.

    Looks like you got your apology after all: http://espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/2013/story/_/id/10324613/2013-nfl-playoffs-richard-sherman-apologizes-ripping-michael-crabtree

    Yes, that's what winning means in a sports competition.

    I'll dispute that. Winning does not have to mean showing someone up or being overly prideful. I'll even wager to say that to have pride in yourself requires you have respect for your opponents, even when they - gasp - say something you don't like.
    CM189191 said:


    Evidently. Richard Sherman cared what Crabtree said. Unfortunately, everyone seems to be focused on Sherman's reaction.

    CM189191 said:


    Yes, I agree. Crabtree ran his mouth, Sherman got results.

    You're misunderstanding my point. If the end result of the game is really what matters, then why was Sherman so focused on what Michael Crabtree said? Why didn't his comments focus on what his team did and not what he himself did?
    CM189191 said:


    Careful with those gorilla comments. This man graduated second in his high school class and went to Stanford on a full ride.

    I didn't call him a gorilla and my comments about his interview had nothing to with how smart he is. It has to do with this nonsense tough-guy BS that's too prevalent in sports culture today.

    I can't really tell if you're disagreeing with me or not. Like I said, anyone shocked that an athlete responded in an amped-up way should look at the context: it was seconds after an emotional win in a huge game. It shouldn't be a surprise that he reacted how he did.

    Belying that however, he looked and sounded like a classless egomaniac. Sports doesn't require trash-talk, tough-talk, chest-beating, or this Me-First attitude that is so prevalent in the NFL. And yet, here's another blazing example.

    Two things can be true at the same time. He was set-up to make a dumb emotional statement. But he still sounded like an idiot.

    Sober lockerroom advice from a veteran coach (in the offseason) would sound like this: "Get your head in the game kid. The fact that you apparently still needed to be vindicated by calling out Michael Crabtree on national TV after your team punched their pass to the Super Bowl speaks volumes about where your head is at."

    Dang, we should form a sports radio show. Vant and CM's sports hour on the PJ message board!!! I'll be the mediator. :-)

    Ha, dig Skid Row in that snowboarding video. I do have a soft spot for "I remember you" by them.

    In any case, please play MN in 2014! We want you here!!! We will cheer our butts off!!!

    This is the last I have to say on the matter. Please feel free to respond, then we can get back to regularly scheduled programming of convincing Pearl Jam to come visit the great state of MN. Where sports fans can debate in a reasonable, level-headed manner.

    I fundamentally agree with your definition of winning, yes. But the NFL and in particular the media that covers it eschewed this standard long ago. They will continue to reward players like Sherman for these outbursts because while it may not make for good sportsmanship, it certainly makes for good entertainment and ratings. I would say your definition is more applicable to high school, college or intramural leagues.

    The reason Sherman's response was so focused on Crabtree is because Erin Andrews specifically asked him: "The last play - take me thru it". She didn't ask about the game, or the team, she wanted to know how he felt about that final play. He was obviously happy to oblige.

    I only mention the gorilla comments because Sherman rec'd a whole slew of racist feedback afterwards. You seem like a nice guy, and I didn't want you to accidentally lump yourself into that category with those fools.

    And yes, I do agree with you - people shouldn't have been shocked by the amplitude of his response immediately after such and intense game/play. As I understand it, there is a mandatory ten minute cooling off period for players before they talk to the media in the locker room after games, but this does not include on-field interviews.

    Judging from the apology today, it sounds like coach didn't wait until the off-season to set him straight. "He was really clear that the last thing he wanted to do was take something away from our team, what we had accomplished,” said Carroll.

    It sounds like Sherman knows exactly what he's doing. And I would wager that if he were put in that situation again, he wouldn't change much. I guess we'll find out in a couple weeks.

    I'm not sure they try to squeeze in add'l dates between Australia & Europe. Also, they played Buffalo & Ontario last year, which are both pretty close to Toronto.

    I would expect the next tour dates to be take place after they return from Europe. But the announcement after their done in AUS.

    Just pure speculation on my part...maybe they don't want to take a break between AUS & Europe. Pedal to the Metal! I think Spring dates puts them indoors - Target Center or XCel?

    January: AUS/NZ
    February: EV AUS
    March: off

    June: Europe
    July: Europe
    August: off
    September: off
    October: tour
    November: off
    December: off

    There's hope for you. Matt Cameron doesn't take a year off from Soundgarden to "fulfill obligations with Pearl Jam" and then only tour with them for two months (what we know now: January, half of June, half of July).

    I know there's some pessimism, but do the math. It makes zero sense that he would take the whole year off from SG for two months of PJ (especially because PJ is already not touring during known Soundgarden dates - Lollapalooza SA).

    I'm not saying they do a 50 date tour, but I'll bet money we see two at least two additional months in 2014 - BEYOND WHAT WE KNOW - with PJ dates in the US.
