Not to belabor the Richard Sherman incident, but...

Well, it turns out he wasn't lying.  Everything transpired as he said it did at the end of the game, and Crabtree really was the jerk.  He didn't taunt Crabtree prior to getting pushed in the facemask by Crabtree.  As Sherman said, they were both mic'd up, and you can hear Sherman running up to Crabtree, saying, "Helluva game, helluva game," with hand extended to exchange shakes.  Then, Crabtree reaches out and pushes Sherman away in the facemask.

Sounds exactly like the same behavior and interaction  that Sherman's brother described, had occurred last Summer at Larry Fitzgerald's charity fundraiser, doesn't it?

That's what really pushed Sherman over the edge, when approached for comment by Erin Andrews.

It used to be that "words will never hurt me"; apparently Sherman's critics (and Crabtree) are hurt easily by words.
