During a post-game sideline interview with Fox Sports’ Erin Andrews, Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman went off on San Francisco 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree while giving himself some high praise:

Wow, what a humble victor!
Richard Sherman just showed why the world will be rooting for the Broncos to win in two weeks.

Sherman bragged about being the “best CB” in football:

More tweeters weighed in as, not coincidentally, #Classless is trending:
Howard Dean made his infamous scream 10 years ago today. R Sherman simply paying tribute?

Football fans: Would you rather have a classy cornerback, or would you rather have Richard Sherman?

Someone gave Richard Sherman his medication right after he talked to Erin Andrews. He sounded somewhat normal talking with the trophy.

NOT BREAKING NEWS: Erin Andrews is being treated for concussion-like symptoms after the Richard Sherman interview. NFL protocol is in effect

Richard Sherman's actions at the end of the game were classless, especially with so many children watching the game.

Richard Sherman needs to ingest some of that legalized weed and just chillax.
