This story just won’t die. I guess with only one game left in the NFL season for the media to focus on I shouldn’t be surprised. You can now add NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to the list of people not to happy with Richard Sherman’s post game comments after beating the 49ers. Seems like everyone with a mouth has had an opinion about it. Hit the jump.
“No, I’m not cheering for that,” Goodell said on “CBS This Morning” on Thursday, referring to comments Sherman made about San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree following the Seahawks’ thrilling 23-17 victory last weekend. “(Sherman) is such a great young man. He is extremely well-spoken, does great things off the field, obviously a great player on the field. I want him to present himself in the best possible way and make sure that he is reflecting on himself and his family in a positive way.”
“He took away a little bit from the team, that’s what he said yesterday, and I think that was a very interesting comment and I think that was fair,” Goodell said.
The fact that Goodell isn’t a fan of Sherman’s comments really is not a big deal. But you don’t want to be on his bad side the way he likes to hand out fines and look for suspect reasons to suspend players.
