Richard Sherman: The NFC Championship Game was the Super Bowl

The Seahawks were crowned NFL champions on Sunday night in MetLife Stadium, but cornerback Richard Sherman said the coronation actually came two weeks earlier in Seattle.

Sherman was referring to the NFC Championship Game victory over the 49ers, a game that ended with Sherman’s much-discussed interview with Erin Andrews on the field and which Sherman says was this year’s real Super Bowl.

“The NFC Championship was the Super Bowl. The 49ers were the second-best team in the NFL,” Sherman said, via Robert Klemko of TheMMQB.com.

Sherman’s words might be a bit impolitic, Klemko writes that Sherman “hates to admit it,” but the Broncos didn’t present much of a counter-argument on Sunday in New Jersey. The Seahawks looked faster, stronger and better prepared than Denver, something that wasn’t nearly as clear cut in two of their three games against the 49ers this season.

Oddsmakers are predicting a similar look at the top of the NFL pyramid next season and we could see things play out the same way again if they’re correct about the league’s pecking order.

Someone told me a long time ago that a the definition of a fool is someone that doesn't know when to shut up.

He's right. The Niners are much better than the Broncos.

The AFC is looking weak right now.

He "might be right"... But that's some serious disrespect to the Broncos. It's just not a smart thing to say.

Vince Lombardi said the same thing about the Chiefs after the first Super Bowl.

And that was his problem when he went off about Crabtree the other week. He might have been right about being great and shutting Crab down but it's just disrespectful, arrogant, and dumb. I hate hearing the argument that it's not cocky if you can back it up. Umm, yes, it is cocky. It might be true but it's just disrespectful, and being disrespectful is a the calling card of a DNA rifle.

Well some may think there's little wrong with being cocky if you can back it up. Yes humility is the more admirable trait, but it would be boring if everyone was classy and said the same repeated phrases.
