The Seahawks won't end up as one of the NFL's most hated teams. Most of the time the league and the media don't even pay attention to the Hawks way up here in South Alaska. I missed many games this year and would wait to watch the highlights on the NFL channel. Most of the time the Hawks were one of the last teams to have the highlights shown and then it was about 30 seconds worth. This on a channel owned by the NFL so I don't worry too much about their perception by the rest of the country.

That being said, if Sherman wants to proclaim he is the best corner, fine with me. There are plenty of outlets for him to do that. The only problem I have with it is that as good as he is, he still needs the other 10 guys to do their jobs effectively so he can excel at his responsibility and his outburst overshadows an incredible total team defensive performance last Sunday. Cam Chancellor was huge in that game, as was every lineman and line backer. Chancellor alone had an interception, de-cleated Vernon Davis AGAIN, and caused Crabtree to alligator arm a slant pass.

Unfortunately, instead of the rest of the country talking and hearing about one of the best defensive performances in professional football and one of the best conference championship games ever, we are left with Shermangate for the rest of the week.
