Sherman To Crabtree: Helluva Game

Super Bowl XLVIII is 10 days away, but off-the-field drama continues for Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman. He's facing backlash over his post-playoff rant Sunday. However, newly released audio clips from the game reveal the moments before Sherman's post-game rant. By now, most people have seen or heard about Sherman's post-game interview, but nobody really knew what he told 49ers wide-receiver Michael Crabtree in the end zone, until now. It turns out throughout the game,  the NFL had both players mic'd up. Some of the clips aired Wednesday night on Showtime’s "Inside The NFL." Seconds after the pivotal play cemented Seattle’s victory, Sherman sprinted over to 49ers receiver Crabtree and said “Hell of a game - hell of game!” Crabtree then shoves Sherman in the face/CBS This Morning. More here. (AP file photo of Seattle's Richard Sherman tipping last-gasp pass to San Francisco's Michael Crabtree in end zone)

Question: Do you think Seahawk Sherman is shouldering too much of the blame for his after-game rant last Sunday?
