Regardless of what some of these players are like in regular life, the NFL media likes to paint certain narratives. For example, Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman is a loud, outspoken, “thug” and New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is a saint, who plays the game right. Well the two have faced off and exchanged words before and it could happen again as the two teams will play each other in the upcoming Super Bowl. Sherman however wants to set the record straight and let everyone know who the real Tom Brady is.
Everyone remembers Sherman’s infamous “You mad bro?” to Tom Brady but what did Brady say to him?
“I think people some time get a skewed view of Tom Brady,” Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman told reporters on Wednesday, “that he’s just a clean cut, does everything right, and never says a bad word to anyone, and we know him to be otherwise, but in that moment of him being himself, he said some things and we returned the favor. Unfortunately he apparently didn’t remember what he said, but I’m sure at those moments of yelling at the ref, I’m sure he was saying, ‘Good job, you’re doing a fantastic job, keep it up.’”
Apparently, that’s not what he said to the refs — or to the Seahawks.
“He was pretty much saying that we were nobodies and that we should come up to him after they get the win,” Sherman said. “So we should take that pretty well. ‘Cool, can I get your autograph too?’”
“He said stuff like that throughout the game.”
