Richard Sherman's weekly meeting with the media on Tuesday concluded in a very awkward fashion after the Seattle Seahawks cornerback threatened one of the media members on ruining their career.
Jim Moore of 710 ESPN Seattle asked Sherman about his criticism of offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell's play call of a 1-yard pass at the goal line during the team's win over the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night.
That is when things hit a turn:
Moore told Sherman that what he didn’t understand is that Bevell is trying to call plays he thinks will work but that Sherman thinks he has a “better handle’’ of what should be called.Listen to it all take place below:
“No, I just had a, we had a prior experience (the Super Bowl) so we talked about it,’’ Sherman replied to Moore. “But let me guess — you have a better play to call. Let me guess, you have a better experience.’’
When Moore said no, Sherman said “then you should probably kind of stop.’’
The press conference ended a few minutes later.
As Sherman walked off the stage and down a walkway that headed out of the auditorium, he passed Moore and said “You don’t want to go there. You do not. I’ll ruin your career.”
Said Moore: “You’ll ruin my career? How are you going to do that?”
Said Sherman: “I’ll make sure you don’t get your media pass anymore.”
Said Moore: “Is that right?”
Said Sherman, as he continued walking away: “Yes it is.”
