We all knew that Richard Sherman would provide some top notch trash talk in the lead-up to Super Bowl XLIX, but the Seattle Seahawks cornerback has already surpassed expectations.

With Tom Brady and the rest of the New England Patriots organization under siege for the alleged 'Deflategate' scandal, Sherman told reporters that he thinks Brady's golden boy, All-American reputation is unearned.
“Like I said before, I think people some time get a skewed view of Tom Brady,” Sherman said, per Comcast SportsNet. “That he’s just a clean-cut [guy], 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.”

Hopefully Sherman will be close to full health by next Sunday (he was injured in the second half of last weekend's NFC Championship Game vs. Green Bay), because his battle against Brady should be one of the best match-ups of Super Bowl XLIX.
Sherman was also asked about the Patriots' deflated footballs specifically. He gave voice to what many people in NFL circles are thinking, which is that the Pats will largely escape major punishment despite the alleged cheating.
“I’m not sure anything will come of it, honestly,” Sherman said to the New York Daily News. “If it’s against the rules, it’s against the rules. But it’s not going to have any effect on this game. Nobody’s going to get suspended. Nothing’s going to happen. They’re going to play this game. Whatever they did, the risk-reward was greater.”
