I do have a hypothetical question though: What would America's reaction have been if a similar tirade came from the golden boy QB had the Pats won.

Personally, I would have been just as turned off. The reason he's the "golden boy" is because he's never behaved like that. One of the problems with Sherman's incident is that there's really not much to compare it to. It's pretty much off the charts.

In the other thread, someone mentioned an incident from 2006, where Peyton mentioned that his team struggled to protect him (after he was sacked 5 times against Pittsburgh). Do a Google search, and you will see that "golden boy" got called out, even for THAT remark. So he's not above reproach.
huh?

brady not too long ago said the s-word on live camera and stormed out of a press conference.

Yeah.
How did I miss that???

Because he's white, and it doesn't become a major talking point on the national thug-outrage circuit when a white athlete gets a little worked up in a post-game interview?

Interestingly enough, you'll hear about it for days when the white athlete's wife does something like question his teammates abilities to help him win games.

Or because press conferences aren't televised and seen by 56 million people on network television?

I hate Brady, but that was a dick move right there. Of course if Brady had told him to [expletive] off, that would have made national news. If I just lost a big game and some asshat got in my face like that, I would have acted exactly like Crabtree did, or worse.

This is the best way to deal with a guy like Sherman:

I was mostly kidding, but if Sherman had a problem with Crabtree, he should have dealt with it man-to-man, rather than showboating for a camera when a reporter asks him a question.
