Seattle Seahawks All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman is becoming well-known for his talent on the field, as well as his trash talking. Recently grabbed headlines for having a Twitter beef with New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis.
Sherman is again in the news not for his football skill, but for his complete annihilation of ESPN's Skip Bayless during a Thursday episode of "First Take."
Instead of being baited into a Sherman vs. Revis conversation, he instead told Bayless to address him as "All-Pro Stanford graduate" and then went on to say that the ESPN analyst has "never accomplished anything." Bayless, who's always shown willingness to embrace conflict and debate on the show, went right back at Sherman, claiming he has accomplished more in his field than Sherman has on the gridiron.
"I'm the top of my field. I'm All-Pro. I'm one of the best 22 players in the NFL," Sherman fired back. "You're going to brush it off, but I don't think you're the best 22 anything. In sports. In media. In anything. I think you think more of yourself than you actually can prove. I'll put it like this. In my 24 years of life, I'm better at life than you."
You would think that the whole "better at life" claim would be enough for Sherman, well, think again. Sherman went on to call Bayless "ignorant, pompous, egotistical."
Sherman now joins a list of professional athletes, past and present, who have battled Bayless that includes Terrell Suggs, Jalen Rose, Charles Barkley, Mitch Williams and Kevin Durant.
Below is the Sherman vs. Bayless showdown:
