Twitter Reacts to Richard Sherman Debating Skip Bayless on ESPN
Richard Sherman has never been shy.
Whether he was taking on future Hall of Famer Tom Brady, shutdown corner Darrelle Revis or just unknowing fans in New Orleans, he has always done what he wants and said whatever has been on his mind.
Just take this exclusive video he did for Bleacher Report as an example:
That charisma hasn't exactly rubbed everyone the right way, but there's no denying it has given the public some truly entertaining moments.
Well, the Seattle Seahawks cornerback has given us yet another gem: On Thursday afternoon, he went on First Take and, to put it lightly, made it clear he wasn't the biggest fan of controversial host Skip Bayless:
As it tends to do with anything Sherman- or Bayless-related, Twitter chimed in with full force.
Twitter Reaction
Following his appearance, Sherman made it abundantly clear how little he cared about the opinions of others, Bayless or otherwise:
If I cared about the opinions of others I would never have made it this far.Obviously the system works

As for the reactions, they were varied. First, Rotoworld's Evan Silva, Q13 Fox's Aaron Levine and CBS Sports' Pete Prisco gave us an account of what happened:
Richard Sherman to Skip Bayless: "In my 24 years of life, I'm better at life than you. I'm better than you."
— Evan Silva (@evansilva) March 7, 2013
Love @rsherman_25 lay smackdown on @realskipbayless: "U dont have anything positive 2 say about anything. Ur ignorant, pompous, a cretin..."
— Aaron Levine (@AaronQ13Fox) March 7, 2013
Richard Sherman almost made Skip Bayless cry and rightfully so since skip said he's not in same class with Revis. Moronic
— Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) March 7, 2013
Some fans were on board with Sherman's performance. This one suggested what many have been wishing upon Bayless for a long time:
@realskipbayless Richard Sherman just stole your man card. You should prob just quit your job

Another fan gained a new-found respect for the polarizing star:
After that First Take, @rsherman_25 for sure just became my favorite DB. Not only did he shut up Skip, he did it intelligently lol #BoutTime
— Daniel Halverson (@DHalv32) March 7, 2013
Many weren't nearly as thrilled. This fan summed it up with one word:
One word. Disrespectful @espn_firsttake: What's your TAKE on Richard Sherman during today's show?
— Tracie Chaney (@MrsChaney2b) March 7, 2013
This one summed it up with a few more:
Richard Sherman sound so stupid on First Take. I think he went into the interview with the "i must beat skip bayless" mentality
— Julian B. McMillian (@HeartBreakBlake) March 7, 2013
Make sure to let us know what you think. Did Sherman go over the line, or was he right in speaking his mind—again?
