5 biggest trash talkers in Seattle Seahawks history

Number 1: Seahawks CB and undisputed king of trash talk, Richard Sherman

Is there any doubt that the player who was the most vocal member of the Legion of Boom is also the greatest trash talker in Seahawks history? In fact, Richard Sherman might be the best talker of trash in NFL history. He was a physically imposing cornerback, for sure, but his ability to intimidate was also based on his attitude and constant chirping.

Sherman is actually so good at talking smack that even quotes attributed to him that are most likely untrue seem believable. For instance, the meme of Sherman saying, “You mad, bro?” to Tom Brady didn’t really happen on the field but it makes sense that it would.

But Sherman did so much more than “you mad, bro?” Even more classic is his post-2014 NFC Championship game rant about covering Michael Crabtree. Near the end of the game, the 49ers attempted a pass to “sorry receiver” Crabtree that Sherman deflected that turned into an interception and the Seahawks would win the Super Bowl in the next game.

My favorite part about the end of the Sherman “interview” by FOX Sports reporter Erin Andrews is how at the end Sherman says, “LOB!” This basically cemented the Seahawks secondary status as one of the best of all time while making nationally known the moniker for it.

Sherman never stopped talking, though. Now he has turned his reputation for voicing his opinions while also being intelligent about what he is saying into a post-NFL career. Sherman will join Amazon’s Thursday Night Football program as a pregame, halftime and post-game voice. If you weren’t watching the NFL’s Thursday games before you must do so now.
