Small Talk (Why Richard Sherman just needs to Shut Up and Play)

"Did somebody else say something about me?

Dave Barry, the Pulitzer Prize winning author once said, “You can only be young once. But you can always be immature.” Then Muhammad Iqbal, the British Indian poet and philosopher, gave it to us like this, “People who have no hold over their process of thinking are likely to be ruined by liberty of thought. If thought is immature, liberty of thought becomes a method of converting men into animals.”

Ole boy must have been talking about Richard Sherman playboy because his liberty of thought is freakin’ outta control. I’ve never seen a player that is as good as he is that always feels the need to defend his ability to play the game to cats that don't matter. At some point bruh you gotta just shut up and play.

Earlier this offseason Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall told a radio audience somewhere that he liked Sherman’s game to a point. But he wasn’t afraid to knock ole boy either. So on Thursday DeAngelo tweeted, “ I can’t lie @RSherman_25 the world wants to see you lock up with guys like @Bigplayj @DezBryant @ajgreen_18 all game long. I do too!!!!”

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! Anybody that grew up in the ghetto already knows that DeAngelo is trying to flush this dun out. For all of you suburban grown cats that means that he’s just trying to get under his skin and make him run out into the street. Like clockwork Sherm bit and completely exposed himself like an immature baby. That liberty of thought that ole boy was talking about earlier simply took over.

Sherm responded with:

Then DeAngelo fires back with:

Listen up young fella, when you’re the freakin' man you don’t have to respond bruh! You just won the Super Bowl there’s nothing else to say. Duns like DeAngelo are just playing with your emotions because they know that they can. And on some real talk, there's some hater in his blood too. How do I know that? Because why does he even have Sherm's name in his mouth in March bruh? He's supposed to be kickin' it somewhere in the tropics recharging his batteries or grindin' to get better or both. He shouldn't have time to be worrying about some dun that's winning.

So look here baby boy, don't fall for the Oakey Doke and let duns like that get you out in the street.

Now don't get it twisted, I'm all for a boy choppin' it up on the field and talking crazy during the game because that's called gamesmanship. But to be squabbin' with a boy in the offseason is a waste of time. You gotta be able to see the forest when you're lookin' at the trees bruh! Keep ya eyes on the road before you crash the Bentley into the freakin' guardrail trying to look a boy that isn't even your lane anymore.

You can't be that good and that sensitive at the same time. It's an oxymoron! You gotta be in control, not your feelings. Walter Payton once said, “When you’re good at something, you’ll tell everyone. When you’re great at something, they’ll tell you.” Stay in the grind, sit in the cut and start letting boyz tell you what's up. If they aren't telling you yet, then you aren't great yet but you're well on your way.

So just shut up, keep grindin’ and ballin' out! Once you get to the point of greatness and your maturity follows duns like DeAngelo won’t look to flush you out because they’ll look stupid trying to. Why? Because you’re beyond wrestling with some cat that hasn’t been able to win at the same level as you. #RespectYoungFella! Stop me when I start lyin’!

Holla At Ya Boy!
