Former Seattle Seahawks star cornerback Richard Sherman explained at a press conference today why he decided to sign as a free agent with his team's longtime rival, the San Francisco 49ers.
"There's one thing that I've never done in the NFL and that is being on a really crappy losing team, the kind of team that can be in the Super Bowl one year and then before you know it they're 2-14. That's something that I believe I can experience by being with the 49ers. Since I'm so great that no one will ever throw the ball my way, I'll just sit back and watch the other teams throw touchdowns past whatever poor son of a bitch they line up on the opposite side of the field from me."
The 49ers have signed 38 other cornerbacks and plan to have to go through "two or three a game" according to 49ers general manager John Lynch, one of four general managers who were fired and replaced during an interview yesterday.
While stepping down from the podium after the press conference, Richard Sherman immediately sprained his Achilles tendon and he will be out for the season.
