He asked me to proof read his essay before he turns it in. It was a 5 page essay. This dude, good guy, had about a 2nd grade education level. The entire 5 page, he didn't use one punctuation....not a single one. It was a 5 page run on sentence. He was eligible to play every year lol! The one thing that's kind of a pattern...many serial killers had very high IQ's! That’s only because all the others get caught before the serial part is added.

And he’s like, “Ah, uh, Crabtree!” Don’t you ever try me with no sorry receiver like Crabtree! Don’t you ever try me with no bail on mah crimes! 1

But then again, I took a freshman writing/literature class and I was horrified by how many of my fellow non-athlete classmates couldn't form a single coherent thought in their writing. It was shocking. Multiple 18 year olds who couldn't write as well as my 7 year old son. Edited July 14, 2021 by TheBrownBear 1 1

Intelligence testing itself isn't a settled science, so it's a bit dangerous to draw conclusions. I think it's safer to suggest that there's a correlation between criminality and economic environment. AKA survivalism. I'm not really scared of controversy. We dance around so many topics in this world. Another big lie is the link of crime and poverty. Total nonsense. Edited July 14, 2021 by soflabillsfan1 1 1 1

I think I was more referencing the really weirdos like Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacey and Ted Bundy....real psychos.

Walked all the way to the house and tried to break in an hour later. The cops came and sicced a police dog on him to take him down when he resisted arrested. Presumably he also tried to kidnap Mike Tyson's tiger somewhere along the way. 3

I know it sounds racist but the optics to me are hard to shake. Compound that with the fact that he is in the NFL....pressures abound and what not and it seem like quite a few players make some of the damndest decisions known. I have never thought he came across as a "thug". I don't know where you are getting that from. He is a polarizing player, for sure, but he has always appeared to be very intelligent and calculated. Seems like he messed up, though. 2 1

Children who develop in a poor socioeconomic status, statistically speaking, have much poorer outcomes than children raised in high socioeconomic status.

That’s a great question, I suppose I would, but I don’t know if that’s technically correct. Personally, I think they are all demented. Society tends to glamorize the gang/mob world, and it creates more sympathy towards those figures. I think we also view it differently, because we don’t see their “victims” as being true victims. We see the victims as having guilt, and don’t have the same sympathy we do for others. Tony Soprano was a demented character, but the show portrayed him as human in a way we could all identify, while others are portrayed as sub human. We’re all human at the end of the day, but evil is evil. 2
TroutDog Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 As per usual, knee-jerk reactions rule the day (see Oliver and the beer can between his legs). Do people never learn? I know this much: racism is alive and well as evidenced in this thread. Shameful. 1
starrymessenger Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) I’ve been annoyed with Sherman’s antics at times, especially on field post game interviews, but I attribute this to the level players have to psyche themselves up in an ultra competitive environment. He’s no Ali or Berra but he does have some great quotes. My fav? Asking a scowling Tom Brady after a Super Bowl loss “You mad bro?” Classic, lol. Hope this isn’t too serious.

Please don’t take my question wrongly, I’m just genuinely curious. I see Sherman’s intelligence mentioned a lot. What about him struck you as being intelligent ? I just never saw it.
