If folks haven't read this, I strongly recommend it. I really don't think that Sherman damaged his reputation in any way. I mean, Ray Lewis probably participated in a murder & cover up and he's not having any trouble getting TV time after his retirement. A little public trash talk? Meh. Sherman's brother says that after Crabtree tried to pick a fight with him at a charity event last summer (real thuggish behavior), Sherman told his brother that he was going to "make a big play against him" on the field and embarrass him in public. It took seven months but he followed through.
