DeAngelo Hall became so irate with Sherman, he even went so far as to try and include the best receivers in the game into the discussion:
I can’t lie @RSherman_25 the world wants to see you lock up with guys like @Bigplaycj @DezBryant @ajgreen_18 all game long. I do too!!!!!!
— DeAngelo Hall (@DeAngeloHall23) March 13, 2014
This is not the first Twitter feud Sherman has been involved with as of late either. Richard also took exception with Patriots free agent running back LeGarrette Blount over his tweet made about former teammate Aqib Talib being the best cornerback in the league. Blount posted an innocent enough tweet following Talib signing with the Denver Broncos:
CONGRATS TO MY BROTHER LIB! YOU DESERVE IT BIG BRO! THE BEST CORNER IN THE LEAGUE AND ITS TIME YOU GOT PAID LIKE IT!! pic.twitter.com/cem22QtKJ2
— LeGarrette Blount (@LG_Blount) March 12, 2014
To which Richard Sherman took exception and replied back. Blount then retaliated:
@RSherman_25 He’s the best bruh. I’ve seen what he does to WR/TE in person and I’m sure you have too. Friendship aside he’s the best…
— LeGarrette Blount (@LG_Blount) March 12, 2014
@RSherman_25 that one you lock down isn’t always the best receiver on the team though… Follow the best receiver every game and do it…
— LeGarrette Blount (@LG_Blount) March 13, 2014
@RSherman_25 in my opinion he the best bruh sorry… Can’t change my mind…

Richard Sherman has been a lightning rod for controversy ever since his post game interview following the Seahawks last second victory over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship where he called out his opponent Michael Crabtree after the game. Sherman tipped a pass to Crabtree late in the 4th quarter that allowed the Seahawks to secure the victory that propelled them to the Super Bowl.
However many believed Richard took it too far, insulting Crabtree while proclaiming himself the best cornerback in the league. Hall-of-Famer Warren Sapp, who was among many who did not approve of Sherman’s antics, called Sherman out during Super Bowl week. And from the way DeAngelo Hall’s Twitter lit up last night, it seems that Richard Sherman has yet to learn his lesson.
