In this Seahawks news update, Seattle Seahawks All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman gave a vivid portrait on Wednesday of the scorching-hot on-field conditions during the Seahawks' 30-21 loss to the San Diego Chargers in Southern California.
“There’s no saving you from it when it’s hot like that,’’ he said of the 120 degree-plus on-turf temperatures, via Larry Stone of the Seattle Times. “It’s emanating from the ground. It’s surrounding you. The heat is enveloping you. It’s hard to get away from. You’re dumping ice water, whatever else you can find, on you, and it wasn’t helping.”
With that out of the way, Sherman also addressed the murmurings from a certain group of Chargers receivers who claim to have "exposed" the shutdown defensive back.
I thought that was pretty hilarious,’’ he stated. “You know when a guy wants to get his name in the paper, he has to say something crazy.”
“It’s fun to me,’’ Sherman added. “It’s really funny. Especially when you have little guys like the Chargers guys talking about how they exposed something. They had 60 and 50 yards. I mean, Gates — Hall of Famer — had a fantastic game, and Philip had a great game, and the rest of the guys ... were there."
"But you see stuff like that, and it just makes you laugh.”
