26. Report: Crabtree tried to fight Richard Sherman at charity event

While Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman's postgame rant Sunday night in which
he called 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree a "sorry receiver" was awfully entertaining, he also
mentioned that Crabtree might have talked badly about him at some point.

Aside from Crabtree's refusal to confirm in the previous week that Sherman was the best
cornerback in the league and aside from perhaps some on-field trash talking, it was hard to
know exactly why the Seahawks cornerback felt so slighted.

The Seattle Times sheds light on an incident from last offseason in which Crabtree reportedly
tried to start a fight while the two were at a charity event hosted by Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald.

"While there, Sherman went to shake Crabtree's hand, and Crabtree tried to start a fight,
according to Sherman's older brother, Branton," writes Jerry Brewer of the Times. "'I'm going to
make a play and embarrass him,' Richard Sherman vowed that day."
