The audio from the mic Richard Sherman was wearing during Sunday’s NFC Championship has been released.
The Seahawks cornerback said earlier in the week that the audio might shed some light on the exchange between he and San Francisco 49ers player Michael Crabtree, prior to his passion-fueled postgame rant.
“I was actually mic’d up so everybody will see that I was going up to him and I actually said good game. That’s the funny part about that because most people will say, no he wasn’t really saying that. That’s why I love being mic’d up because I was mic’d up and I said, ‘Good game,’ put my hand out to shake his hand, and he pushed me in the face,” said Sherman.”
In the video and audio released by NFL Films, Sherman does put his hand out and say, “Hell of a game,” to Crabtree who then puts a hand to Sherman’s helmet and pushes him away. You can watch the whole exchange courtesy NFL Films.
