Did you really think Richard Sherman was going to let Darrelle Revis talk negatively about him without so much as a response? Of course not.
Sherman went on Twitter not long after Revis called him out during the NFC Championship Game on Sunday for playing zone coverage. Sherman played the “scoreboard” card, telling Revis to enjoy things from his “couch” while Sherman’s San Francisco 49ers prepare for the Super bowl.
I would go in on this has been but I have a Super Bowl to prepare for. Enjoy the view from the couch. Your ninth year looked a lot different than this. Lmao https://t.co/jj3pwWYhVa

The Stanford graduate then corrected Revis for mixing up “except” and “accept.”
And it’s “Accept”. Thought I would give you a lesson while I was here https://t.co/jj3pwWYhVa

When Revis responded with stats from his ninth season, Sherman hit back again.
I have to cover every game kid. I get my hands on the football in the playoffs something you will never know anything about. https://t.co/V6uFIvNQvT

Revis popping on Twitter just to criticize Sherman is a bad look. If he were an analyst who is frequently commenting on games and talking about different players, that would be one thing. But tweeting just to call out Sherman is a targeted effort by a guy who is looking to reinsert his name in the conversation and flex on his former foe.
