[[tmz:video id="0_wfmmlhht"]] TMZ Sports might've unearthed 1 of the biggest shockers in NFL friendship history ... 'cause Ricky Williams told us he and Mike Ditka will always be bros!!! You remember the trade ... Ditka gave up 8 Picks to draft Ricky to the Saints back in '99 -- but Nola bombed and Da Coach got canned. But Williams says he and Ditka -- differences aside -- are "homies for life" ... 'cause Mike's one of the few guys he can always turn to.

[[tmz:video id="0_r5ua2upn"]] Jaleel White's take on the Michael Crabtree vs. Aqib Talib chain-snatching fight might be the best take:  "If I had a chain on and you snatched it, I would f*ck you up terribly." White continued, "I would have to do that on Gp (general principle). I wouldn't even want to but because I knew my daughter would see the footage, I would have to do it." Of course, Crabtree subscribes to the same...

The hardest hit in the first quarter of Sunday's Broncos-Raiders game came during a brawl that started after Aqib Talib tore off Michael Crabtree's gold chain -- Again!!! -- at the end of a play. Talib and Crabtree went at it after the pull and several other players soon joined in on the scuffle. Both players were given unnecessary roughness penalties, before being ultimately ejected from the game. The Raiders' Gabe Jackson was also ejected for pushing an official.

[[tmz:video id="0_fvoceqxp"]] Lavar Arrington has a message for Michael Crabtree -- if you don't want people to snatch your chain on the field, don't wear it during games!! The former NFLer says Aqib Talib's decision to rip Crabtree's gold chain off during last Sunday's game was an "outright blatant move of disrespect," ... but says if jewelry is part of the uniform, it's M.C.'s own fault. Bottom line ... floss at your own risk. Read more...

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree treated 60 of his football campers to a cajun lunch ... and you know kids in Texas are different than most ... when they dine on fried alligator!Crabtree held his second youth football camp at Southern Methodist University’s Gerald Ford Stadium this week in Dallas ... and took a bunch of the campers out to Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen for a lunch that would not be recommended by the American Heart Association.

The entire Seattle Seahawks team has touched down in L.A. -- from Russell Wilson to Percy Harvin -- and while they're training their asses off ... one thing's for sure -- they're not saying A Word about Ricardo Lockette. The Super Bowl champs hit up The Yard training center in Hermosa Beach, CA -- where huge stars like Tom Brady, Wes Welker and even Aaron Hernandez have trained. One player who was noticeably absent from...

Erin Andrews didn't get to speak with Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman after his team crushed the Denver Broncos 43-8 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., on Sunday, Feb. 2. The Fox Sports broadcaster did, however, get a chance to speak with the athlete late last week. Andrews defended Sherman's post-game interview, which took the internet by storm after his team beat the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Jan. 19. As he shouted at Andrews (and then the camera), he also dissed 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree. "I'm the best corner in the game!" the NFL player yelled. "When you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree, that's the result you're going to get! Don't you ever...

The only thing more hilarious than Richard Sherman going off on Erin Andrews after the Seahawks won the Nfc Championship game, is the loud conversation being reenacted by Kermit and Miss Piggy.

Miss Piggy looks a little nervous! Kermit the Frog yells at his top pig in a new clip that has now gone viral, reenacting Richard Sherman. The corner for the Seattle Seahawks has now back pedaled on his rant, but we’ve got to say, seeing Miss Piggy as Erin Andrews getting really awkward, is so hilarious!

Kermit The Frog & Miss Piggy Reenact Richard Sherman Rant

In the beginning of the clip, Miss Piggy, using Erin’s voice, asks “Shermit” to take her through the final play, when he tipped off a throw from San Francisco’s quarterback Colin Kaepernick. It was intended for Michael Crabtree, but after he tipped the ball, it was intercepted in the end...

Drew Brees doesn’t understand the media frenzy surrounding Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman’s epic trash-talking rant earlier this month about San Francisco 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree after beating the team in the Nfc Championship. “I think they probably built that up a bit more than they needed to,” the New Orleans Saints quarterback told David Letterman during an interview (above) on Wednesday’s “Late Show.” Also read: NFL Star Tom Brady on Richard Sherman’s Epic Rant: He’s ‘That Kind of Guy,’ Says ‘We Win With Graciousness’ Letterman brought up the topic by taking a dig at...

For gay viewers, the Super Bowl can be like watching the Tony Awards during a so-so Broadway season. While the competition may not be all that entrancing, there’s still a chance to see something fabulous– like Carol Channing (who, bet you didn’t know, was the 1970 Super Bowl halftime show entertainer.)

While there’s entertainment to be had even if you don’t really follow football, you can have so much more fun this Sunday — and even maybe pass yourself off as a football fan– if you do just a little bit of research beforehand. I’m here to help!

Here’s the least you need to know to get the most out of this year’s Super Bowl…

"I'm the best corner in the game. When you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree, that's the result you're gonna get! Don't you ever talk about me!" It was the postgame rant heard round the country Sunday when victorious Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman went off in an interview with Fox's Erin Andrews. Seconds before, Sherman had tipped a pass intended for 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree, leading to an interception and the end of the Nfc Championship game. Days later, Sherman sat down with CNN's Rachel Nicholas for a full accounting, which you can watch below. After admitting he didn't regret much about it, he struck a conciliatory tone, saying, "I probably shouldn't have attacked another person." While he also called his interview "immature" and said he apologized to his teammates, Sherman lamented the way the media covered the story and explained that it's hard to turn the intensity switch on and off.

Richard Sherman admitted that his Nfc Championship epic postgame rant was “immature” during a CNN “Unguarded” interview with Rachel Nichols on Tuesday. “I probably shouldn’t have attacked another person,” the Seattle Seahawks cornerback told Nichols. ”That was immature and I probably shouldn’t have done that. I regret doing that.” Sherman shared some background on the rivalry between himself and the San Francisco 49ers Michael Crabtree, saying that the wide receiver was rude to him at a charity event last summer. “That’s the short version … we’re gonna keep it clean,” Sherman said.

After Sunday night, even the most casual football fans know Richard Sherman's name. The Seattle Seahawks cornerback was just moments removed from making the game-winning play in the Nfc Championship game, when sideline reporter Erin Andrews pulled him over for a brief interview. Most post-game Q&As are tepid, cliché-ridden affairs, but this was something else entirely. In the wake of the interview, Sherman's 20-second clip became a social-media flash point: Some called him a thug (or worse), some brought up Sherman's Stanford education as a shield, while more still pointed out that that was engaging in a shallow form of respectability politics.

After the Seattle Seahawks defeated the San Francisco 49ers in last night's Nfc Championship game, Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman delivered a fiery rant against 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree, as Fox Sports' unnerved-looking Erin Andrews stood by with her microphone. The outburst drew some heated, and seriously racist, reactions on social media, leading Sherman to defend himself on Sports Illustrated's Mmqb blog Monday morning.

Richard Sherman made the game-clinching play for the Seattle Seahawks in their Nfc Championship game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, and let the world know what he thought about 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree when sideline reporter Erin Andrews caught up with him after the game.

Richard Sherman's Post-Game Rant

Only a few minutes had past since Sherman had reached up and tipped an end zone pass from Colin Kaepernick, sealing the Seahawk’s Super Bowl berth, when Andrews called him in for a quick interview. When Andrews asked him to take her through that play, Sherman had something else to discuss – the intended receiver.

"I'm the best corner in the game!," Sherman yelled at the camera. "When you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree, that's the result you're going to get. Don't you ever talk about me. Don't you open your mouth about the best,...

Fox NFL sideline reporter Erin Andrews tried doing her job following Sunday’s Seattle Seahawks victory over the San Francisco 49ers — but that is easier said than done when your post-game interview subject is fired-up cornerback Richard Sherman. When Andrews asked Sherman to walk her through the final play of the game — in which his Seahawks defense came up with a game-ending interception of a Colin Kaepernick pass intended for wide receiver Michael Crabtree — the defensive back played a role more suitable for a WWE wrestler. “Well I’m the best corner in the game,” Sherman, who defended the throw,...

Sore winner? Richard Sherman went completely ballistic on Erin Andrews after winning the Nfc championship Sunday night, losing it when she interviewed him after the Seattle Seahawks-San Francisco 49ers game. Even though the win meant that the Seahawks cornerback is headed to the Super Bowl, he couldn't stop yelling about San Francisco wide receiver Michael Crabtree.  "I'm the best corner in the game!," Sherman yelled at Andrews (and then the camera). "When you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree, that's the result you're going to get. Don't you ever talk about me. Don't you open your mouth about the best, or I'll shut it for you real...

Michael Crabtree's ego has fully recovered from that huge blown call that cost him the Super Bowl -- because he now boldly predicts ... he is the Future Of The NFL!The funniest part is ... we weren't even talking about him when he said it.Here's the scene: the San Francisco 49ers wide receiver was leaving Boa Steakhouse with Dallas Cowboys stud receiver Dez Bryant last night -- and we asked the young stars about...

Sunday marked the greatest day in the American sports calendar. In this year’s marque game, the favoured San Francisco 49ers went up against the Baltimore Ravens in New Orleans.

Coming into the game there was multitude of sub-plots that threatened to overshadow the NFL season finale. With brothers Jim and John Harbaugh opposing coaches, the game was certainly a family affair, and win or lose this was to be the final game of the controversial but legendary Ravens linebacker, Ray Lewis.

The Ravens raced to a 7-3 first quarter lead courtesy of a Flacco touchdown throw to Anquan Boldin, and a redzone stop by the Ravens defence forcing a San Francisco field goal.

The second quarter saw the Ravens increase their lead to 21-6. Baltimore capitalised on two San Francisco turnovers including an interception by New Orleans native Ed Reed. Jacoby Jones finished off the first half with a spectacular 56yd touchdown catch,...

A little T&A never hurt nobody. If you envisioned Super Bowl Xlvii preparation for the San Francisco 49ers looking like an actual mock game, think again. Down in New Orleans boobs and booty was all that was on a couple of the guy’s mind last night; and with the pressure of pulling a W on Sunday, can you blame them?

TMZ caught a handful of the 49ers’ players heading into the notorious Penthouse Club on Bourbon Street. Frank Gore, Michael Crabtree and Patrick Willis creeped (although you can’t really creep when you’re football players with management and security) out of their hotels to go get some lap dances. Meanwhile inside the reported 150 strippers ran at the sound of the Player’s Club siren alerting them to “ballers in the house.” Time to make some money! As “Bandz A Make Her Dance” played the trio made it rain with their NFL money.

How do Sf 49ers superstars Frank Gore, Michael Crabtree and Patrick Willis stay relaxed before the Super Bowl? They hit up one of the Best Strip Clubs on Bourbon Street!!!TMZ has footage of the running back, wide receiver and linebacker hitting up the legendary Penthouse Club in the Big Easy last night ... a 3-level adult fantasy land. You can spot Frank by his green beanie -- that he was wearing earlier in the day...

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree was questioned by police as part of a sexual assault investigation, but he was not detained or arrested. Police said the alleged assault took place in a hotel room early last Sunday following the 49ers' playoff victory over the Green Bay Packers. Crabtree was interviewed with his attorney present and police say he has cooperated with the probe. A rep for the team released a statement, saying, "The...

The life story of Temple Grandin is one of hardship and triumph. Grandin was diagnosed with autism as a young child in the early 1950s, an era when her condition was not well understood. With help from her exceptionally patient mother and a few insightful teachers, Grandin overcame most of her autistic limitations. She struggled to get an education, but earned a doctorate and is now an autism treatment advocate, Colorado State University professor, and renowned expert in animal husbandry.

Such an inspirational and thoroughly unique story is, of course, tailor-made for a cinematic treatment. Fortunately, this treatment is Temple Grandin, a much-lauded HBO Films biopic nominated for an astounding 15 Emmy Awards. Released this week on DVD, the movie is an effective take on Grandin's long struggle with autism and the cruel treatment and blatant sexism that often hindered her education and career.

The film opens in 1966 as a teenage...
