Richard Sherman: Cam Newton missing the playoffs is karma

[Ron Mexico]

Seattle Seahawks and Carolina Panthers is a rivalry replete with trash talk from both sides and this season, the award for first shot goes to cornerback Richard Sherman.

Sherman was asked on Wednesday if Cam Newton's run in with a Seahawks fans flag last season, following the Panthers playoff win over the Seahawks, crossed over the line of Newton's typical celebrations. Newton took away the fans flag and tossed it aside, as was customary for him last season with many opposing team's signage, when at home.

Sherman responded in the affirmative but gave it some extra Richard Sherman zest.

"Yeah, he probably did and I guess karma gets you," Sherman said. "It doesn't look like he's going to be in the playoffs this year."

Neither side is ever bashful about taking some fun digs at the other but this colorful jab has some interesting nuance to it, considering Sherman has defended Newton's celebrations in the past.

But, you don't mess with the 12's and expect a Seahawks player not to respond in kind.

all yall got was 3 lucky fluke wins over panthers so I don't know why u were surprised when panthers beat yall.(panthers were beating themselves mostly anyways with mistakes)

neither team is owning anyone if u really breakdown each game(most games are won by 7 points or less) except both playoff games....but even those were closer than the score show.

but Sherman is doing this to get high ratings....he is usually very fair to cam, to be a rival.

Which position on the Seahawks are you? Which number are you?

Karma is nothing more than a word people use to justify feeling good about bad things happening to people they don't like. It's the currency of the petty.

You got NFC confused with AFC, as in the AFC South.
