I had a thought the other day, Richard Sherman's whole "You Mad Bro?" brand basically started with Tom Brady, prior to that no one outside of Seattle really knew who Richard Sherman was (or cared). We all know the results of XLIX, and outside of the Hawks screwing up that last play (and Patriots executing very well). Tom Brady did drive up for his team's game winning drive and put up 28 points (last I checked the Hawks have a very poor record when the opponent scores over 24 points). Anyway, My thought is "You Mad Bro" = dead brand now. Anyone else feel the same?

The Zags aren't a good team. They have played one ranked opponent this season and they lost.

I'm okay with that. They are in a garbage conference and every time they've been given a #1 or #2 seed they've been eliminated in the second round. One thing though is for damn sure, the Zags are still a crapload better baskebtall team than the Huskies, Ducks, and Cougs.

So how is it still alive anymore?
The whole You Mad thing was aimed directly at Tom Brady with Richard Sherman (and the LOB) getting the better of him that day.
Tom Brady maybe didn't own Sherman, but basically owned the LOB and just won the SB over the Hawks. I don't think he's mad. Heck if anything ...WE MAD.
So that's my thoughts over it.

Because something starts somewhere doesn't mean it ends there. It's become it's own entity. It's more about Sherman than it is about Brady.

It's just too bad that the guy that tweeted the "U Mad Bro" meme to Richard, who re-tweeted it, didn't get any of the glory or money that came from his action. Maybe he did, but most likely he and the folks that came up with the LOB just get to know it was their idea that other folks trademarked and made big money on.
I really think most fans nation-wide thought Sherman after the game took the AP picture and put the caption in himself, adding to the lore.

I think the thing is...it's not like the phrase "U Mad Bro" even started with this. It's been around the video gaming community for years.
Kind of like the word SWAG although different meaning, SWAG has been around from concerts and conventions like years and years before it even suddenly became the terrible word it is today.

Do most casual NFL fans even remember the Tom Brady meme? Probably not. I doubt they're even connecting the old meme with the SB enough to kill the brand.

People ask me why I'm here. I can agree to the above. There really isn't much debate there. Kind of one person who's among the "circle" says something, and then the rest respond "Yeah!!!..what he said". I go on a forum for discussion. Admittedly discussion here will often go against my thoughts, but it is more interesting.

When Tom lose to Sherman, he tried to bail on the post game meeting.
When Sherman lost to Tom, he came and congratulated Tom.
Seems to me the consistency is clear.

It's as dead as the "mediocre" meme/brand. Both were vehicles Sherman used to promote himself and get his name out there. You've noticed Sherman hasn't been at all like that this past year. He's gotten the national recognition, the big contract, the consensus that he's the number one corner in the league. He doesn't need it anymore, and so he doesn't have to go out of his way to stir up controversy and get people talking about him anymore.

My question is how do you just ignore that chancellor was playing with a torn mcl and clearly was a step or two slow all day.. et was playing with an injured shoulder that required surgery.. and sherman was playing with a torn ligament in his elbow.. oh then add lane breaking his arm on the 1st drive.. the only healthy member of the secondary was maxwell...
Simon was primarily targeted in most big plays and key situations where we should have had stops.. but more than that it should be attributed to our injured d line.. the secondary still played well.. but missing mebane.. hill and then avril.. did you notice on the final td drive brady stepped up.. all the way up.. pretty much ran to the los and nailed edelman on a slant for a 1st on 3rd and really long.. and did the same later on for the td..
So how exactly do you claim that brady got the better of sherman and killed his brand?
Beyond that.. coaching is really the ones to blame.. fell back into more of a prevent defense.. just like vs atlanta in 2012.. playing scared as evidenced of trying to run the clock all the way out instead of just punching the ball in cuz they didnt want ne to get the ball back.. not adjusting the coverage to help simon.. and more than anything.. we stopped stunting up the middle to attack brady like we were in the 1st half..

I don't think running the clock is being scared, it's being smart and not giving the opponent a chance to come back.
