Well, nobody knows more than Sherm, just ask him, he'll tell you. :lol:
Precisely what I'm saying. As I said, don't take my word for it -- take his. He is about as textbook a case of Narcissism IMO as it gets.
I'd like to play devil's advocate here. There are a few reasons why I would not consider Sherman a classic narcissist event though he is pretty sure of himself and likes to give his opinion on almost everything.
1. He never said he is the most important part of the team. It seems to me like he just talks down to people he despises, but doesn't set himself as better than everyone, besides at CB which he backed up.
2. He thrives when being doubted, while narcissists need constant approval, praise, and attention from others, as they have doubts about their own worth.
3. He does not manipulate people. At least I would not define what he does as manipulation. I would expect something greater and more thought through than just lying about an incident, especially if you consider his intelligence i.e. GPA.
Also it seems to me like you were a bit biased when reading the article. Sherman says that he allowed Seattle to match the offer (which imo he wouldn't if he just really wanted to pay them back for doubting him).
Besides that, it is close to his home, and he doesn't have to learn a new scheme.
Sherman said: “I’m vengeful in that way.”
That’s what it sounded like. But I wanted to make sure. I asked him to repeat that.
“Vengeful,” Sherman said. “I love the fan base to death, and I loved playing there. It was such a great opportunity. I helped the organization get to a great place and stay there. But now it’s like I abandoned them. People are out there burning my jersey. Come on. I’m not the one who let me go. They let me go. I didn’t abandon anybody.”
That's all he said, and I would be a bit vengefull too in that case.
