Richard Sherman may believe that San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree is mediocre. He may also believe that he is the greatest cornerback in the NFL. But he has learned that ranting about the former won’t help convince anyone of the latter.

You don’t have to put anybody else down to make yourself bigger.
