The star San Francisco cornerback made a prophet of a trash-
talking rival in the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory.

All mouth.

Retired NFL cornerback Darrelle Revis tried to diss the San
Francisco 49ers’ Richard Sherman in a Twitter trash talk war
before Sunday’s Super Bowl.

Revis wrote last month that Sherman hid in a zone defense and
struggled against receivers in one-on-one coverage. Sherman
snapped back by calling Revis a “has-been” and invited him to
enjoy the view from the couch.

But in the big game, it was Revis who got in the last word.
Sherman got burned by Chiefs receiver Sammy Watkins on a
critical 38-yard pass play to set up Kansas City’s go-ahead
touchdown for a 31-20 comeback victory.

Announcer Troy Aikman noted Sherman’s vulnerability on the play.
He said Sherman “one on one is just not going to run with”
Watkins.

Revis, a probable future Hall of Famer who won a previous Super
Bowl with the New England Patriots, wasn’t about to take the
high road with Sherman, another star who also has won a Super
Bowl. Revis submitted a burn notice instead.

Are y’all waiting for the flame ??? ??????

While not specifically answering Revis, Sherman tweeted, “I
wasn’t good enough tonight and I will fix that.”

Proud of this team! Wasn’t the result we wanted but we battled
through. I wasn’t good enough tonight and I will fix that. Thank
you for all the support all year.

"Shutdown corner". Yeah right. Slow, overpaid, looked
downright stupid against the Chiefs.
