Richard Sherman to join Skip Bayless, replace Shannon Sharpe on 'Undisputed'

[trharder]

if you don't think Sherm is smart, I question your own intelligence. He is very smart, and there are a million obvious bits of evidence to support it.

Then please list five. Other than theoretically graduating from Stanford, I can't name two.
If you watched that video from 10 years ago and thought, yeah, he's smart, then we will never agree.
If you watched any of his several melt downs on the sidelines, what was smart about that.
If you heard him threaten Jim Moore's career and then lie to the whole world that he even said what was on tape, then...
He is almost assuredly the one who threw the team under the bus with Sports Illustrated, showing not only is he a dumb
ass, he's a disloyal prick.

OK:
* salutatorian in high school with a 4.2 GPA
* voted "most likely to succeed" - which doesn't happen to somebody that people think is dumb.
* admitted to Stanford (acceptance rate of 4.3%)
* graduated from Stanford
* regularly writes articles
* was listed as one of the top 10 IQs in the NFL.
* known as a guy that breaks down film and has an elite understanding of the game.

All the negatives you list are valid, but they are not INTELLIGENCE based. He's brash, emotional, outspoken. You can like him or not, but doing things you don't like doesn't mean he isn't smart.

And of course, the smarter you are, the dumber you are

And here’s the upsetting punch line: intelligence seems to make things worse. The scientists gave the students four measures of “cognitive sophistication.” As they report in the paper, all four of the measures showed positive correlations, “indicating that more cognitively sophisticated participants showed larger bias blind spots.” This trend held for many of the specific biases, indicating that smarter people (at least as measured by S.A.T. scores) and those more likely to engage in deliberation were slightly more vulnerable to common mental mistakes. Education also isn’t a savior; as Kahneman and Shane Frederick first noted many years ago, more than fifty per cent of students at Harvard, Princeton, and M.I.T. gave the incorrect answer to the bat-and-ball question.

The bat and ball question

A bat and ball cost a dollar and ten cents. The bat costs a dollar more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?

This...

"When people face an uncertain situation, they don’t carefully evaluate the information or look up relevant statistics. Instead, their decisions depend on a long list of mental shortcuts, which often lead them to make foolish decisions. These shortcuts aren’t a faster way of doing the math; they’re a way of skipping the math altogether. Asked about the bat and the ball, we forget our arithmetic lessons and instead default to the answer that requires the least mental effort."

[Sibelius Hindemith]

This is the result of the leftist takeover of education and the de-emphasizing of mathematics and scientific reasoning in favor of ideology-based thinking.

Skip Bayless is a racist piece of shit.

That's all I have to add.

It seems the definition of "intelligence" is up for debate.

Sherman is an all time talent. One of the best to play a defensive position in an offensive-biased league. You don't achieve greatness, especially under those circumstances, without having high level intelligence. You can choose to set your 'bar' above him and call him dumb, but you sound more like a guy with an axe to grind, moral or ethical maybe, but not intelligence. One of the most feared players on arguably the greatest defense of this century. It's not luck. Your position that sherman is not intelligent simply doesnt match the evidence to the contrary. The best at what they do are not unintelligent. You may find an exception, but that exception will never be the rule.

The bat and ball question got me but I got this one right:

In a lake, there is a patch of lily pads. Every day, the patch doubles in size. If it takes 48 days for the patch to cover the entire lake, how long would it take for the patch to cover half of the lake?

the bat would cost $1.05 - and the real lesson here is they were obviously both mad in china at those costs.
