No, it's not Mizzou related, but I thought this look into the mind of one of the greats was worth sharing. The anger and disrespect he thrives on seems like a dangerous line to approach off the field, but then football is a dangerous and violent sport. Also helps explain why some of these guys are such motor mouths and don't act like "they have been there before." Something we suffered through at Mizzou this past year or so...

One of the best quotes from the story:
“You have to realize that people are sheep — most people,” Sherman said a few years ago when asked about his plan. “There are wolves out there. There are sheepherders. But there are mostly sheep. Sheep will believe whatever is told to them. A lot of people don’t want to think for themselves. So if you give them controversy, they’ll indulge in the controversy. If you give them success, they’ll revel in the success.

“And I gave them both.”
