Seattle Seahawks corner Richard Sherman is not afraid to talk on camera.

After he tipped San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick's final pass in the end zone, which resulted in an interception, Sherman was the man of the hour.

The outspoken All-Pro was flagged for taunting 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree after the interception, but that wasn't enough for him.

Sherman decided to take advantage of his brief time in the spotlight by calling Crabtree out during an epic rant while being interviewed by FOX's Erin Andrews after the game, via cjzerovids:

Andrews was put in a tough spot on Sunday night, but she had no problem defending Sherman publicly on Monday. The reporter spoke to Newsday's Neil Best on the phone about Sherman:

We expect these guys to play like absolute animals and beasts for 60 minutes and then probably 90 seconds to two minutes later, [we expect] you're going to be composed. That's why this has blown up, because we don't see athletes really show pure emotions like that. [...] I was thinking, here we go, here's one other thing for the critics. My face when I was listening to him wasn't, 'I'm freaking out, or I'm scared, or I'm frightened.' It was, 'OK, I've got to ask a follow-up question, and it better be on point or I'm going to get crucified. [...] I wasn't nervous; I wasn't scared. I have met with him three to four times. I actually really like him . . . He is smarter than probably all of us put together and he just went nuts -- in a good way.

She's right. Right after the game, Sherman was still pretty hyped up about his play and the team's victory. In later interviews, Sherman was much calmer.

Andrews didn't mind how the interview went, so there's no hard feelings.

Crabtree later responded to what Sherman had to say on Twitter:

That was followed by these tweets from Sherman:

Andrews gave her reaction to the interview on Twitter:

Indianapolis Colts long snapper Matt Overton, who made the 2014 Pro Bowl, had some choice words for Sherman (Warning: Tweet contains NSFW language):

FOX 19's Jeremy Rauch is probably right:

Detroit Tigers ace Justin Verlander believes somebody would've sent Sherman a message if the corner played a different sport:
