Before The Rant, there was The Tip. Richard Sherman's game-saving swataway from Michael Crabtree in the NFC championship game wrapped up Seattle's trip to the Super Bowl and came only moments before his rant in a postgame interview with Erin Andrews that drew more attention that his play on the field. With the Seahawks protecting a six-point lead with 32 seconds left and the Niners on their 18, Sherman got his bearings, left his feet, arched his left hand up and not only swatted Colin Kaepernick's pass away from Crabtree, but directed it to teammate Malcolm Smith, who is officially credited with the interception that sealed the game. Sunday, Jan. 19, 2014.
