I very vividly remember watching this beef erupt. So much happened so quickly that if you'd gone to the bathroom just before the snap (why the hell would you do that, Steve?) it would've been a tricky thing to explain. It was a play that very easily could have been an episode of Rewinder, but what immediately followed forced this story into a beef-shaped box.

But since it burst on the scene in such a major way - incredible play, massive stage, explosive interviews - the expectations for it ran wild. The tricky thing though is beef can be a very personal thing, and therefore it can be misunderstood by those looking in from the outside. We have a good feel for this relationship, but there will (likely) always be some key details that Richard Sherman and Michael Crabtree never share with us. That's ok. Still tastes real good.
