The moment happened when Richard Sherman sent a note to the Seattle Seahawks on social media after signing with the Niners. In a gracious Instagram post, the athlete thanked his former teammates and the 12s for their support. Then-Patriots QB Tom Brady gave out some words of encouragement to the athlete.

However, as per BroBible, a random Niners enthusiast sneaked into the comment section to make a troll out of TB12. The user mentioned, “[Tom Brady] didn’t he intercept you a billion times.” But the NFL’s premier quarterback dunked him on as he clapped back with legitimate statistics in just 20 seconds. Brady replied, “just once.”

Richard Sherman muses the legendary Super Bowl photo with Tom Brady

The Super Bowl XLIX matchup was a crazy and bumpy ride for the Patriots and the Seahawks. It was the same time when Richard Sherman turned into a legendary meme. But there was an iconic moment when Sherman came to applaud Brady after he lowered his knees and absorbed the moment after the Patriots’ Super Bowl win. That image remains an iconic one to date.

Sherman reflects on that occasion in EP six of Brady’s ESPN docuseries, Man In The Arena. He mentioned“I have a tremendous amount of respect for the man, the player… It wasn’t like — you know, something crazy did happen, but it was like, they won it fair and square. So you shake the man’s hand and you walk away. And that’s what I did.” Even though Uncle Sherm is off to a new job, he and TB12 gave every NFL fan a moment to cherish forever.
