Richard Sherman and Patrick Peterson have taken verbal shots at each other on Twitter, but it is all in good fun.

"It's all fun," Sherman said Monday on 710 ESPN Seattle. "We're just trying to see who's the most clever. We're friends. We've known each other since the [NFL] combine [in 2011]. We've worked out together and he's a great dude."

 

Sherman's situation with Michael Crabtree is far more real.

"Much, much different," Sherman said.

Sherman was asked Monday whether he would have handled the postgame interview differently had Crabtree shaken his hand.

"That's probably true," Sherman said. "The animosity would still be there, but I probably wouldn't have gone off on him like that. But he didn't [shake my hand]."
