Precisely. Like most public apologies, that's exactly what it looks like. What he sits down and types up for a blog (and probably has input from others) or an interview he's prepped for with his PR team doesn't show you what kind of man he is...the way he reacts in the heat of battle does. Based on that with MANY examples over the past couple of years, he's an instigating headcase comes off as a thug on the field.
It's no surprise that multiple players have basically said "get out of my face" in one way or the other. He tracks players down to taunt, trash talk and as I said, instigate after plays and after games.
Whether it's Crabtree, Steve Smith, Trent Williams or anyone else, there's a definite pattern of behavior going on with Sherman.
