Every Wednesday, Brock & Salk on Seattle Sports 710 welcome former Seattle Seahawk K.J. Wright to the program for an hour, which usually includes conversations with current and former Seahawks. Richard Sherman joined the show this morning, and the interview went off the rails when Mike Salk asked the former All-Pro cornerback a question.
Salk asked Sherman what he learned about the differences between Seattle other locations — like San Francisco and Tampa, where Sherman played to close his career — before the interview got contentious.
“I remember when I exited here and I heard some words from you that were a lot different from what I heard when I was here,” Sherman said. “I’m gonna answer the questions from Brock and K.J. and we’ll just excuse the questions from you.”
Salk denied the accusation from Sherman, saying it simply isn’t true that the radio host talked differently about Sherman after he left the Seahawks.
“I don’t listen to your show, so, again, you’re excused from the interview,” Sherman reiterated.
“It doesn’t really work that way, Sherm,” responded Salk. “This is a show that has my name on it.”
“It kinda does, though,” continued Salk.
“The only reason I’m here is because of K.J., not you,” Sherman quipped. After Salk said he was willing to have the conversation about his past comments, the Amazon Prime Video analyst said “I don’t have that conversation for you”.
Brock Huard defended Salk to Sherman, by saying “Salky and I have had a brotherhood for 14 years. I understand, you guys can have beef, but you can ask K.J., who has spent 13 weeks with us, and I think he’d tell you ‘Rich, he’s pretty good’.”
After Sherman remarked he never would have appeared on the show if not for Wright, the interview wrapped up with Salk calling it an “uncomfortable moment” that he wasn’t expecting. He added that it was unfortunate that Sherman felt the way he did.
