I fully planned to lead this morning's Clicks with an overview of yesterday's championship games, but then Richard Sherman erupted in his postgame interview and the internet exploded. As luck would have it Sherman wrote a first person piece for SI about the entire incident . Also of note, Forbes has 22 thoughts on Sherman's postgame interview, while Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander expressed his disapproval in baseball terms (as did his girlfriend/friend/whatever they are/ Kate Upton). The target of Sherman's wrath, Niners receiver Michael Crabtree, thought he got the better of the matchup, while Bucs tight end Tom Crabtree enjoyed how everyone thought he was Michael Crabtree.

As For the Games

Peyton Manning and the Broncos thoroughly outplayed the Patriots, earning Denver a trip to the Super Bowl and giving Manning’s foundation nearly $25,000 for the quarterback's 44 pre-snap "Omaha" calls. The Broncos quarterback celebrated the victory with a postgame "Tebow." The game's biggest controversy was this hit on Pats cornerback Aqib Talib by Denver receiver Wes Welker, a play that Bill Belichick thought was deliberate (though it's worth pointing out that Welker and Belichick haven't always had the best relationship).

As for the Seahawks-Niners game, San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh is always good for at least one "I'm acting like a lunatic" GIF, and here it is. Seattle running back Marshawn Lynch scored another "beast mode" touchdown, which resulted in fans chucking Skittles into the end zone and receiver Golden Tate nearly catching one in his mouth. It will be a brutal offseason for San Francisco linebacker NaVorro Bowman, who not only has to deal with a tough loss but also will rehab a painful knee injury. On the plus side, he received a barrage of support from his fellow NFL players after the game. Lastly, expect to see a lot of Macklemore over the next couple weeks, with the Seahawks in the Super Bowl—and don't expect to hear much about Aaron Hernandez, with the Patriots eliminated. But at least Hernandez has a sandwich.

The Weekend's Other Big Event

WWE Diva Brie Bella held a bachelorette party, at which everyone wore fake beards in support of Bella's fiance, Daniel Bryan. Speaking of Bryan, he was pumped about the Seahawks' victory.

Lovely Lady Of The Day
