In 2012, the San Francisco 49ers were Super Bowl contenders, and cornerback Richard Sherman played for their division rivals, the Seattle Seahawks.
Eight years later, Sherman is on the 49ers, though he's still recovering from a calf injury and won't be available to play against the New England Patriots this Sunday. No matter: Any time his team takes on the Pats is a worthy excuse to revisit an unparalleled rivalry/meme saga featuring one Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr., which is apparently his full name.
On Oct. 14, 2012, the Patriots came to CenturyLink Field to face off against the upstart Seahawks, led by an unproven rookie quarterback named Russell Wilson, who had an impressive defense in his corner.
