Remember that Richard Sherman postgame interview with Erin Andrews following the NFC Championship Game? How could you not? In case you need a reminder, check out the above video. Well, if you're anything like us, you probably wish FOX let Sherman rant for a little while longer, instead of cutting to the other Seahawks players and eventually cutting the interview altogether.

Now, with the interview a couple days old, FOX producer Richie Zyontz revealed why they decided to cut the interview short: 

Fox producer Richie Zyontz on cutting off @ErinAndrews interview with @RSherman_25 Sunday: "It started getting a little dangerous for us."

While it's likely that Zyontz is talking about the fact that Sherman could've dropped an F-bomb at any moment, the use of the word "dangerous" is pretty interesting. Especially since there has been talk about how Andrews felt as the Seahawks cornerback got into his rant. Did they believe Erin was in danger? Maybe he should've used a different word? So many questions, so few answers.
