Pete Carroll said he and Richard Sherman met for an hour Friday morning to discuss the cornerbacks sideline outburst during the Seattle Seahawks 24-3 win over the Los Angeles Rams.Sherman engaged in a shouting match with Carroll and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell after they called a pass play from the Rams 1-yard line. He had to be calmed down by teammates.I just spent an hour with him, and weve been through it, Carroll said on 710 ESPN Seattles Brock and Salk show. I love Richard. I just flat-out love the dude, and Ive been with him through so much and watched him grow and do so many unbelievable things. We made it through it. He knows that wasnt right. Hes just so fiery, and weve seen him before. Hell speak for himself on that. But I feel very good about where he is right now. Were going to be all right.It was too bad. It was a distraction to the game. And thats not the way its supposed to go.Carroll was asked later in the day if he viewed Shermans actions as insubordination.I think if we werent able to come back from that, I think so, he said. I think it would depend. It would depend on how the meeting went. The meeting went very well, and it was very clear.That doesnt mean that it was OK. That doesnt mean that it wasnt something that needed to be addressed. He was the only guy that was in my office this morning. So we went right after it. I was going to make my decision on how to move forward based on what happened and how we communicated. And I feel very good about it.After Thursdays game, Sherman referenced the Seahawks Super Bowl XLIX loss to the New England Patriots?in 2015 when Russell Wilson was intercepted on a pass from the 1-yard line.Im upset about us throwing from the 1, Sherman said. Id rather do what most teams would do, making a conscientious decision to run the ball.I was letting [Carroll] know. Weve already seen how that goes.Carroll said the Super Bowl loss is still on the mind of many coaches and players.Ive got a lot of games like that, Carroll said. That was the worst one. Ive got a lot of things that fuel me, and I dont mind holding on to some stuff because I need the edge and I need to be whatever it is that makes me. I dont mind.Ive made the choice to leave some things on the shelf that Im going to run into every once in a while. And its going to remind me of what I believe in and what I stand for and whats important to me, and I know that Sherm feels the same way. And a number of our guys do. But no, its not fresh. Its not something we talked about. But that just stirred up something, and it caught Sherm wrong and he went off. Jason Verrett Super Bowl Jersey . The mixed zone is not a place to make friends.

Scott Kazmir allowed four hits in seven shutout innings, Michael Brantley hit a two-run homer in a three-run first inning and the Indians maintained their hold on an AL wild-card spot with a 4-1 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday night. MINNEAPOLIS -- Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts were left for dead after a deflating home loss to the Houston Texans last week.Slicing and dicing one of the leagues best defenses on the road breathed some life right back into them.Luck threw for 250 yards and two touchdowns and the Colts rolled to a 34-6 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.Robert Turbin rushed for two touchdowns, Mike Adams forced a fumble and added an interception for the Colts (7-7).Frank Gore rushed for 101 yards and Indianapolis won on the road for the fourth time this season in surprisingly easy fashion over the leagues second-ranked defense.We understood where we were, that we needed to come out and win and thats our job as professionals, Luck said. Its a duty to each other and we managed to do that.Adrian Peterson had just 22 yards on six carries and lost a fumble in his first game back from a knee injury for the Vikings (7-7).The Vikings entered the game believing they needed to win the final three games of the season to make the playoffs. Sam Bradford threw for 291 yards with one interception and one lost fumble for Minnesota.After a critical home loss to Houston last week, the Colts entered the week trailing the Texans and Titans in the AFC South and facing a daunting road matchup against coach Mike Zimmers defense.The Vikings ranked second in the NFL in yards and points allowed and had made star quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers, Cam Newton, Eli Manning and Matthew Stafford look ordinary with their relentless, attacking scheme.But Luck completed 21 of 28 passes and was barely touched all afternoon, hitting Erik Swoope for a 27-yard touchdown in the second quarter that gave the Colts a 17-0 lead.The big play seemed to sap some of the Vikings spirit on defense, a rarity in Zimmers three seasons at the helm.They showed little fight on Turbins second TD run of the game, a pin-balling 6-yard score in which he bounced off two attempted tackles by Everson Griffen and ran through half-hearted attempts from Brian Robison and Captain Munnerlyn that made it 24-0 just before halftime.I want to find out who is going to fight, Zimmer said. That was not a fighting performance there. They were more physical than us today. They played with more tenacity than we did. Thats usuually not how it goes.dddddddddddd So well find out.Luck capped the day with an easy 50-yard strike to Phillip Dorsett.It was hard for us, Gore said of the Texans defeat. We know what we got. We put ourselves in a hole. We know when our backs are against the wall, we come back and just show that.PETERSONS RETURNThe Vikings star running back missed the previous 11 games while recovering from a torn meniscus in his right knee, but was able to return to the field one week sooner than he expected .His fumble in Colts territory in the second quarter came after his only decent run of the day, a 13-yard burst.Disappointment, especially with the fumble at a critical point, down 17 at that time, Peterson said. Entering into the red zone and to give up that fumble really killed the momentum. It was rough.GORES MILESTONESGore had 115 yards from scrimmage to give him 16,332 for his career, surpassing Tony Dorsett for 10th on the NFLs career list. He also passed John Riggins for 12th on the leagues career carries list.It was the 33-year-olds second 100-yard game of the season, and just the third time a Colts running back has topped 100 yards in Lucks 68 games.FIRST-HALF DOMINANCEThe Colts never gave the Vikings a chance to get into this one, thoroughly dominating the first two quarters. They outgained Minnesota 281-69, had 21 first downs to the Vikings two and held the ball for 23 minutes and 32 seconds to take a 27-0 lead at the half.INJURIESColts: LB Chris Carter left the game in the first half with a shoulder injury and did not return.Vikings: WR Adam Thielen left the game with a neck injury after a big hit from Darius Butler. ...
