His girlfriend, Ashley Moss, is pregnant with the couple’s first child, a son, and Sherman has left open the possibility he would consider missing the game if she were to delivers the baby on game day.

Well, what would you do? I would gain respect for him if he did leave. You can't miss the birth of a child if you can at all prevent it.

If the doctor said it was medically safe, I would have induced birth last weekend.

That is an incredibly though spot. I would not fault him regardless of his decision, though I know many will no matter what he does.

Hopefully everything works out and she delivers Monday after he and his mates celebrate their victory Sunday.

I'm pretty sure that's the girlfriend's decision.

Neat story - I've been hearing about it. I think it's pretty close to a 0% chance he would miss the game. She's also been interviewed saying she wants him to play and that she's not going to let him know until after the game if she does in fact go into labor during the game.

Know this.... What a pregnant woman says and what will happen are two totally different things. She only says she wants him to play because she is testing his resolve to be there. She doesn't actually want him to miss the birth because of a football game.

That is hilarious, and sadly likely true.

Where will the cameras be?

 

That is where you will find Richard Sherman

She's his GF and not wife. She's going to say AND do the right thing to change that.

Edit : lifetime financial security is most important thing here.

That's a fairly cynical view, but with 3 kids myself she is likely at least saying it and secretly hoping he attends rather than plays.

She is having his kid.

That's a forgone conclusion.

I don't think Sherman is like that. Stanford educated, seems like a really bright guy. I'd be shocked if he were a deadbeat dad.
