When Richard Sherman announced on Tuesday that he and his girlfriend Ashley Moss were expecting their first child within a week, the initial instinct from all circles obviously was congratulations and well wishes.
However, after those subsided, a very important follow-up question remained: what if the baby comes on Super Bowl Sunday?
Richard Sherman Says He Is About To Be Father
When asked about that potential scenario at his Thursday media appearance, the Seahawks corner played coy with his thought process.
“He’s not supposed to come Sunday,” Sherman said, via the Seattle Times. “Obviously that’d change some things. But I think he’s going to be a disciplined young man and stay in there until after the game.
“He’s gonna do his father his first favor and stay in there for another week or two, but I’ve thought about the possibility of him coming during the game and coming before the game and we have things in place in case that happens. And, you know, we’ll cross that bridge when we get there."

"He's very locked in; football comes first," said Moss herself, to western Washington's NBC affiliate King5. "[But] if you see Richard heading for the locker room right after it hits zero in the fourth quarter, don't be surprised."
