The games are an escape from The Game. A way for Sherman to get lost in something, anything other than the hoopla that surrounds him.
This is the world that Sherman has chosen. Where he's gone from being largely overlooked coming out of Stanford,Nike Air Max 2018 Womens, to being one of the most polarizing figures in the NFL. There isn't much of a middle ground with Sherman. He is either loved for a style that borders on cockiness,Nike Air Max 1 Ultra Flyknit Womens, or he is despised for the same reason.
"I really put time in it, I focus on it. I cut my phone off. Nobody comes and bothers me when I play my games," Sherman said. "It allows you to clear your head for a while, and when it's time to get back to work it's time to get back to work."
"It gets to be a bit much when you lose your personal time."

When Richard Sherman could go unrecognized in public. When his dreadlocks might bring a curious glance and be forgotten just as quickly. When he was still mostly overlooked, the same way he ended up being bypassed in the NFL draft until the fifth round.
So there are times when Sherman must escape what he's created. Often it's as simple as locking himself in a room and playing video games for a few hours,Air Max 97, or hanging out with his girlfriend and watching a movie.
