During Super Bowl LIV interviews, comedian Craig Gass took the time to beg former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman to leave the San Francisco 49ers and return to the Emerald City.
“I know I messed up. I still care about you,” he told Sherman. “I know I made some mistakes. And if you just give me a chance, you think about coming back, I promise, I’ll treat you right.”
Sherman was one of the most beloved players during the Seahawks’ run throughout the early 2010s, so it would make sense to feel discontent at the mere concept of former fan favorites succeeding with another team, let alone a division rival.
Sherman responded to the apparent Seahawks fan’s plea by saying he appreciated the gesture but loves his current situation in the Bay Area.
I loved reading the words, “According to Reddit, it was comedian Craig Gass” without seeing a horrifying accusation attached to it (thank you to Rich from @98KUPD for the heads up)…https://t.co/FRowjOpFXP

“I really appreciate that and I’m so thankful,” Sherman said. “It had its ups and its downs, but right now the relationship I’m in I’m so happy. I’m so thankful for the people I have with me. They came to me in a time when I was really down and out, and they didn’t give up on me. There’s something about that you can just appreciate genuinely.”
Scores of 12s miss Sherman for his stellar play and personality, but his focus is on winning another Super Bowl championship while he still has the opportunity. Super Bowl LIV will kick off on Sunday, Feb. 2 at 3:30 p.m. PT.
