Richard Sherman has an explanation for not talking to the media after Sunday’s game in San Diego.
As we wrote on Sunday, Sherman did not talk with the media following the Seahawks’ 30-21 loss to the Chargers. Although Sherman only gave up three catches, several Chargers said they felt like they “exposed” the Pro Bowl cornerback. He responded to those claims via Twitter later in the evening.
Now Sherman explains why he did not speak with the media.
Check out these tweets from Seattle Times reporter Bob Condotta:
Richard Sherman says didn't really intend to not talk to media. Says didn't get requests. Wanted to leave locker early. Says was available.

Says everybody interviewing other players.

I might buy that as an actual legitimate excuse for not speaking with reporters if it weren’t for the fact that Sherman LOVES attention. Had he played better or had his team won, you know he would have FOUND reporters.
Weak excuse from Richard. When you make yourself into the loudmouth figure that he has, you are held to higher standards and expectations. Sherman has asked for the spotlight and needs to handle all parts of it, including all the scrutiny.
Kiss my Converse!
