Richard Sherman, the star cornerback for the Seattle Seahawks, is one of the the premiere trash talkers in the National Football League. Which gives a little extra peg to NBC 4's Super Bowl story on Sherman growing up in the LA area, the son of a city of Los Angeles sanitation department trash collector. Kevin Sherman is nearing retirement and talks about raising his son to go to Stanford and play football.
From the story:
Day after day at the break of dawn, Kevin Sherman is on a mission to keep the streets of LA clean and provide for his family….
Despite losing an eye in a teenage go-karting accident, he taught his kids to never quit, which is why the father of the star athlete is still hard at work and two years shy of retiring and earning a pension."My son is an NFL player, but I don't want my son taking care of me the rest of my life," he said.
