Seahawks star Richard Sherman said in the days leading up to the Super Bowl he would consider bailing on the big game if his girlfriend, Ashley Moss, went into labor with the couple's first child, but had faith in avoiding perhaps the biggest paternity controversy in sports history.
"I think he's going to be a disciplined young man and stay in there until after the game," Sherman said. "He's going to do his father his first favor and stay in there for another week or two."
It was more like four days:
The outspoken cornerback, who wears uniform No. 25, saw extra significance in his first-born's birthday. Moss had been prepared for the possibility of a Feb. 1 birth, if she had gone into labor in Arizona.

"I guess we'll have a Super Bowl baby,'' Moss told King 5, the NBC TV affiliate in Seattle, "and if you see Richard heading for the locker room right after it hits 0:00 in the fourth quarter, don't be surprised.''
Instead, a gracious Sherman hung around after the final whistle to offer congratulations to onetime taunting target Tom Brady and coach Bill Belichick of the Patriots.
Chancellor played Super Bowl with torn-up knee
Seahawks strong safety Kam Chancellor played in the Super Bowl with a torn medial collateral ligament in his left knee, according to the team's website.
In a story on Seahawks.com posted Wednesday, Chancellor said two days before the loss to New England he was told he wasn't going to play. Chancellor collided knees with a teammate in practice the Friday before the game and suffered a deep bone bruise. During the examination, the torn MCL was revealed, Chancellor said in the story.
"There are some people that get injured and can't even play this game, can't even play a game. So you've got to be grateful for how you're feeling at the moment," Chancellor said. "Shoot, my injury happened two days before the game and they told me I wasn't going to be able to play. They told me, torn MCL and bone bruise.' I was mad. I was frustrated. But at the end of the day, I was able to play."
Seattle coach Pete Carroll said it was a "superhuman thing" for Chancellor to play.
"He may have had an earlier injury from years past, which he did wear a brace at times earlier in his career," Carroll said. "That may indicate why he was able to come back so fast, maybe some of the damage was from before."
Chancellor had 10 tackles and was in for every defensive play of the game despite the injury.
