His "girlfriend"? Has he been taking lessons from Cromartie?

Here's a preview:

Please let her go into labor at about midnight the day of the game, LOL!

no that would give him enough time to make it for the game. i hope it's 1 hr before the game.

 

[SammyBlueCat]

Please let her and the baby be healthy YET create a lot of drama this weekend.

If the reports from E!SPN are to be believed (yeah, I know...), he might be doing them a favor by skipping for his child's birth. Sounds like he'll be one armed again. I just hope Brady actually tries to take advantage of it, or at least test it.

Congratulations to Mr. Sherman and co.

No, he'd surely choose the game instead. After all, it's only his "girlfriend." It needs to be in the wee hours of the morning, say 3 a.m., and a labor of about five hours.

 

[SammyBlueCat]

Like I said hopefully his lady and the baby are in good health but it sure would be good if their timing is impeccable and they deny Richard some sleep.

 

[KDPPatsfan85]

Wishing for a safe delivery and healthy baby. I hope it makes Sherman get no sleep. This is def a distraction for him that no one is really talking about!

 

[AQPE]

Best wishes to them, hope he is better at teaching manners than he is at employing them. Can't help but think, however, about all the garbage Brady got about being an unmarried parent. Somehow I don't see that kind of reaction for **** Sherman #doublestandard

 

[Deus Irae]

I hope the baby is healthy and the couple is happy. Best wishes to all three.

I hope the baby is born healthy and mom does well in recovery... With that being said, I hope he is handed a loss on Sunday as well as his son being born and having that day as his birthday........ and every time he looks at his son, he will be reminded that Tom Brady is HIS Daddy! (devil horns)

 

[PatsDeb]

Nah, then they wouldn't disturb him as she's unlikely to have the baby before the game is over. We need her to time it just right; a nice long labor with no sleep the night before and then a new screaming baby for a few hours before he has to leave for the game!

Children out of wedlock doesn't have the stigma it used to have. Just ask Tom Brady. For all of Sherman's smack talk, I have a lot of respect for the guy. I wish him and his family the best.

Brady's first child was unplanned (at least by him) and their relationship had ended before he even knew she was pregnant. Sherman's play on the field certainly deserves respect; beyond that, not much else.

Children born out of wedlock isn't about "stigma," it's about what is best for the child and the mother in all respects. For the father, it's about genuine responsibility (and not just financial). I wonder if Sherman plans to marry this woman or if she'll just remain his "girlfriend" ... for a while.

My first was due on Tuesday. He was estimated at 8lb 15oz earlier this week and my wife is a size 0-1. Still waiting.

I disagree. Plenty of players had kids of of wedlock, some examples include Michael Vick, Ray Lewis, Terrell Owens-- add the next baby daddy, but nobody cared until Tom Brady did it. Apparently, the media and mad grannies who were hoping he'd marry their grand babies, holds him to a higher standard.
