Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman is not a fan of Thursday Night Football games.

“It’s not even a rough week, it’s just an absolute poopfest,” Sherman said. “I didn’t want to say, didn’t want to curse, I know mom is listening.”

It’s no secret that Sherman isn’t a fan of a number of things the NFL does these days, and he’s certainly not hesitant to share those feelings during his weekly press conferences.

Today, he battled the fatigue and short week brought on by the Thursday Night Football schedule.

“It’s terrible,” he continued. “We played. We got home at like one o’clock in the morning, something like that, on Monday, then you’ve got to play again. Congratulations, NFL, you did it again.

But they’ve been doing it all season, so I guess we’re the last ones to get the middle finger.”

Sherman explained that you can’t speed up the recovery process to your body despite the shortened schedule. He estimated he feels only 50 to 60 percent on a typical Thursday.

“You just have to deal with it,” he said. “It’s just one of those things, part of your job.”

So, regardless of what Sherman or any other NFL player has to say about it, the game must go on. The 8-4-1 Seahawks face the 4-9 Los Angeles Rams this Thursday night at CenturyLink Field.
