Richard Sherman Helps Make Word Game App, Mocks NFL In Skit

"Letters of Boom," a new word game app to which Seahawks CB Richard Sherman "has lent his brash persona," goes on sale today at the iTunes store. Sherman created the game with app makers Digital Kitchen. The app's premise is "addictively simple," like "'Scrabble' without the annoying wait for others to take their turn" (USA TODAY, 11/26).

Meanwhile, Sherman yesterday at his weekly media availability performed a skit "mocking the NFL for being 'hypocritical' in fining teammate Marshawn Lynch." The skit involved a cardboard cutout of Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin. Sherman used products he and Baldwin endorse to make the point the league last week fined Lynch $100,000 for "not talking to the media in the locker room" following a loss to the Chiefs while also "wanting them to talk as pitchmen for the league’s sponsors" (Tacoma NEWS TRIBUNE, 11/26).
