Few people on earth travel as often as professional athletes. With On the Road, the GQ Sports Travel Questionnaire, they weigh in on everything from room service to comfortable flying to their favorite chain restaurants.

These days, as a member of Thursday night football aired, Richard Sherman is a man with few needs. If you get Super Bowl Champion in a city with an indoor soccer stadium and a hotel room that comes with a balconyample sockets and a normal shower, it’s ready to go. If the town in question also has a particularly strong jerk chicken restaurant, it’s in pig heaven.

The man has done his fair share of traveling, both during his 11-year playing career and now as a talking head. Although he grew up in Southern California, the 36-year-old turned his back La La Land in favor of his adopted hometown of Seattle. When GQ connected with Sherman, he was in New Orleans taking advantage of all his favorite things — even if he still has some issues with the Superdome. He shared other stadiums that grinded his gears, why he stuck around Pacific Northwestand a fast food chain he just can’t give up.

When you travel for Thursday night footballhow much time do you actually have in each city? Are you able to explore at all?

We don’t have much time. Sick run away on the morning of the game and we go to dinner the night before. Usually: come in on Wednesday during the day, dinner, wake up, production meeting, practice, maybe lunch if you have a friend in town to meet, then go to the stadium. With the East Coast games, we don’t finish until 1:00 in the morning, so we go straight to the hotel for a few hours of sleep and then a 7:00 flight.

Have you gotten used to this lifestyle yet?

It’s a routine similar to the one I’ve been in. With sports, you familiarize yourself with your schedule and figure out what you need to do: how to pack, how to unpack, the game day routine. When I first started, I did a lot more of my normal game day routine that I did when I was playing. You get to the game and it’s like, I’m not playing. Why am I angry?

Are there any cities where you feel like the fans particularly hate you? Has anyone ever said crazy things to you on the street?

Not! I never got that, honestly. Our rival team would have been San Franciscobut those fans love me now! When you’re on the road and you’re not an opponent, people say, “Man, I’m a big fan! You were one of the best to ever play!” No one is ever really rude in person, at least not yet.

People say a lot of crap behind a screen. They won’t say the same thing in person, but they will say, “I used to hate you, but man, you’re the nicest guy!” Or, “You’re bigger than I thought!”

On a semi-real note, you developed a reputation as a villain when you were in the league. Psychologically, how did that affect you?

I don’t think it affected me at all because I never thought people knew me to begin with. People who didn’t know me were judging me by football games, and their opinions didn’t really matter in my book. For those who know me, sit with me, talk to me, if they don’t like me, they have to justify the reason. But there aren’t that many of these people that I know of.
