Speakin' Richard Sherman

It’s the beginning of football's off-season, and NFL (National Football League) players are flocking from all over the country to Barwis’s gym – to become better athletes, but also to become better people. This year, though, Barwis has a special case: the incendiary Super Bowl champion Richard Sherman. To try to get through Sherman's tough exterior, Barwis pairs him with a young NFL prospect struggling to achieve his dream of making the league. Will Sherman lead the young hopeful on the right path, or prove to Barwis and the world that he’s the self-centered prima donna many think him to be?

And that includes going one-on-one on the mats with Barwis himself. But when Rashad suffers an unrelated knee injury that knocks him out of the big fight with just days to go, can Barwis help him overcome adversity and get his competitive edge – and his life – back?

Meanwhile, Mozes, 275 pounds of pure American Barbarian, goes on an excruciating juice cleanse to lose weight before his honeymoon – inspiring Tank Dog to order every item from Mozes’s favorite Italian restaurant.
