He’s still a part of thug culture. Like many supposedly “educated” he de-evolves into ghetto talk in the heat of the moment.
You have no idea what you are saying. He achieved a 4.2 GPA at Dominguez High of Compton, scored a 1,200 on his SAT and attended Stanford, where he earned a degree in communications with a GPA of 3.9. I do not see any de-evolving. All I see is achievement.
For a look has his sports column, go to MMQB at:

The column explains Sherman's side of the story. Read his other columns. He is a good columnist--and smart.
