This what? If you'd asked me doe a year ago if i'd intended to break off my wedding engagement, I would have said no, absolutely not.. if you'd asked me a month before said engagement was broken, I'd still have said no, absolutley not. But there are two sides. Two intentions. And if a bridge can't be built to mend ties, it doesn't matter what one party intends or not. Eventually, not intending to, will become ' ok, let's do it' .
To try to spin PC as the villain in this is nuts. But for many in the league and in our fanbase the dude, despite all the great he's done for the team, the city, still has to fight through the perception of being deceptive, or disloyal, going back to his very announcement as HC. He came here with a target on his back from USC... he lies, he's carried by his assistants, he can't be trusted, etc etc etc.
Bobby's feelings got involved. His emotions clouded his professional judgement. There are emotions on both sides, but when you're an executive in charge of running a franchise, fielding a winner, and balancing the books, emotions are set aside. John conducted himself the way he should have. Both sides knew it was 'business'. Bobby, the agent, should have, without emotion, represented his client. He couldn't. There's no 'wrong' here. It's just unfortunate.
Re Russ... Russ is who he's been rumored to be. He will smile and say and do whatever is 'right' for the camera. That's fine. But i take issue with the way he handled last season and his dishonesty in saying he had no idea he was being traded. He initiated the conversation. He knew about it. He wanted Denver, recruited teammates to go with him well before the trade... and then looked into the camera and said he had no idea until the FO told him he was being moved... like the day before?
That's not a leopard. That's a chameleon. Change your look entirely to benefit yourself in whatever environment you are in.
Wish Bobby was here for half the money he had.
Let Denver deal with Russ.
One thing I know is there likely won't be a Russel Wilson interview where he's as honest about what really went down, the way Bobby just did. Two great players, both. One great Seahawk.
