UPDATE:
Classless Seahawks.
Put out a hit piece on Russ and then refuse to speak with a media that will ask the tough questions.
Wilson takes the high road.
Seattle is losing the PR battle.
Mediots are gonna mediot. But this is a big deal if they care about the franchise looking classy, versus classless. Having bad public sentiment is not good for business longterm either.
Bad look for the Hawks, good look for Wilson.
I suppose so if being the biggest whiner is the test for winning the battle. Who effing cares what the Denver media thinks.
Someone on KIRO 710 stated that Seattle doesn't do these opposing press calls prior to the first week. And even if they simply chose not to do one, so what? Is this really a serious post?
As for Russell, he is largely spin to protect his image - the problem is once there's a crack in the shell of perfection it will never be shiny and new ever again. Russell's inability to accept his role or take accountability for the lack of success is much more the point than whatever slights he is trying to use to support his cause. Whatever road he's on is lined with a fair amount of deception, lies ,and half-truths.
Russell became as great as he was perceived to be because of his work ethic, confidence, genetics and spin - at some point (much earlier than we can know I think) the confidence turned to hubris and that was the end. As genetics do what they do he may soon be left with only spin to cling to.
As to whether an organization should have been scouting QBs every year and even looking at trading a QB who has become prohibitively expensive and has limitations - I would expect that is big yes of course. I would hope the organization would always be involved and looking at improving in every possible way.
I get the victim role that the media clings to but what is your endgame as a fan of the Seahawks?
With all that said, it does provide some entertainment, so please do carry on.
