Sure it's a marketing ploy. I get that. Still, why is it allowed to happen? Isn't there SOME level of courtesy between pro sports? We all know that baseball is a passion of RW. Why in the hell is it okay for them to announce that they have drafted our beloved leader as he is in the mix of going for a championship? Sorry but it just seems wrong to me.
I won't go as far as suggesting that any struggles RW showed today were due to the distraction of the Rangers draft pick but I can't think it helped any either.
Thoughts?
Aros.. you're awesome.. but this post is pretty funny. :lol:
The Rule 5 draft is generally a meaningless activity, hence why it gets no pub. The Rangers are known to make these out of the blue picks all the time (Ricky Williams, Jameis Winston, etc). I guarantee you Russell Wilson heard about, laughed, then went back to film study.
In regards to his game today.. sometimes you're just not on your A game. Russell played well but did miss throws, throws he makes more often than not. I just chalk it up to that, and have 100% confidence he will be back to his old self the next several weeks.
