No but you can watch some of the clips from the interview here:

Edit -- Just watched it. Actually a pretty entertaining interview. Seahawk fans sounded loud even there, though Russell said the crowd noise at CenturyLink wasn't much of an adjustment after playing at Wisconsin and NC State. Russell was asked whether he wanted to be the highest paid player in football and responded that he wanted to be paid based on his play. Most awkward moment was Russell's joke that Carroll paid his players at USC, which fell flat with the L.A. audience. Overall, Russell looked a little more comfortable in this interview setting than he did a year ago.

With your avatar, you're touting the "NFC CHAMPIONS Back To Back", for which Russell Wilson played a BIG part in helping to get us those trophies in the first place.
I don't suppose you think Coach Bevell had anything to do with that particular costly play-call?

And that is the $64,000.00 question. :th2thumbs:scutterhawk":1v64za3f said:

Yeah that was pretty awkward when Russ joked that Pete paid for players at USC. I think right after he said it, he realized what he just said.

Wilson also mentioned that he'd seriously consider playing both football & baseball if the Rangers traded his rights to the Mariners.

Please no. I love Russell as a football player, but he would not help the Mariners at all. Mariners already have enough hitting problems. Wasn't Russell like a career .220 hitter in single A?
I also found it interesting that Russell kind of made a joke about his baseball abilities, comparing it to Jimmy Kimmel's softball abilities. Seems like Russell has lightened up a bit. That could be the Ciara effect.

Didn't he also say Andy Sandberg soiled himself in the Green Room?

Good interview, but a lot of awkward moments. There were actually a lot of good jokes in there that went over the audience's heads unfortunately. I actually liked the Sandberg jab at Carroll's "prank" at the end of the SB.

Having Andy Samberg there in a bubble was classic!

Interesting, didn't realize Samberg was a Whiner fan.

Like throwing 4 interceptions and posting a 13.6 QBR in the last one? If it wasn't for our defense mitigating the damage of that disastrous first half, and Green Bay somehow managing to wrest defeat from the jaws of victory, we wouldn't have won last year.scutterhawk":1ywepde9 said:
Wilson played a BIG part in digging us a massive HOLE in that game. Wilson had very little to do with us winning the NFCCG last year.
In the first half, green Bay had scoring drives of 18, 22, 56, and 11 yards. If you told me an Aaron Rodgers-led team only managed 13 points out of that field position, I'd find it hard to believe. But each time we turned the ball over INSIDE FIELD GOAL RANGE, our defense held Green Bay to just a field goal. That's how good our defense was that day.
It was our defense, not Wilson, that had a BIG part in helping us win BOTH those trophies. Or do you also forget The Tip and the several 4th-quarter turnovers that our offense failed to convert against SF?

I think it's probably worth a tad more than that.Rocket":2vnax97x said:

So you are under the impression that 'played a BIG part in helping to get us those trophies' means purely that 1 game where we actually receive the trophy? You have to be in that game to even have a chance. So he could have played like shit for the first 17, but if he had been a beast that game you would credit him with a 'BIG part in helping to get us those trophies'? That logic seems flawed to me. Very flawed honestly. I would argue he did have a big part in getting us there and still agree he played very badly in the GB game. I don't think those are mutually exclusive at all.
