Wilson does bizarre workout for 4 hrs on plane trip to London

[12AngryHawks]

Must have been annoying as eff for his team mates trying to sleep.

I don't even buy he's that hurt. He played through almost every injury at Seattle barring the finger injury where he couldn't throw it. He's struggling form wise and now injuries are being used as an excuse.

He's supposedly been hurt since week 5, what explains his poor play from weeks 1-4?

I wonder if Russ brings team 3 on these long trips? How many of them and where do these boys and gals sit? Do team 3 interact with teammates? Russ has his own office in team building, just one room for Russ or rooms for Russ and team 3? Is this Russ still inside the brand?

 

[Seahawker]

It's fitting that his number is 3, because he's as phony as a three-dollar bill.

I'm really hoping that we wind up with the number three pick in the draft, that would be the cherry on the cake.

He was just walking up and down the aisle, stretching?

Witnesses said he was stretching his ego.

How the mighty have fallen...he is a joke now and he deserves everything that comes his way. Its really fun to watch which act of complete stupidity he will do next....

Let's hope Denver doesn't figure things out so that Russell begins to perform better.

If Hackett scraps his offense in favor of playing a type of Russell ball a gift from the brilliant mind of Pete Carroll, I could see that happening.

Hyperbole both ways often leads to disappointment.

 

[CPHawk]

Hackett will be fired soon. Probably one more L is all it takes.

Can you imagine being on an international flight, trying to rest and some asshole is doing cartwheels in the isle? His teammates have to hate this guy. I've had flights with a crying baby before. It's annoying, but understandable. This nonsense is a failed pr move. "look at me! I'm working hard while the rest of my team are wussies who actually need sleep!"

The reporters/public don't need this level of detail. He could have said he got in some film study and spent some time stretching so that he was ready for Sunday. That's it. This level of detail is just trying too hard.

What he said. He did not need to mention that everyone else was asleep.

The Pat McAfee show is roasting him again over this latest stunt!

McAfee is quickly becoming a national treasure. That was funny as hell!

Someone in his “group” needs to tell him no one ******* cares. Seriously. No one ******* cares you are doing high knees. No one. You are trying to hard to impress people and it’s beyond cringe. Win on the field, that’s all you need to do.

he probably sits first class and the rest of the broncos team sit in the economy seating in the back.

Russ has his own office in team building

i've seen this posted numerous times, but it's just so hard to believe that the broncos gave a player his own office (along with the 245m extension) before he even plays a down for the team. unbelievable. other bronco players have to hate this guy.

but then again, former seahawks like marshawn are saying that to get ahold of or talk to wilson they have to go through his agent/manager.

I've been on numerous international flights, in the air for 12-13 hours. I have a hard time sleeping on planes, which really sucks toward the ends of those flights. About four or five times during the flight, I'll go to the back and do some stretching and knee bends to get the blood flowing a bit, for 20 minutes or so at a time. But one of my goals is to disturb people as little as possible, which means no noise and no bumping into people in their seats, to the extent that is possible.

I'd be willing to cut Russ some slack if he just said he got up and walked around a bunch, but that whole story is just really freaking bizarre. It seems like he did it for the ability to brag about it later more than anything else.

Give Russ a break, what would you do if you're stuck on an eight hour flight with 60 people who hate your guts and refuse to talk to you? You have to find something to pass the time.

KJ Wright was laughing his ass off. 29 minutes in. I promise you'll be glad you listened to this.

It's actually worse than "nobody cares." Wilson's transparent attempts to look good in every way that isn't simply playing better on the field make people like him less.
People care, but with a very few exceptions like @John63, they don't think the things Wilson wants them to think, things like "wow, that Russell Wilson sure works hard for his 161 million dollars! What a great deal the Broncos got!" They think things like "what kind of @$$#ø£€ does high knees while his teammates are trying to sleep?"

Seahawks fans think things like "there, but for the grace of Pete Carroll and John Schneider, go I."

About the video: I love that the guys wonder if Wilson is doing an Andy Kaufman bit (without actually mentioning Kaufman).

Side note: when I used letter-like characters to replace the letters in a naughty word above, it was unintentional that three of them ended up being currency symbols. I think it's really funny, but I can't take credit. I didn't think of that ahead of time. It just happened because "$" looks like "S," "£" looks like "L," and "€" looks like "E."

Read a book maybe? Chill like your teammates so you can be more in sync with them?

His inconsideration for their comfort makes this so selfish.

I don't like being trapped in such a small space which is why I don't travel much, but can't imagine how pissed I'd be with someone who was stomping up and down the aisle for four hours.
