Obviously we can attempt to read between the lines, we can say he said this but meant that.

I’m willing to take it at face value, I’m as excited as he says he his.

Speaking of which ...............

Did anyone catch that Obe Wan reference?

Russell Wilson says the Seahawks have become ZOOM MASTERS !

I wonder how Steve Largent might relate to that.

At the risk of looking like a total homer I'll take it all at face value like always wants to be here. We got an answer that he never asked for a trade. We never really got an answer about how those 4 teams got leaked. But I'll ignore that and go with all the right things we heard today

Notice how he emphatically emphasized "A little bit" blown out of proportion. "Unfortunately it got a little bit...A little bit blown out of proportion.." If there was little to no truth to the rumors I think that would have been his platform to say something to this effect...

"Wow, man when I started hearing all the hoopla I was like, 'Whoa! I never said that!' All of that media coverage was WAY out of proportion. I was simply frustrated like any competitor would be after being one and done in the playoffs, against our division rivals at home no less. But in no way did I ever discuss potential trading scenarios or anything of the like."

Instead, it was "a little bit" out of proportion. Read between the lines as you will.

I lost a lot of respect for RW through this whole thing.

He is dodging the answers so hard in a way that makes him look even more fake than before. He cannot hide that he's been acting like a spoiled baby.

Also, take a shot every time he says, "The reality is..."

You'll be dead in 7 minutes.

Sounds like Wilson is saying that if there's another early exit in the playoffs, it's his last season in Seattle.

This could be it, boys.

Have some respect guys, you are talking about a future owner of NFL franchise and president of united states.

Keep that same energy for Pete's press conferences

unfortunately people are going to take what they want from what he said and if he does not say what they want they will make it up.


IF you are pro Wilson you will see the good
IF your a Wilson hater you will see the bad

Meanwhile, the truth is someplace in between. but what fun is the truth.

Are you hinting that the average intelligence of the NFL fan is in question? :roll:

not at all, only saying people see and hear what they want to. However, you in fact made my point. You read my post and believed what you wanted.

I dont think anybodys buying that everything is all rainbows and sunshine with Russ and the organization. The message was pretty vague to say the least.

He's obviously frustrated, and that's a bad thing, even though I happen to be pro-Wilson. After completing a 007 movie, Daniel Craig said something to the effect that he'd rather be dead then make another one. He still came back for a couple more.

My only issue is then the Russ team is talking trades behind his back? I get he isn’t going to tell the truth. And I don’t think he has to. It’s done and hopefully it sparks him into playing a full season. But if they don’t really look good and the team isn’t winning the media and Russ team will blame everyone and then he will demand a trade.

This is such a mature view for you to take, J63.

I'm encouraged by your growth. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out in application.

It sounded to me more like Schneider was answering his office phone, and finding GMs on the line asking about trades, which he was brushing off as not serious.
