All I know is that the Broncos are for sale and now they will be able to get maximum price I'll bet.

Oh, YAY.....

Really, I'd like to see Wilson excel! Or be gone and have someone that can get rid of the ball take his place.

I remember hearing her on shows a few times in the past talking about her love on the game. Saying one time her dream job would be to be the Commissioner of the NFL. Maybe she will see that dream come true one day.

She'd be better than Roger. She's been on the competition committee for college since they went to the playoff format and it'd be hard to argue that the committee has failed in their picks.

Because sportsball

And this matters because?

Some people like football. The real football. Not that sissy run back and forth trying to kick and headbutt a white ball for 90 minutes to win/lose 1/0.

And this matters because?

 

[Mikej]

NEVER been a pre season football fan. But considering how terrible commercial TV has become. I'll admit, it was pretty exciting to watch some of the first 2022 preseason NFL game last night. It got me through to Jeopardy at least!

 

[pharmseller]

No way!

When did this happen?

Holy moly a strong D and good Oline with Geno Smith at QB beats Russell Wilson and the Broncos.

Geno smith qb rating 119

Russell Wilson QB rating 101

Holy Smokes

That was just what he deserved. Those seahawks fans really enjoyed the payback.

Fans in Denver are getting pretty pissed at Wilson. I guess they booed him the entire game at home in week 5.

97% of fans in a poll gave the team a grade of "D" or lower for the last game.

Hell at this point he can laugh all the way to the bank.

Report today that Wilson lobbied the owner to have Pete Carroll and John Schneider fired, and hire Sean Payton.

This comes from Mike Sando who is a well respected reporter following in John Clayton's footsteps. He covered the Seahawks for quite a while before going to espn.

Report: Russell Wilson tried to get Pete Carroll, John Schneider fired before he was traded

Shortly before he was traded to Denver, Russell Wilson lost a power struggle in Seattle.

Russ was quick on the nuanced denial (of sorts) in his tweet today.
Jodi Allen's reply last year that Russ made it clear he wanted a new start tends to underscore that Sando's article probably has the most truth in it.
