"The summer before my senior year of college, I’m playing minor-league baseball. I called my football coach at NC State and said, ‘Hey coach, I’d like to come back for my senior year.’ He told me I wasn’t coming back. He said, ‘Listen son, you’re never going to play in the National Football League. You’re too small. There’s no chance. You’ve got no shot. Give it up.’ Of course, I’m on this side of the phone saying, ‘So you’re telling me I’m not coming back to NC State? I won’t see the field?’ He said, ‘No son, you won’t see the field.’ Now this was everything I had worked for. And now it was completely gone. If I wanted to follow my dream I had to leave NC State. I had no idea if I would get a second chance somewhere else.

Let's not forget that Russell decided to walk on senior day as a junior, he refused to give the team a yes or no whether he would return and if he were batting .350 instead of .220 he probably stays with baseball all together. 

But please, Russell, keep making poo up.

Yeah that sounds made up. Like the cool youth pastor telling the story about how he used to be a drug addict (he tried pot once) but Jesus delivered him and now he can teach all the youth and touch your daughter's thigh.

People who are not real leaders will make up inspirational poo. Wilson is a con man basically.

I'm still waiting for Russell's biggest secrets to be released. I know he's hiding something, I know there's something really fugged up that will eventually be discovered.

Russell Wilson = Alex Rodriguez

Both very talented professional athletes. No denying it.  Both say what they think people want to hear and appear to be putting on an act, almost manchurian like.

Wilson's public persona seems very contrived. 

I sense that it's just a matter of time before the curtain gets pulled back to expose some skeletons.

tarheel checking in Russell is making poo up also State had Glennon waiting in the wings (he gave them two great years)- what were they supposed to do? Be held hostage while Russell made up his mind?

NC State did nothing wrong, and I'd be willing to bet a bunch of money that TOB never told Wilson any of this shit 

Wilson is all about his legacy, always has been. Just go listen to the audio from the playoff game- he kept saying "greatest comeback ever" or some poo. He thinks he's in a Disney movie.

Hard to believe NC State would be that stupid. I'm sure they would've love ed to have him at QB for another season. 

With that said, I have two fraternity brothers who actually grew up with Russell Wilson and neither one has a single negative  thing to say about the guy.

Not a fan of Russell--I think he is a narcissist--but I will add that the coach had to make a commitment to Glennon who had more eligibility left.  Not that Russell was not a nice player, but Glennon was on campus working with the program and Wilson was trying to find the quickest path to fame.  After all, if Wilson himself thought he had a shot as  an NFL QB,would he be leaving for the minor leagues before his senior year?  Don't get mad a the coach for not believing in you when you didn't first.

Another question:  Why is Wilson saying this now?  For attention. To get everyone to say how wrong the coach was and praise him.  A couple college psychology classes is all it takes to read Wilson.  The whole story is much different than his version.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
