Is this guy an actually human, or has Denver turned him into a Subway Danger-wich robot at this point? The new reports out of Denver saying that Russell Wilson spent 4 hours on the team flight to England exercising and stretching makes him sound like a legit robot.
I’ve never seen a professional athlete go from being one of the most respected players in his field, to then being mocked and ridiculed for outlandish behavior as quickly as Russell Wilson has since his move to Denver.
Obviously, we all know about Wilson’s squeaky-clean, baby-face persona that has garnered him numerous endorsements from huge brands, such as Subway and Nike, and has been memed to death when he creates new catchphrases, such as “Go Hawks” or worse yet “Lets Ride”, after EVERY SINGLE PRESS CONFERENCE AND INTERVIEW. But this is a new low.
I mean, even when his team is getting beat and he’s played like a bum, he’s still has a happy-go, smiling attitude in the postgame press conferences. He even manages to sneak in a forced “Let’s Ride” just before he walks out as he did when the Broncos embarrassingly lost to the Colts 12-9 (they couldn’t even manage to score a touchdown in 70 minutes of football) a few weeks ago.
It’s scary how robotic and cartoonish Russell Wilson has become after only a few months in the Mile High City, and this latest story really takes the cake for me.
Get this: while all of his teammates are sleeping and getting the necessary rest required to play an NFL football game down in England this weekend, good ol’ Russell Wilson thought it would be a great idea to exercise, stretch, and do high knees down the length of the plane aisle for FOUR HOURS! Yes, FOUR HOURS of Wilson high kneeing it back and forth down the aisle.
Is this guy serious? Is he trying to make himself a caricature of a human being at this point?
Who does high knees from one end of the plane to the other end of the plane for four hours straight? Sure, I know he’s trying to come back from injury and wants to be able to play as effectively as possible come Sunday, but there’s got to be another place to do it. His hotel room, for starters!
If I was a Broncos player and I was already annoyed with Russell Wilson for his horrific play on the field, I’d be ready to explode if I saw him bouncing down the aisle ever few minutes while I’m trying to sleep. Wilson’s lucky one of the defensive or offensive linemen didn’t clock him across the face as he was high kneeing down the aisle. It’s not like they would have gotten into trouble with the coaching staff as they are all probably sick of Wilson too.
Anyway, I don’t want to continue to beat a dead horse, but this Wilson-Broncos marriage has been cursed from its inception. Maybe things will change when the Broncos get humiliated again by the Jacksonville Jaguars in front of a ruthless London crowd.
If the Broncos thought their own fans were vicious, just wait until they hear a snippet of the vitriol English fans spew when their soccer teams play poorly.
