Russell Wilson committed the heist of the decade...

He grifted the Denver Broncos into paying him almost a quarter- billion dollars over the next five years with something like 160 million guaranteed money. Plus, Seattle grifted them for their top draft picks the next couple years.

After today's debacle against the very bad Rams, Denver fans are sitting at 4-11 and have to be wondering... WTF?

With the most productive years of his career long behind him, he's set to make his best money no matter how shitty he plays.

His intro music in Seattle was a song about a nasty, thieving villain.

was a solid defense -- 3rd in the league in yards allowed and tied for 3rd in points allowed per game. Today was an "off" day, to say the least.

I think the defense is getting sick of the lack of offense. I'm glad that Denver screwed themselves majorly.... I can't stand Elway. They're reminding me of Cleveland, to a lesser degree. No one out-Clevelands Cleveland.

Yesterday was one of the worst performances I've ever seen from an NFL team.
Can't help thinking that the money Wilson's getting is playing on everyone's mind as he continues to underperform.
Seattle was smart to get rid of him while he still has value.
