2015 Seahawks: Our offense doesnt need Lynch, Graham or Rawls
- Thread starter wibi
- Start date
First two pass plays, Von Miller is chewing up and spitting out Justin Britt. And Jimmy Graham is "blocking" on the other side. This is not looking good.
3rd and goal, all 4 defensive rushers get through the 5 guys on the line and sack Wilson. Evan Mathis, want to come to Seattle cheaply for a good shot at a ring?
Tyler Lockett has already locked down the return man jobs it looks like.

LOL and got flagged for it.
And the next kickoff was returned by the 4th string QB BJ Daniels for over 30 yards and he almost broke that one too. Daniels is a hell of an athlete, but I don't know if that says more about him or the Denver return unit.

After the first team O-line debacle over the weekend, changes are underfoot. RT Justin Britt was moved to LG replacing Alvin Bailey. And Garry Gilliam comes in at RT. Anything has to be an improvement at this point. When Britt was drafted it was said it was possible he could end up at G. It'll be interesting to see if this becomes permanent.

Yes, Russell the magic water healed your concussion instantly. Somehow, I think this guy might be losing his grip on reality.

Wilson reminds me of Jeter so much and is basically the sports version of Taylor Swift - a vapid and completely contrived person whose fans are only slightly more delusional about his greatness than his haters are about his suckitude. It's not his talent that is questionable(if one is being reasonable) it's his genuineness. Fuck him and his holy boy/ pitchman persona, especially in this case where he's selling snake oil to stupid people, particularly kids who might play through injures because of his holy water.WoburnDiaspora said:
Won't anyone think of the children? But seriously, doesn't anyone think he might actually believe this stuff, given that he also claimed God spoke to him after the Super Bowl?

He....
1. Blames the 4 interceptions in the NFC Championship Game on God.
2. Regularly speaks with God.
3. Thinks he can play major league baseball despite not playing four years and only hitting .229 in two seasons of A Ball.
4. Dates Ciara, one of the hottest chicks in the entertainment business....and refuses to have sex with her.
So yeah....I think he's dumb and/or off his rocker.
Russell Wilson isn't the only QB who has touted the concussion healing powers of magic water.
From PFT:
Here's to hoping TB12 was just naive about concussions at the time and has since come to his senses. Otherwise it's a pretty bad look, one that I have trouble explaining away. Granted the ad's 4+ years old, but it's not as if concussions/CTE weren't at the forefront of the NFL's issues in 2011.

I'll gladly explain it away.
Dude signs team friendly contracts, so he needs to make his money from advertisement contracts, else be emasculated financially by his wife.
Tom is great.
On one hand: nobody should support products that amount to snake oil and promote quackery.
On the other: pro athletes are not always the brightest, and in this particular case it must be appealing for them to believe that, amidst all the bad shit being discovered about concussions, there is this substance that can help ward that bad shit off.
At the end of the day, though, there's not much to separate this from the baseball players that wear those stupid magnetic necklaces.

What the fuck is wrong with these people?
That's some masterful copywriting right there (I assume Brady didn't actually say any of this). There's no actual claim that the snake oil actually helps you recover from concussions - it just "makes [Brady] feel comfortable" that it will. The only medical claim explicitly ascribed to the quackery is "comfort."
That's hilarious. Drink our sugar water for it's placebo effect (a great value at $5 a bottle).Super Nomario said:
Ultimately, Brady said he "feels" that the product would help him recover from a possible concussion. Russell said his product provided a total recovery from a concussion AND his teammate had a total recovery from his knee issues. Significant difference there. Brady is just doing the advertising thing and expressing confidence in the product he is a spokesperson for. Wilson is stating this all happened as fact which is completely out there.
WoburnDiaspora said:
Stop twisting yourself into a pretzel on this. It's the same fucking thing, it just so happens that Brady is TEH COOLEZT!!1!
Kenny F'ing Powers said:
They're not the same thing. Wilson's statement is more explicit and Brady's designed to avoid FDA intervention. However both statements are stupid and Brady and Wilson should both run away from those claims.
Yes, both statements are ridiculous. I'm not twisting myself into a pretzel. One statement was explicit in it's claims and one isn't. I don't see why that's a hard distinction to figure out. Brady, absolutely, should retract the endorsement and say something like "Yeah, that doesn't make any sense. My bad."

Oh, cut the shit.
One statement was written out, edited, analyzed by teams of marketing/sales/lawyers, and put onto paper for publication. We're going to credit Brady for that? The other statement was off the top of the head during a Rolling Stones interview, and was quickly rectified by Wilson's agent in the hopes of being less explicit. I'm sure Wilson's agent made it clear after the interview to approach the next spot with more ambiguity. I don't see why that's a hard distinction to figure out.
Edit: In other words, Russell came up a yard short of Brady again.
Kenny F'ing Powers said:
It's not shit. It's reading comprehension. Wilson was more stupider--although there but for the grace of god (who should have fucking warned Wilson) goes Brady.
Wilson also made the mistake of doubling down on his follow up tweet.
Now, they are both silly.
However, one has easily set himself up from a knock on his door from the FTC (and potentially the FDA), and it's not Brady.
So yes there is a demonstrative difference, but no it doesn't stop them both from being stupid in regards to what this water can do.

At least we now know that Seattle will not literally burn to the ground as long as Russell is around with his magic water
It might, the Pacific Northwest is burning, man.
Like, really bad.
I just took this picture outside my office.

Stage 2 fire restrictions in effect:
It is recommended people stay indoors. It's really unhealthy out there.
MT, ID and WA are in state of emergency and there are not nearly enough fire fighters to battle all the fires. Land Management offices are taking volunteers off the street to help fight the fires. It pays extremely well for obvious reasons. The National Guard has been called in to help. It's bad and no sign of rain or relief.

After September 10, I can volunteer. 2 week on, 3 days off, 2 weeks on before volunteers must take a week off. Last I heard it's over $3K for 2 weeks of work. Remember, though, it's basically 24 hours a day in very dangerous places. 3 fire fighters have died this season and we have another 6+ weeks.

Even crazier is they are using active duty soldiers for the first time in nine years. And they are bringing firefighters in from as far away as New Zealand and Australia because the West is tapped out.
