Russel Wilson Says It Was God's Idea For Him To Throw 4 Interceptions So That They Could Have A Dramatic Comeback
MMQB – Wilson let go of the ball at the Packer 43. It came down at the one, leading Kearse perfectly. The coverage was tight—borderline interference, in fact, with Williams’ hands going around Kearse’s neck as the ball arrived. “I felt I was in good position,” Williams said. “But he made the throw, and I couldn’t get the ball out. The guy made a good catch, Russell made a good throw. Good read.”
“Tunnel vision,” said Kearse. “I knew I was going to make the play.”
The ball nestled into Kearse’s arms. Williams hogtied him to the ground, but Kearse hung on. Back judge Dino Paganelli, the Grand Rapids AP history teacher (remember him from my Week in the Life of an Officiating Crew series last year?) waited to see that Kearse came down with it. He waited an extra tick, then threw his arms in the air. Touchdown.
“Instant classic,” Bevell said.
“One for the ages,” Carroll said.
“That may be one of the best games in NFL history,” said Wilson.
I found Wilson afterward, and asked him about the four picks, and going from the worst game of his life to the most exhilarating in the span of eight minutes of game time.
“That’s God setting it up, to make it so dramatic, so rewarding, so special,” he said, alone for a moment in the locker room before heading out for the night.
I didn’t have any feeling whatsoever about Russel Wilson 48 hours ago but now that he’s the only thing standing between me (Tom Brady) and the rarefied air of undeniable immortality I hate his stinkin’ guts. Hate everything about him, it all irks me. But this God nonsense is preposterous. God felt like watching a good game, Russ? What was he at a fucking Buffalo Wild Wings and decided to trigger a glare to bounce the ball of Bostwick’s face because God was in the mood for a little overtime? Shut the fuck up, you shitty haired idiot. God doesn’t give a fuck about you. I hate anyone who pretends they’re some good little Christian and praises god every postgame interview. You think the omnipresent being you believe in who drives clouds and farts lightning was so bored that he spent his Sunday making you throw interceptions for drama’s sake? What a narcissistic little shithead. Fuck you, Russ Wilson. Fuck you right to hell.
