“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

BREAKING NEWS: LB Ray Lewis has suffered a complete triceps tear in the Ravens game against the Cowboys and is out for the season.

As a sports fan I am upset but also happy about our Seattle Seahawks win over the Tom Brady led New England Pats. Here is why readers. I am upset because of all the freakin negativity but motor mouth talk shows hosts here in Seattle on sports radio KJR. (Pic from Seattle PI)

Guys like sports jock Dave Mahler and ex pro QB and ex University of Washington QB Hugh Millan. These two on a constant basis has blasted the choice of Seahawk head coach Pete Carrroll to start rookie QB Russell Wilson over a “so called” vet in Matt Flynn who the Hawks signed for some reason to a big off-season contract.

Millan was so upset by Carroll choice of Wilson over Flynn that he called Russell “A TEACHER’S PET” over the air!!! Yes he did that. And he did it more than once. And his good buddy Dave Mahler joined Hugh and many many sports radio callers and blasted the choice of Russell starting over Flynn. On a daily basis Mahler went over board talking about his dude Matt Flynn and why he should start over Wilson. He constantly used the words “#15” which is Flynn’s jersery number.

But guys like myself and KJR sports jock Brian Abker and others never took away our support of Russell. We knew that this kid Wilson is a very talented QB as well as a very intelligent young man who did one thing. He beat out Matt Flynn after the pre-season. It is just that simple.

Wilson is a player who was and is one of the first to get on the practice field in the morning and one of the last to leave practice in the afternoon and watched hours and hours of video etc. I guess Flynn did not do this. Guys like Dave Mahler and Hugh Millan CONSTANTLY brought up the fact the Matt Flynn threw for 6 TD’s and 400 something yards when he was with the Packers. I got TIRED of hearing it!!

I hope guys like Mahler and Millan can get off the Matt Flynn bandwagon and join us on the Russell Wilson bandwagon and support Russell Wilson. I don’t want to hear about a second string QB in Matt Flynn. Let me repeat….a second string QB. I want to hear about Russell Wilson, Sidney Rice and the great Seahawk D and winning games and the 12th man at Century Link.

Knowing Mahler he will continue to not fully get on the Wilson bandwagon and STILL support his dude Matt Flynn. And if he and other fans want to be stupid and do that then so be it. I was on the Russell Wilson bandwagon during pre-season and now after his performance of 16-27 and 293 yards and going toe to toe with a first ballot Hall Of Famer in Tom Brady, I hope thousands of others will join me and KJR’s Brian Abker and 710 ESPN jocks Jim Moore and Mike Salk and thousands of other fans and realize that Russell Wilson is for real.   Real talk!!!
