Another Favre (Russell Wilson) Starting in the NFL.

#Seahawks QB Russell Wilson has now thrown 10 interceptions in the last 3 meetings with the Green Bay #Packers.

Many are wondering, ala Favre in the early 90's vs Dallas, if the Packers are just psyching Wilson out when it comes to him facing GB. Maybe they're not giving Capers enough credit, but it sure seems like Russell Favre gets the heeby-jeebs with GB.

10 Picks?

Trying to show us which finger Stafford broke, but he had use his left hand as his wife had a hold of his right.

There was a stat during yesterdays game that Russ' 5 picks were the most against GB in a single game since 2012. Against, wait for it.... Jay Cutler. 

Jay gets extra credit because he threw 4 picks to GB twice. But the 2012 game gave us, "Same old Jay. We just need to be in position. Jay will throw us the ball" quote from Charles Woodson. 

Speaking of Hags...

Randall Cobb on hit: "They’re just cheap. Bunch of front-runners. That’s Seattle, for you. That’s what they do. It was all over the field."

Russ Wilson 2016. 13 TDs. 10 INTs. $18.6 million cap hit. 

Aaron Rodgers 2016. 32 TDs. 7 INTs. $19.2 million cap hit. 

Proving once again you don't always get what you pay for. 

Jay used to be the gift that keeps on giving, but I suspect that gravy train is just about over.... Unless the Vikes sign him.

Maybe the Bears will give Fisher a big contract and tell him Jay is your QB.  That should make for some good entertainment.   

Another religious/ high morals guy found to be less than honest with his charity. Shocking.

Report: Investigation has found that #Broncos QB Russell Wilson’s foundation has spent just 24.3 cents of every dollar on charitable activities in 2020 and 2021 combined.

The foundation has raised millions, but only a quarter of it goes to charity.https://t.co/147pKFu5C2 pic.twitter.com/xMm2I7uaET

On Wednesday, serious questions were raised about Russell Wilson’s charity—known as the Why Not You Foundation—when a six-month investigation by The USA TODAY Network was published. The story, which sought out to investigate past Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award winners’ nonprofits’ ended up keying in on the Denver Broncos quarterback.

Wilson received the award in 2020, which is dubbed as the league’s most prestigious honor. It is presented for excellence on and off the field, with an emphasis on community service and philanthropy. Still, the investigation by USA TODAY found that Wilson’s organization reported it spent just 24.3 cents of every dollar on charitable activities in 2020 and 2021 combined and nearly twice as much, $1.1 million, on salaries and employee benefits in that span, according to federal tax records.

The salaries include more than six figures for an executive who also works personally for Ciara and Russell Wilson, which has nonprofit experts prodding.

The investigation states:

Form 990 federal tax returns from the nonprofit’s inception through 2021 show it reported $7.5 million in revenue and $7 million in expenses during its first eight years of existence. Less than half of the money — $2.8 million, or 39.6 cents of every dollar spent — has gone to charitable activities, all as grants to other nonprofits.

The remaining $4.2 million has paid for fundraising, administrative and management expenses, including the salaries of three employees, who have received $1.9 million combined. In 2020, the year in which Wilson was given the Man of the Year award, his foundation reported $838,000 in revenue and $1.2 million in expenses, including $257,000 on charitable activities and $548,000 on salaries and employee benefits. Meaning about twice as much money went to executives in the foundation compared to charity and only 21 cents of every dollar earned went to charity.

looks like a good way to funnel and squirrel away even MORE $...

I just listened to an interview on Denver sports radio with the author of the USA Today article and went into more depth on the Walter Payton Man of the Year award.  He said there is a company out there that can be hired to increase your chances of being a finalist and winning the award.  And shocker, Russ hired this company.  The company doesn't really do anything to increase the philanthropy, it's more to market the philanthropy to win the award.

At best, he used his charity just to win awards and get adoration from the public.  At worst, it's an illegal tax scheme.  Either way, he's a POS.  Can't believe how far this guy has fallen in 12 months. 

Broncos fans just have to be so livid with that trade and what's happened since. Gave up a ton to Seattle for a QB who's a shell of himself. And now also appears to be a shady fuck as a human being.

Sean Payton also told Russell Favre his personal coach/QB coach isn't allowed in the building anymore.

Jeebus

let's dump on him a little more:

Wilson's Pro Bowl

Color me surprised that the guy who peddled "concussion recovery water" would be involved in shady business practices.

Let’s ride….to the Florence Super Max

Those numbers are pretty bad but they're also not the worst. Most charities are shady as hell.

Make-a-wish I think is over 90 cents on the dollar going to the actual wishes, and I was reading an article about a sound-alike Wish charity that only spent 3 percent on actual wishes.

If you're going to donate, do some research, and don't just hand cash to some organization pestering you on the street.

you gotta think she regerts that gif...the dog even bites russ....lol

They break down administrative costs, fund raising costs, and how much actually goes to people the organization says it is designed for.

Biting my tongue.  😇

Speaking of shitty people, don’t forget the original Favre:
