00:00There are still a lot of questions and storylines out there.

00:06I'm going to throw it to you guys.

00:08To me, I think I find the Steelers, Russell Wilson, Justin Fields story to be so interesting

00:15for these reasons.

00:16One, I've been following Russell Wilson's career, and I don't mean like everybody else.

00:20We've all been watching Russell Wilson's career, but I broadcast so many Seattle Seahawks games

00:26in the Pete Carroll, Russell Wilson era.

00:29From the early days of Russell Wilson to the last days of Russell Wilson, I probably did

00:34two Seahawks games a year on Westwood One.

00:38I got to see a lot of Russell Wilson up close and personal.

00:42Him leaving and going to Denver last year, we've had these conversations.

00:46He put up numbers that were still respectable, they just were not meaningful in a weird kind

00:51of a way.

00:53You never thought him and Sean Payton would coexist, because they got him Denver and hired

00:58Nathaniel Hackett, and then fired Nathaniel Hackett, and then brought in Sean Payton.

01:02Sean Payton was going to tame the shrew that was Russell Wilson at the time, and then he

01:09pretty much kicked him out of town.

01:12He did tame it.

01:13He definitely said, hey, look, all this nonsense that you pulled with having your own office

01:20and your own coach and your own people and everybody in our facility, that's last year.

01:25Not Sean Payton's Broncos, that's Nathaniel Hackett's Broncos.
