People have gone through much worse but had the resiliency to bounce back, Joe Jurevicius lost his child and still played, Torrey Smith lost his younger brother and scored 2 TD's the next game, Brett Favre had arguably the best game of his career the day after his dad died. Sounds like you're just making excuses for the guy, I'm not as passionate about it as Stephen A, but I agree with him, Russell straight up didn't give a fuck, now he's blaming everybody but himself for his failures.

When I saw him in the Bears uniform this offseason I thought he had a chance to actually make a comeback. They should've at least let him play in the preseason and give him a chance.
@@CraigMcGuinn Not exactly. I ate Chicago pizza for the first time at the McCormick Center, and it was thicker than any pie that I’ve eaten. Couldn’t finish half of it due to how much dough was used to make it. Easily weighed 7-8 lbs for a medium sized pie.
Also, remember: the Raiders could have had Calvin Johnson or Joe Thomas (offensive tackle) as their pick (they were the next two picks---Johnson is in the Hall of Fame and Thomas should eventually be in).
Damn 40 million over years was a lot of money to QBs just 10 years ago. Wtf have I been doing in my life those guys are rich as hell now. They just gave RUSSELL WILSON 250 MILLION!
At least Skip didn’t pretend like JaMarcus Russell was a better performer on the field than Steven A said. When Skip said JaMarcus deserved a second chance if JaMarcus got back into shape, Skip meant anywhere on a roster, not as a potential week 1 starter
lmao after 2 minutes of straight yelling without anyone saying anything, he ends it with PERIOD. lmao i love stephen smith, he is the reason ESPN is interesting
So true Stephan A, and as much as I love underdog comeback stories I would bet my life that he will never see another NFL roster as long as he lives. Literally what he did could be punishable in a federal court for fraud given different circumstances. He held out the entire camp and lied and manipulated himself into getting paid a guaranteed kings ransom and said "fuck it, i'm set now" and rolled over like a coward and didn't do a lick to help the team. Such a cowardly act, and Phil Davis was one of the most true blue loyal men in the league and D. Russell screwed him with his cloths on, disgraceful. He gave the city, fans and organization a permanent black eye.
Russell straight up gave zero effort and earned the bum label even from his teammates. Kwame just wasn’t good enough but still worked hard enough to have a decades long career. The two are not comparable
@@americaninsurgent4403 after the lakers Kwame spent the rest of his career mainly on the bench being traded team to team since nobody didn't want to handle that contract of his He pretty much was a journeymen
Lol, preach SS, preach! Yeah, I gotta agree. The dude took a DVD of plays home, said he watched it to the coaches, and it turns out that it's blank... geez
The water filling too many of the “water compartments” of the Titanic (which existed to help keep the ship afloat) once the ship hit the iceberg caused the Titanic to sink
Definitely the better player but if you think about it, it doesn’t change much because the Raiders don’t get a good QB and until Carr whereas the Lions get a guy only 2 years after Calvin was drafted
I know this is all theoretical but anytime someone says something like this I like to think everything that happened in real life happens just change the one thing, in this case that’s Calvin to the Raiders instead of the Lions and it doesn’t change much
