Russell Wilson on Aaron Rodgers’ God comment: ‘Everybody is entitled to their

I know for me, I’m just grateful that God has given me an opportunity to play the great game of football.

Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man! While there, Wilson, a devout Christian, met a sweet little girl who asked him to be her godfather. “I love it. Like I said, everybody’s entitled to their own opinion”. It’s being very confident in the preparation and then getting it all from God.

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson on Thursday deflected a question about quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ holy verbal jab following the Packers’ 27-17 win over the Seahawks at Lambeau Field.

More than the accolades and victories that he accomplishes on the field and more than the material riches that he accumulates as the days walk forth day by day as they are wont to do, this is the real Russell Wilson.

Wilson has not played poorly; he is completing 71.8 percent of his passes, with a rating of 91.1, three touchdowns and two interceptions.

But the lack-of-humility contest began when Wilson suggested that God hand-picked the Seahawks to win the NFC Championship – and to win it in a way that made the Packers feel like they had taken up residence in hell.

“I think God cares about football”, Wilson said.

“He cares about the people involved, but I don’t think he’s a big football fan”, Rodgers added. “I think God cares about everything he created”. “When our family had its ups and downs, I knew my parents relied on God for everything and He always got us through those rough spots”. Consider that just four of the 98 teams to play in the Super Bowl since the game originated in 1967 have started 0-2 – the 1993 Cowboys, 1996 Patriots, 2001 Patriots and 2007 Giants.
