    But is Russell a generational talent?

    He'll be in the HOF so yes he easily is.

    Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe probably deserve consideration, if we're not focusing the answer on just men's sports.

    True enough. The term used in the post was "greatest sports figure", which to me involves reach and impact. This is why I was basically focusing on men's big 3. Bird and Valeri would be on the same level to me, looking way up at the others I mentioned.

    I have 2 pairs of Seahawks socks given to me by my in laws: Wilson and Wagner. Both are becoming obsolete in the same day.

    Russ has talent yes but the rumors of being a shitty teammate have followed him since college. Not to mention he comes off as fake as one can.

    Jody is really clearing the books on both her franchises. Rumor has Howard Schultz aggressively perusing the Seahawks. Guess OKC wants a football team lol.

    Last sentence was a joke but he is trying to buy the Hawks.

    ...yes, historically small for QB. Will it correlate with his NFL success/failure, idk :dunno:

    I thought I read some artifacts from the Super Bowl Game he gave away was already in the HOF?

    To me Griffey is the answer to the question. The guy was almost bigger than the sport and arguably was the best in baseball (especially without being helped out chemically) over a 5 year stretch! As good as Russ is, he was never even the best QB in his own conference, let alone the league and never close to being the best player.

    You don't trade Wilson if you are trying to compete, IMO.

    I agree. Looks like a rebuild. Which surprises me with a 70 year old Pete Carrol as your head coach.
