We've seen Russell Wilson pull off the improbable through the years. Some of the plays he's kept alive are astonishing. Some of the comebacks he's engineered are awe-inspiring. The throws he's made and the odds he's defied make him the embodiment of pulling off the longshot.
But what if he graduated from improbable and just pulled off the impossible? What if the man who spurned his old team and turned off his old city; the man with the $245 million extension, celebrity wife, and Super Bowl ring; the man with the cheesy slogans, cringe-worthy commercials and trying-way-too-hard Twitter pics ... just became a sympathetic figure?
Wilson's devolution over the past month and a half has been astounding. Train wrecks are just as jealous as ex-teammates over the attention he's getting.
