i kind of hope the Broncos lose every game next season.
it was just time, ya know? Russ and the Hawks - that relationship had run its course. The Hawks could have landed a better deal - in fact the deals from Chicago and The Washington Commies were supposed to have been better but Russ refused to sign his no-trade clause for those teams. The hawks got what Russell is pretty-much worth, figuring he's now probably the 5th or 6th best QB - based on his last two years.
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
