Sal Paolantonio was in Seattle over the weekend to report on “Russell Wilson the Third.” Huh? Russell Wilson’s father’s name was Harrison Benjamin Wilson III. His brother is Harrison IV. The Seahawks’ quarterback is Russell Carrington Wilson. If he has a son, he could be Russell Wilson Jr.

Is this some kind of joke about Robert Griffin III? A dig? A compliment? What did this have to do with anything? [H/T: @modelslashactor]
