One of my greatest spelling pet peeves is when people write that a player “compliments” another player. But unless the player told his teammate that he has nice calves, then he “complements” him.

In an earlier version of today’s post, “Geno Smith is owning his moment,” I wrote that I was complementing Russell Wilson and Mr, Smith. In fact, I was complimenting them. Not on their calves, but nonetheless, I have committed this grave spelling infraction.

I apologize for this wasting your time today. I’ll be better in the future.

Geno is having the best QB come back year since Jim Plunkett, but I don't think it's fair to now compare him to Russell Wilson , who for 10 years led the NFL in hits and sacks and played for a great coach in Pete Carrol. He now labors for a soon to be fired HC Hackett and the years and hits have caught up to him physically.

Geno hasn't taken nearly the physical abuse as Russell.

The truth is the Hawks traded Russ at the rught time and their gamble on Geno paid off.

Hating on Russell is not warranted.
