My friend and compatriot Jacson Bevens tipped me off to an idea when he tweeted out this screenshot last week:

Let's highlight some of the worst of the week.
Russell Wilson says he will be 'ready to go' unless the Seahawks pay him upwards of $25 million/year. How greedy can you be playing a sport?

It's amazing what people will convince themselves of what they heard or read.
Russell Wilson needs to calm down with his contract. He is so greedy and ungrateful, he's getting plenty of money.

Jess wood play for free!

Ur man Russell Wilson prolly won't ever see the super bowl again until he break up with Ciara...nobody ever prospered while dating her smh

Well, can't argue with that one.
As a #Seahawks fan, I can tell you that Russell Wilson is NOT worth $110 million dollars.

Phew, for a second I was worried that you weren't a Seahawks fan and therefore had no business saying what a player is worth.
Schefter: "Russell Wilson will play last season of his deal w/ insurance policy worth millions #Seahawks https://t.co/payHkMC7VH

"Here let me retweet Schefter but include a quote of what's in the tweet so you can read it twice."
And the winner of the week's worst tweet:
#RussellWilson Yer a great player and person, but dont be a greedy dick. 20 million is plenty for what u do. You aint curing cancer.

Congrats to Jeff! Let's see if he can repeat next week ... in which case he'll be a greedy dick who wins too much.
