I just heard this on local Seattle news. One of the reasons he's my favorite Quarterback in the NFL.

Great on his part. One minor note, upgrade to 1st class on Alaska Airlines is $50.00

For Wilson it probably didn't cost a dime. Since he saw it while he was on the plane it means the seat was unsold and no one had requested an upgrade. So he probably batted his eyes, made a suggestion, panties got wet and viola.

I fly "non-revenue" all the time. If there's a seat in 1st class I get bumped.

Russell Wilson seems like an all around quality guy. To bad he plays for that shitty team.

If you're trying to bust my balls (out of a courtesy to you so you waste any more of your time). I hate football...all of it.

But you're right he seems a square cat.

They made two Super Bowls in a role not to mention the number one defense in the NFL. I'll put my money on Wilson and the Seahawks. 8)

Being from PDX, I hate all Washington teams. It started with Xavier McDaniel.

The only sport I've ever really followed regularly was rodeo until about 3-4 years ago. A buddy of mine showed me some highlights of Kam Chancellor and I was hooked. I played linebacker in high school and always liked Dick Butkus because of how he hit people, I see a lot of Dick Butkus in Kam Chancellor. Like them or not their defense is incredible.
