This is the best of outkicked the coverage with clay Travis on Fox Sports Radio.

So when these stories in the NFL come out and I mean the stories where they involve power struggles between a star player and a team, you can usually tell which side it's coming from.

Right. Just based on the presentation of the story based on the quote unquote anonymous quotes in the story based on just some of the details in the story.

It's pretty obvious that you can tell where this is coming from. And so an example of one of these stories would be if you remember a couple of years back there was that big piece that Seth Wicker Sham did in what you talked about the rift between Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

And it was all these stories about you know Jimmy Garoppolo and you know just sort of how uncomfortable things were and just sort.

And you got the impression as you read along with the story that that felt like it was coming from Tom Brady's camp that that was that Tom Brady and that side was was really the one maybe go into the media and kind of you know having this discussion and Seth Wicker Sham putting together this piece.

That's the way I read it. That's the way I viewed it was okay. Clearly if you had to pick a side this was coming from it was going to be Tom Brady and his side.

And I wouldn't imagine Bill Bella check at that point in the season would have gone to Seth Wicker Sham and said hey man I got to spill the beans here that's how I took it but regardless if you took the other side there's one side that it heavily leans towards.

So the tents past few weeks and we'll call them tents because that's exactly what they are between Russell Wilson and the sea ox got even more tents.

Right things things have now gone to another level of awkward and uncomfortable and possibly borderline panic in Seattle when it comes to Russell Wilson and the sea ox because a story came out via the athletic.

And great job on the reporting Michael Sean Dugger Mike Sando Jason Janks all did a phenomenal job in reporting this for the athletic.

And it comes out on Thursday morning and they're discussing the power struggle between Russell Wilson and the Seattle sea ox.

And it's a long long deep dive and they discuss in this article that there was a meeting between Russell Wilson and the coaching staff and there was a meeting between Russell Wilson and the Seattle sea

ox about having more influence on some of the offensive play calling and this was in a November game before a short week game I believe against the Arizona Cardinals just having you know more involvement in this and whatnot and the sea ox basically said no.

And the way that it was presented in the article is that Russell Wilson stormed out of the office he was pissed he was not happy.

Now in this discussion and all of this that that's being happy that's happening here between Russell Wilson and the Seattle sea ox it all just seems like Russell Wilson is unhappy and he's a little bit pissed off about what's going on and this is just a normal NFL story about an unhappy quarterback we've seen this before this is not a surprise.

We've seen quarterbacks be unhappy because they haven't gotten involvement in the play calling we've seen this before every time the Steelers draft somebody I think they drafted Mason Rudolph Ben Rothisberger took time out of his golf game in the off season and did a local hit on a Pittsburgh radio station out of the blue on a weekend show and let me tell you something.
