Are you falling out of love with Russell Wilson?

Russell Wilson and Tom Brady will make cameos in the upcoming Entourage movie. Here he is in an Instagram photo taken behind the scenes.
No doubt, Russell Wilson and the 2013 Seahawks are the greatest thing that’s happened to Seattle sports in what seems like forever.
But since the Super Bowl celebrations, Wilson has been spotted with the likes of the crew from HBO’s Entourage, hanging with Beyonce and Jay Z courtside at a Nets game, he attended the Correspondents Dinner last weekend, and most recently went bowling with Justin Bieber.
Granted, he is the quarterback of the Super Bowl winning Seahawks, but when is it too much Russell?
“He seems to be in love with being a celebrity and the Justin Bieber thing was really weird for me, too. I’m going to admit that,” Dori said.
At least one of Dori’s listeners is pretty torn. Where do you stand?

Dori, please help me. Like everyone else, I fell in love with the Seahawks this year and in particular, I fell in love with Russell Wilson.
I love his Super Bowl win of course, but I also loved his marriage, his visit to Children’s Hospital, just the person that he seemed to be.
His divorce is his business and it’s none of mine. I don’t really care about that. But I have to admit Dori, I’m getting sick and tired of Russell Wilson.
He was at the White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday, but then the last straw was him tweeting pictures of himself bowling with his pastor and Justin Bieber on Sunday in Bellevue. With FREAKIN’ Justin Bieber!
Am I the only one who’s getting sick and tired of Russell? Help me Dori, I want to still love him, but he’s making it really hard.

If anybody needs to spend some time with a good guy like Russell Wilson and a pastor, it’s the Biebs. I hope he learned something from them.

Oh, leave Russell Wilson alone! He’s young and suddenly famous. It’s offseason and he should be entitled to enjoy his new-found fame. Am I thrilled to hear he’s socializing with the “Biebs?” NO! In the end, he is a decent young man, not into drugs or alcohol (e.g. no DUIs) and as long as he performs with the same determination and talent he has demonstrated in his short career, let’s all leave him alone! He is NOT our property!

Charlene in Lynnwood:
I say get your busy body out of Russell’s business and judge him ONLY when he wears a Seahawks uniform.
Jeremy in Seattle:
We named our first-born son after Russell Wilson! My son’s name is Wilson and he was born on January 5th, 2014. Yes, of course part of that decision was influenced by me being a life-long Seahwaks fan, but we’re just so impressed with him as a positive role model. And we like the name. We decided on the name this summer. If the baby was a boy. No, we are not super-religious, but it is ok that Russell is!
