Guess Which Player Is Brian Russell!
Yep. Being a Seahawks fan is awesome.
In a lot of ways, this one’s even better:
Watch the stutter-step as he slows down to whiff on a late hit. God, he even sucks at sucking.

I never realized that Kevin Kaesveharn (or however you spell his fucking name) had a twin. God I hated him. Thankfully, he’s now a Saint.

This reminds me of when we’d play the city teams in CYO basketball.
Does Brian Russell cry afterwards? Then it would be just like the good old days.
December 9th, 2008 at 9:47 am
Is this a trick question or something?
December 9th, 2008 at 9:53 am
And we’ve given up on the Kharity.
December 9th, 2008 at 9:55 am
Isn’t having Brian Russell around Kharity enough for the rest of the league?
December 9th, 2008 at 10:05 am
Whoops, KSK Kares info added.
December 9th, 2008 at 10:06 am
I feel your pain. During his three seasons with the Vikings, Russell made Ken Irvin look like a goddamn Hall-of-Famer.
December 9th, 2008 at 10:23 am
Wow. That’s. That’s just bad.
December 9th, 2008 at 10:30 am
as a lifelong seahawks fan who watches the games with about 3 other lifelong fans, it’s really fun to watch brian russell fuck up and collectively say “ooooh, that’ll be on KSK tomorrow”
and by “fun” i mean “fucking horrible”
December 9th, 2008 at 10:32 am
Serves you right for leaving Atlanta Patrick Kearney. Enjoy the last years of your career in Seattle.
December 9th, 2008 at 10:41 am
Shouldn’t Seattle fans be out protesting something on their Sunday’s?
December 9th, 2008 at 10:45 am
What a weiner kid
December 9th, 2008 at 10:45 am
Surely Mr. Russell has other skills–perhaps he’s an excellent parker.
December 9th, 2008 at 10:50 am
YA FAWKS CAAANT UNDAHSTAND WHAT A GREAT ATHLETE BRIAN FAWKIN RUSSELL IS! HE’D BE THA NEXT JOHN LYNCH IF HE PLAYED FOR THA GREATAST TEAM EVAH!
December 9th, 2008 at 10:50 am
i’ve been a fan of the Seahawks since 1976, and i hate Brian Russell. he plays like someone threw a helmet on Corky from Life Goes On, and sent him out to play cover 2. i don’t see him on the squad for next season. this season was not fun to watch and Russell shoulders a lot of the blame. anyway, we’ll be a much better team next year. great website gentlemen.
December 9th, 2008 at 11:20 am
It could always be worse, the Seahags could combine Russell with someone like say, Roy Williams. Now that’s a safety combo to cry yourself to sleep with every Sunday night.
December 9th, 2008 at 11:24 am
And I thought Sean Considine was a terrible football player.
December 9th, 2008 at 11:32 am
Thanks to you guys, I made a point to watch for that assbag during the Pats/Seahawks game. I mean, I’ve seen ugly (I have to watch Deltha O’Neal every friggin week), but that’s circus ugly.
December 9th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
As terrible as Brian Russell is, I think it is worse for Seahawks fans knowing they have a Masshole for their QB who flaunts his Massholiness on TV commercials and has a Green Mawnstah built in his backyard. Too bad he didnt play Sunday because it would been interesting to see his “effort” against the the team nobody cared about before 2001.
December 9th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
he might be one of the suckiest sucks that ever sucked.
December 9th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
I have the pleasure of watching #25 at “work” for 8-10 games a year in person. You know what is awesome? Me and my 65,000 buddies (luckily the season was sold out before the games began) know exactly where the ball is going on every defensive possession. Every. Fucking. Possession. The worst part is that his position coach doesn’t even realize how bad B-Russ really is. Oh wait, that’s not the worst part, the worst part is that his position coach is going to be the HEAD coach next year. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t take another year of this shit. For Christ’s sake, can you put the bounty out already?!? Sean Taylor’s killers must have friends, right?
December 9th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
that’s what you get when you sign someone who the CLEVELAND BROWNS thought wasn’t up to their standards.
December 9th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
I remember watching when the play captured in the first gif happened and saying to my wife…”Fuckin’ Brian Russell…so worthless…” thanks for letting me relive this today..
December 9th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
This is sheer comedy gold. In a way, you have to admire Brian Russell. He sucks so badly, but somehow apparently manages to hide it well enough that the dipshits in charge of the Seahawks think he’s a valuable player.
+1, and a +2 if you can have the Yakkety Sax playing during these videos.
December 9th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
CC – you missed another complete whiff on a kick return! I had everyone at the game laughing at him when it was shown on the big screen.
December 9th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
I could have made that fucking sack. God I love Brian Russell, he’s living proof that even pasty fat white guys like me, him or Drew can play in the NFL and look like the pathetic losers we are.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:04 pm
That’s not nearly as bad as Juniors whiff on Deion. After he missed him, he went out of bounds and just stayed there. Of course, he is 40 and was surfing last week.
December 9th, 2008 at 11:31 pm
Brian Russell is one of the better free safetys in the leauge. You are constantly looking for Brian Russell fuck ups, but you are missing other players. Guys football is a eam sport and a game of 11, its takes everyone to function. Plus you fail to realize that EVERY player messes up every sunday, as a safety his are just way more visable. Go around the league,k wtach the film youll see, thers a reason why Brian Russell is staring, because his coaches are see him everyday and know what he brings. As fans you dont see what he brings liek leadership, and getign guys lined up, ect ect ect. Half of you seahawks fans are too drunk at games to even comment on this, the other half probably never played football. Think about it, when the safety has to make the tackle, it means someone else kinda fucked up the play…thats the reason they are called safety…last line of defense. And for every one of the Brian Russell “fuckups” I have seen him shut down recivers, make big hits and contain his zones. Hes a good player, shut up and suport your team
December 10th, 2008 at 10:27 am
+1 for the comedy gold that Brian Russell….errr…….Branden Audet provided
-1 for the misspellings…..ect ect ect??? really???
December 10th, 2008 at 10:49 am
@Branden Audet FS (aka Brian Russell)…..”one of the better free safetys in the league”, eh?
you’re a moron. or blind. maybe both.
shut up and learn how to spell.
December 10th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Branden Audet – I didn’t realize this was such a serious website. I’m sure KSK will issue an apology to Mr Russell shortly as this was a very insulting article. As soon as his nutsack drops down from his stomach and he makes a tackle.
December 10th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
As a lifelong Pats fan and dedicate KSK reader, I watched Sunday’s game with a keen eye on #25, not believing he could be bad as he is portrayed. I was wrong. Horribly, horribly wrong. That dude is beyond pathetic, and there were a dozen other plays where you could see him positioning himself to avoid contact. Slowing down a touch so the tackle is made just before he gets there, taking a horrible angle so someone else has to make the play. You could spend a week in Roget’s and not come up with words to capture his douchetastic atrocity.
December 10th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
Fuck. “Dedicated” KSK reader. First post and I shit the bed like Russell.
December 10th, 2008 at 2:26 pm
So does Seattle not have sports talk announcers whipping their callers up into a hate frenzy on Senor Russell? Over here, KC fans pride themselves on being “basically nice people.”
Then as soon as Larry Johnson says something mildly negative about the team they come at him with pitchforks. Even Tony Gonzales, who I’m pretty sure is the only actual player on the Chiefs, has come under fire for not being a “nice guy.”
Just so we’re clear: Arrowhead stadium and its stupid goddam tomahawk chop can eat a bowl of Carl Peterson’s post lipo fat remnants and then die in a fire.
But only if that fire includes Tony Kornheiser.
December 15th, 2008 at 2:11 am
hahah I didnt meen any of my coments to insult anyone, I find it amusing that we as fans have more passion for the game than in most other parts of life, its great.
So first let me appolgize, I have been a player, and I play the same posistion so am I a little biased well ya (haha Hamilin use to be my fav safety) I am a halks fan true and through cus it seems liek who ever puts o nthe uniform bcomes my favorite player.
No as a current player now I understand what you are critizining Brian for, and I agree in part. I hate guys who play on D who slow up for contact, purpously avoid it or “half tackle”, …man were on defense, if they get the ball make the mother fucker pay the price..thats how I play.
So I guess RUssel is guity but you could call out 90% of the defensive backs i nthe leauge for avoiding contact haha thats why thier DBs (most) but Biran Russell has laid some hits on people, and for any who dont know google chad johnson hit…and look who hit him out of the game..ya Brian Russell.
Another point Iam trying to make is in the coverage cheme that the Hawks play, we rarely use the bump aka press coverage. This means are corners play off so its a free release for the recivers. Now you get a Wide out whos reached full speed comign off with no jam, and hes runing to score, as a DB its hard to take the right angle and go full force. Now if the WR was jamed it slows them up allowing an easier angle and tackle for the safties Grant and Russell. Now for people who still dont get it, go in you back yard and have you buddy run full spees at you when you are at a stop. Thats what its like, becuase the safeties are in their backpeddle and then have to come back down. Now provided we had a great pass rush, or interior pressure our safties timing would be alot better getign to the ball, thus makign them look like they were thier first year here (major upgrade over hamlin and boulware). now if you want to critisize Russell for not being as agressive look at the reason why we got rid of ken Hamlin and Micahle Boulware. Boulware took reads liek a linbacker and Hamlin read like a strong safety. (just a fun story my teamate ran a post corner on Hamlin in a camp and hamlin bit so hard on the post that the whole camp was laughing) he was and is a great physical safety but Russell is an upgrade in the smarts. Can he tackle better and play more agressive, of course but again its our team…SUPPORT Them..theres alot worse players than Brian Russell.
- Anybody else notice that Womack and Ray Willis have been almost upgrades in our O line????
and sorry about the typos, Just got a new lap top not use to it. GO HAWKS!
December 15th, 2008 at 2:19 am
haha damn I really do suck at typing haha
December 20th, 2008 at 4:53 am
nah branden, brian russell fucking blows. i dont know what team youve been watching all year, but he does nothing every game except get burned or bite hardcore on play actions…and well, those gifs you see above there? those have happened more then once this year too *rewind to cowboys game*
