Russell Wilson

I thought this was about Russ winning the Walter Payton Man of the Year award. Was hoping Demario would win though.

Anyway, congrats to Russell Wilson. Seems like a genuinely well liked guy who gives back to the community.

I know some media people who knew him when he was at NCSU. He played baseball and football for the Wolfpack. One of my friends said that Wilson was really suffering from food poisoning his freshman year, yet still made a trip with some football teammates to visit with recovering wounded warrior project soldiers at Camp LeJeune in Jacksonville, NC. These are some personal shots my friend took back then.

Wilson transferred from NC State when coach Tom O'Brien told him he was replacing him with Mike Glennon as starter heading into 2011. That killed me when I found that out years later. I was always a huge Wolfpack fan and photo editor of the NCSU newspaper, The Technician, during the late 70's. What "could'a" been.

Actually he IS an authority on the subject matter. His name is Tim Peeler. We worked on the same newspaper, The Technician, in the late 70's-early 80's. He was a sports writer with the Salisbury Post, The Greenville News, the Durham Herald-Sun, and the Triangle sports bureau at Greensboro News & Record. He also worked for the NC State Athletic Department. He shared this story about Wilson three days ago with a group of current and former NCSU media people of which I am a member. He was the editor-in-chief and slightly earlier I was photo editor of The Technician.

He said that this was his first encounter of many with the NCSU freshman, Russell Wilson, and was told about the food poisoning by Wilson himself. Tim added that he was on the team bus for the excursion. This is fairly common. I've been on buses with NCSU teams on several occasions.

So who is actually the

D'oh is right, my friend. I'm not sure why you care, but Tim is also an accomplished author, winning several awards for his books on baseball and other subjects. I seriously think Tim has a degree of integrity when it comes to sharing stories.

When Tim tells others and myself something we have no reason not to trust him. I'm wondering what exactly is your problem.

And by the way, mapcow, here's a shot of our editorial staff listing from one of our issues in the summer of 1979. That's me as photo editor and I'm still friends with the editor-in-chief, John. He's now with the Associated Press.

When I saw him win the Bart Starr award I knew Demario wasn't going to get the WP. He got the silver.
