Someone asked him if the game was as fascinating to play as it was to watch. Wilson's response was pretty much "yes" and said the thing that made this game so wonderful to play in was the incredible lows and the incredible highs.
Basically, Russell Wilson lives to play on this stage. He eats and breathes it. All of it. Man, that would have killed me.
How to relate it to everyday life? Take something a little more mundane, like...your marriage. I heard a counselor say a few months ago, that fighting with your spouse is a form of intimacy. We all crave intimacy in our marriages. But in how many ways do we withdraw from a fight, because it's safer to withhold what's really bugging you? It's dangerous ground, we could get hurt, or say something that will really blow up in our faces.
And Russell Wilson LIVES to fight on that dangerous ground (speaking gridiron, here). He thrives in it. I suppose Brady does as well.
And perhaps that is why this Super Bowl is Wilson vs. Brady, and not Rodgers or Romo vs. Manning.
