“I think Wilson is one of the least authentic personalities we have in this league. Russell Wilson is a poser. I don’t think that makes him a bad person. He’s a good person,” he said. The TV host added Wilson tries to be something he is not. He also criticized Wilson and Ciara for how they attended red-carpet events. “Russell Wilson shows up with his sunglasses and his wife, and I think they think they’re Jay-Z and Beyonce and they will literally put their hand up and say ‘No, we’re not talking,’” he pointed out.

But he misfired, and his performance in the latter half invited a lot of hate reactions. As per records, he is one of the worst-performing QBs in this season.
