Seahawks’ quarterback Russell Wilson addressed the bet with Colin Kaepernick made in a promotional video for EA Sports on the Dave “Softy” Mahler show on 950 KJR-AM in Seattle on Tuesday.

“He’s going to have to shave off his [eyebrows],” Wilson joked.

Wilson then said the bet wasn’t truly something they took seriously but did say they may still provide some kind of payoff depending on who wins the battle of NFC West heavyweights Sunday night.

“It was more of just a friendly, joking around type deal. It’s not real serious. We’ll probably do something digitally. Something like that,” Wilson said.

"It's just having fun and joking around," Wilson said Thursday. "It's not real."

Plus the video was published yesterday just as the game ended. I doubt Kaep was in a laughing mood.

The Seahawks' 12th man is scary! My TV was blasting last night and I didn't even turn it up that much. If the Seahawks get home field consider them favorites for a Superbowl run.

The stadium was made to amplify all sound, right?

wouldn't shock me if the Dolphins end up winning the division instead of the Patriots.

ESPN trying way too hard per usual.

Also, clearly no one bothered to fact-check Gruden. Moreno started (not Ball) and didn't fumble (that was Ball).

I'll definitely be skipping a few Monday nigh games this year. I can't this garbage.

several tough games this week to pick, i know seattle is at home but they didn't look good last week and the 49ers looked great (also i originally had the bears winning but i switched just to support my vikes)

went 9-7 last week

12-4 this week, pretty good

21-11 for the season

learned this week not to go against the seahawks at home no matter who they are playing

They're sharp though and get names right for the most part, that's all that matters. No dick stocktons, who is by far one of the worst announcers in the game

this was taken four, FOUR years ago from awfulannouncing

Not only did Stockton screw up just about everyone's name on both the Jets and Falcons, and call the Jets , the Eagles, about 10 times during the contest, but he spent the last four minutes of a 10-7 game saying the score was tied.

Skins look terrible. Looks like one of those "bite the bullet" type seasons. Best case scenario is that RG3 shakes off the rust and we finish strong in the 2nd half to finish with like 7 or 8 wins.

Doesn't help that we're on pace to give up the most yards in NFL history and have given up 50 first half points in two games so far. And it doesn't get easier with Megatron and Bush coming to town this week...

If there's ever a moment when Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, Phil Simms and Jon Gruden are all in the same building, I hope it explodes.

Phil Simms, though he is kind of a Giants legend, makes me want to drown a bag of kittens when I watch a game he does. It was bad enough that the Giants were getting hammered on Sunday, he was talking the whole time.

I don't mind Buck and Aikman, as long as Buck isn't doing the Cowboys he's fine(nobody nuthugs Romo more than Buck). Simms is pretty bad and Gruden is just turrible.

I miss Joe Theismann. He was/is terrible but he was such a massive Redskins homer it was hilarious.

The hits keep on coming for Atlanta. Two starters were put on IR yesterday and today I was bummed to see Steven Jackson was going to be out for 2-4 weeks. Then right after that I see Sean Weatherspoon has been put on IR. Supposedly he can return in 8 weeks. Atlanta is going to really have to earn their spot this season.

That Spoon injury stinks. Lisfranc is no easy recovery for a guy like him that depends so much on quickness.

I suspect they'll wait and see about bringing him back. If they're like 4-6 when he can come back, why rush the injury? Let him get it fully healed and back to full strength for 2014. But if they're 7-3 and in the thick of it, it might be worth the risk.

Weatherspoon is one of the three most vocal players I've ever watched play. It's not all trash talk either; during a game at Mizzou he was yelling the offensive plays and what they were going to be right back at the TTU offense, it was pretty funny.
