Ben Baldwin was gracious enough to take half an hour to talk with me on Wednesday, reacting to the trade of Russell Wilson.Ben became known as my economist friend back in 2019 when he talked with me about an article on all the reasons it's stupid to draft a running back in the first round. He is an economist, who moved to the East Coast in 2012 and found the Seahawks — and the enthusiasm that blossomed around the team — connected him back to his hometown. He's been a heavyweight of Seahawks Twitter ever since then in addition to writing for The Athletic.I love Ben's perspective, and the way he builds data-driven opinions about what really matters in an NFL game. And he really is my friend. I send him a holiday card. This is a public episode.
