DENVER — Will Dissly said the word “cool” 19 times in seven minutes.
If you’re keeping a “cool count” at home, that’s 2.7 cools per minute over the course of Sunday’s post-game interview. And yet, can you blame him?
It was redundant, and it was true.
What better way to describe a former Pac-12 defensive end scoring the Seahawks’ first touchdown of the 2018 season? Or the fact that the 22-year-old from Bozeman, Mont., led his team with 105 receiving yards in his NFL debut? Or that he effectively incinerated his national reputation as a one-dimensional “blocking tight end”?
