Happy Birthday Matt Hasselbeck!

by John Morgan on Sep 25, 2009 3:44 PM PDT

Who knew a touchdown drive could be so discouraging? The final three plays of the drive had a little salt for everyone's wounds.

Nate Burleson skidded on granules running an option* route towards rather than away Nate Clements. Credit Clements if you will, Thom did, but Burleson needs to catch that. He did briefly, but couldn't wrap before Clements jarred it loose. Oh, what if, what if.

Then Hasselbeck assaulted the goal line.

BeckTumble

Then a swing pass to Julius Jones went through San Francisco' secondary like salt, making the conversion look easy and the effort involved a frustrating reminder of the Seattle's sloppiness and bumbling. We won't soon mine this crystal from the brackish depths of our memories. Best to hope we can soon take Sunday's panic with a pinch.

*Best guess.**

I don't get the cod or the cube.

Can we all chip in and get him a healthy rib? I’ve got five on it….

Mark Kurlansky wrote a famous book entitled Cod

and a less famous book entitled Salt.

The cube is sodium chloride. I’m a little dinghy.

Thanks for explaining to the slow kid eating the paste in the back of the room.

Still odd, but amusing.

Not cool

When it said Happy Birthday Matt Hasselbeck I thought you would tell us some good memories of Matt but instead you show us the painful injury he went through. I respect you John and I love what you do and should definitely keep it up but I think this was unnecessary. Just trying to point that out.

I did not think about that until I just read your comment.

That is rat-bastardly of me.

That's it, John.

You’re cut.

It's Great to be a Florida Gator!

I don't think we should even practice squad him after this stunt he just pulled

Have fun in Jacksonville covering Greene and Brian Russell, John Morgan.

No it's fine

No John it’s fine. I’m just trying to point that out cuz i’m one of those fans that defends Hasselbeck the whole time and like I said I admire what you do. You do a great job at what you do and should keep it up. I just thought that there would be some good Hasselbeck moments because he has been our best QB in our franchise. But keep up the good work John.
