Hasselbeck calls Roethlisberger a girl

[SunshineMan21]

I'm not sure what the big deal is . . . yeah it was a joke that was probably in poor taste, but as far as Seahawks go, Hasselbeck always seemed like a decent enough guy, and at least he was doing some charity work.

Now Mike Holmgren . . . different story.

It was a joke.

I mean, how can Ben take it seriously anyway, he's playing this week at 9-3 against the 8-4 Cowboys.

Matt is listed as Doubtful against the Patriots.

Who's the real "girl" here?

If you read the whole article, Hasselbeck immediately says he was joking and obviously was just kidding around. No big deal. However, it is Exhibit A of how any pro athlete can't say anything in jest in public, because it's going to be taken out of context - even at an event like this. The unfortunate end result is the jock - clichés we get from players that amount to zero information from a typical interview. Maybe if fans and the media didn't jump all over these guys for every little thing they say, then the players would be a bit more likely to tell us what they really think, and give us more insight to what's really going on.

So Hasslechump is just saying: "Yeah, even if the Steelers put in Hanna Montana at quarterback, we still would have gotten our asses handed to us" It's been 3 years, you'd think they'd accept defeat already

The guys sister-in-law is a co-host on "The View" and she is actually the most annoying one which is a more difficult accomplishment than winning the Superbowl, Matt should walk around with his head down and only shrug his shoulders if ever asked anything until that show is cancelled or Elizabeth Hasselbeck is fired.

Why am I not surprised that we disagree again? Elizabeth gets a bad rap IMO. And she's hot!!

I agree she's hot, she gets a bad rap because she's a conservative republican chickenhawk. The problem is that Barbara Walters and ABC pay her to be one to add spice to the show.
