[QUOTE="HawkBeliever, post: 198185, member: 1016"] One thing I appreciate about Packer fans is that they seem to get that whole incident with Hasselbeck a lot better than the rest of the league. A lot of other fan bases cite that and say he is a cocky jerk. But you have to look at the big picture of what he was trying to do. The Hawks had a history with very few bright spots in it at that point. They had not won a playoff game in two decades. But worst of all, they had this uncanny ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. It felt like they were cursed. So I think Matt made that cocky statement to try to break that trend and inject a bit of swagger and confidence to the team. And then he totally blew it. Not that I know the guy personally,but he seems to be a really relaxed guy who likes to joke around and routinely engages in self depracting humor in interviews. He was trying to lead the franchise into a new era that day. He was just a year early... Anyway, I agree its totally fair game to get a chuckle out of that statement, especially this week. But I do give props to all you Packer fans who don't totally demonize a pretty decent guy for what went down that day. [/QUOTE]
