I showed up at Sea World-San Antonio yesterday and after an hour I didn't have any back discomfort, either.

By 6 p.m. the wife was pushing me around in a large baby stroller.

Let's wait until he takes some contact in the preseason.

The News Tribune reports Seattle Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck appears all the way back from his 2008 back and knee injuries. So far in OTAs, Hasselbeck certainly looks completely healed and in fine form. Back and knee injuries caused the Pro Bowl quarterback to miss nine games last season. The back situation was so confusing that it was even cited as a contributor to the knee problems. Hasselbeck had been durable throughout his career, and tough enough to play effectively in most cases even when he was injured. And so it probably wasn't considered such a huge issue after a pass in the first exhibition-season game when he made a pained gesture – the first sign of Hasselbeck's back problems. Tests later revealed a bulging disk. Everybody downplayed it. HC Mike Holmgren said he had his own bulging disk; he said that everybody who played the game had bulging disks, even the secretaries in the headqarters building had bulging disks. But even when Hasselbeck was on the field, he was rarely effective, as his passer rating plunged from 91.4 in 2007 to 57.8 in 2008. After a fall and winter of rehabbing, Hasselbeck fully understands how important this “offseason” is. “It's obviously a new system,” he said, citing the scheme put in place by new OC Greg Knapp. “I didn't play much last year; I had a tough injury. It was a very frustrating season.” But now, Hasselbeck's release is so consistent and the spiral so tight, he resembles a baseball pitcher with perfect “command” of all his pitches.

I'll be with Wes on Hass this season. He's my age (old not by RC standards but old by NFL standards) and had disk problems. I want to see him hold up to some thumps before investing in him.
