Week one of the NFL, Donovan McNabb fractures a rib on a run at the goal line (at least he scored), and spends the next week hoping to play. Week two of the NFL, Matt Hasselbeck fractures a rib on a run at the goal line (he didn’t score), and spends the next week hoping to play. How do I know he’ll spend this week hoping to play? He said so:
Hasselbeck Pulling a McNabb
↵↵“I have definitely felt worse. I have definitely woken up on a Monday and felt worse,” Hasselbeck said Monday in an empty locker room, standing stiffly with his hands on his hips.
↵“I’m absolutely hoping to play. … I think it’s one of things you just got to suck it up.”
↵↵As we know, McNabb didn’t play last week, and we still don’t know if he’ll play this week. It’s doubtful Hasselbeck will play, but he says he’s done it before with a fractured rib, so who knows. You better make alternative plans to be safe.
