Matt and Betsy Hasselbeck

" Welcome back our number three -- Sports Radio WEEI kind of nice when you can visit with folks from home. We're doing that right now. Betsy Hasselbeck is here to -- It's on the talk about him in a minute and that's not very nice is Betsy and -- and he was a member of the church that my brother was the pastor at awhile ago before he moved away in it it's great to visit with you again. How wife Betsy. I'm good thank you and her son or by the way plays quarterback in the National Football League in its pretty good when he goes to Matt here that it's."

" And -- some very sent me here my phone's been blown out moment Boston friends today I guess that we just with our partner Alia. Now as he eats pieces -- really I mean blown out. Now that's what I am just got -- I can just imagine yeah right now though you won't be getting any hate mail from from disappear a lot of Gatorade Jimenez yeah who what it what did you Boston fans say. Jump all over board Italian just you know they give -- stats and bisons won eight consecutive bowl game Hingis yeah and Michael sliding as all of them before it January 1 start I ever say he is sure to that's that's true that we turned the corner we agree is here you know hopefully -- that the glass is half full of -- slide is good dog I will say this I love with Geoff -- since he's done. I -- that's been fun has it was this year was fun to finally get into the conversations in my locker room. You know with these tests you know to finally not have to argue about the music city bowl you know so that was fun that was definitely good thing. So glad that I cut August they tell us much here in Seattle and how things went for yet there we we had a good year we you know had some adversity and we're obviously not playing in the superbowl so we're disappointed you know we thought we had a good run and it. If we could have won a game in Wisconsin in Green Bay we would've been you know been able to host the giants at home. Which would put up better on but we just didn't get it downing its Packers and so the giants get them to the patriots so you know instead about a half half half -- little -- that I get out to see this guy play for."

" Well not often and that -- right this was only two times I think years past and now almost every month but it was probably more due to. Grandchildren that these children then football games but. We're trying to make it lamppost in the middle child and he's been whining for years I have not ever -- to -- me and that he children -- that -- and -- and Arizona this year since Scottsdale as little more appealing than Seattle lenient."

" It was a it was interesting watching you in that playoff game and and knowing the history you have with Brett and watching Mike Holmgren with Brett before the game. Adamant kind of a weird feeling for you to even compete against the manipulate situations."

" I think it is every time I go you documented BC not a great player on drafted in the sixth round as a shock to me so for three years. I felt like I was sort of fooling the Packers you know I didn't never had play contract partners retired from them for three years -- on the number two quarterback you know there and and I just that these people know like -- if they come and to get to go back. Play against them against Bryant at that stadium in a playoff team just it's always gone so it's. I know a guy your dad played with Steve -- once said to me said there's no better job in the world and in the back -- quarterback. He did everybody thinks you're good day you don't -- do anything any always joked about it I think Tim with different -- Yeah I mean that's one perspective the other perspective is you know you gotta be ready with no -- no you know you're expected going to be as good as the starter you know I look at two young quarterbacks for New England. I mean if something were to happen you -- to be one of those guys and that's that. You know you you better ratings go way so it's it's. Agassi's job you never going. In about a heard the story but I haven't heard of -- so what I want the real deal it's not true out of Atlanta and that's true that's come and ask you before Deion Branch was acquired or or right after you acquired Tom Brady talked to you about branch -- that's -- ago that how to. This gives the play about I think you guys on now he you know Tom loves the number it as a teammate he thought the world of them and he was very upset when he left and and I know what that feels like I've lost his teammates you know through free agency or whatever and and now he just sent me sort little text messages kind of scouting report on him if you island. And he was right on -- he nailed it you know and so -- and everything that's on any of these great teammates very professionalism hard workers the leader. Not the biggest guy but he can play big you know in certain situations in you know it's good to have them so. -- I felt I guess I felt bad for Tom and away lost -- go to guy and he's he's account another -- gotta gotta love it's -- matter. Now the question is can you keep -- on the -- it's always been a question for well he didn't put that in scouting report you know -- AC down. He's Jason long long rehab you know I think it's -- nine months I sign him. Yesterday -- 67 months they always -- now don't it is good gas is a good thing in he's determined he's in there -- treatment he's getting the swelling down so we can have surgery it either way he's been a great addition to our team in terms of leadership and to understand what it takes to win."

" I you have your own job to do as a as a professional quarterback there's a lot of study involved preparation. But you see the patriots with this historic offense what do you see as a professional athletes saying people in your industry do things like."

" Yeah I -- to watch him is it so it kind deflate you out how easy they may get my parents my momma McNabb on the schedule it's patriots games like now I admit it. I would die -- So good they make is that. -- problem that you just tonight's that you great job with the pass protection do great while Watson they're set up plays that they're going to run. Two weeks later you know -- We've we've had a lot of similar opponents this year Tom Watson in Baltimore game. Now patriots offense struggling in Baltimore. It struggle against Baltimore's -- audience Baltimore it that's like three times in -- to them with them that there haven't agree -- just an amazing team."

" Matt's dad Don of course was a great player for the patriots and and Betsy and and -- I I assume you guys still patriots fans as long as they're not play in the exact time the Seattle Seahawks and NET had a tough with them playing the giants because the connections there. -- Betsy and and matter both here on behalf of Campbell's chunky soup and and we do want to take a moment here to talk about the -- donation will."

" This all about Campbell's do on this tackle hunger program it's really there initiative in they're given away again this year million cans of -- to food pantries all across America started I was graduates idea back in 1997. -- former teammate of mine just a great guy and and it's an honor to be able to shoot these Campbell's chunky soup commercials with my mom with the other guys like Ladainian LJ. Todd he Devin Hester those guys that but it's also a great time to raise awareness about a big problem and that's hunger and our in our in our country and all of our city so. We're kicking it off here down at Phoenix in but. We're going to do this throughout the country so it's it's a good things of the program."

" Are you the star of the commercial or receive it he has by I'll come along. -- and I -- I mom she's the he runs this you know as long as I've -- her she's pretty pretty outgoing personality I can see where she'd be pretty good on camera -- you know it was so fun to -- and -- commercial because it was what the boys used to deal and we had a -- and forget how -- is that. I think I did -- takes the when they showed him sliding in that mad. I had to do everything in my power not to do that with them."

" It's great to visit with you guys that good to see if Betsy it's great to see it again today as he acts are meant to say it. Matt Hasselbeck Betsy Hasselbeck joining us here on out on radio -- the and and they're -- both of them to their next appearance is great to visit with you guys against good to see"
