Legendary Sportscaster Jim McKay Dead at 86
Born James Kenneth McManus
September 24, 1921(1921-09-24)
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Served in U.S.Navy, 1943-46
Jim McKay, the veteran and eloquent sportscaster thrust into the role of telling Americans about the tragedy at the 1972 Munich Olympics, has died. He was 86.
McKay died Saturday of natural causes at his farm in Monkton, Md.
He was host of ABC's influential "Wide World of Sports" for more than 40 years, starting in 1961. The weekend series introduced viewers to all manner of strange, compelling and far-flung sports events.
McKay also covered 12 Olympics, but none more memorably than the Summer Games in Munich, Germany. He was the anchor when events turned grim with the news that Palestinian terrorists kidnapped 11 Israeli athletes. It was left to McKay to tell Americans when a commando raid to rescue the athletes ended in tragedy.
"They're all gone," McKay said.
The terse, haunting comment was replayed many times through the years when the events of Munich were chronicled.
"I had to control myself. I was full of emotion," McKay recalled. "But when you are a professional, it is important to communicate what it is like, to capture the moment."
Sports, McKay said, lost its innocence that day.
"Jim was at his best during what had to be his most difficult assignment, hosting with skill and sensitivity ABC's blanket coverage of the 1972 Munich Olympics hostage crisis," President Bush said in a statement. " We are also grateful for Jim's service to his country as a Naval officer aboard a minesweeper during World War II."
He won both a news and sports Emmy Award for his coverage of the Munich Olympics in addition to the prestigious George Polk award.
A veteran of the U.S. Navy in World War II, McKay was the first on-air television broadcaster seen in Baltimore. He worked at CBS Sports briefly, but did his most memorable work at ABC Sports when it dominated the business under leader Roone Arledge.
Wild Thing's comment.......
Jim McKay was so good and he will be missed. He was such a huge part of sports and the Olympics too.

Superbowl Super Sunday Tour To Iraq To Visit Troops
Jason Elam, a former Hawaii kicker and all-pro with the Denver Broncos, will visit United States troops in Iraq from Jan. 28 to Feb. 8, on a goodwill military Super Sunday Tour in celebration of the Super Bowl.
"I jumped at the opportunity to participate in this visit to Iraq," says Elam, who played for UH from 1989-92. "I have a brother in the Army and have nothing but respect for the men and women serving overseas. This seemed like a great way to express my support firsthand."
Organized by Pro Sports MVP, Elam will be joined on the 10-day tour by Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tim Dwight, former Oakland Raiders offensive guard Steve Wisniewski, and Minnesota Vikings cheerleaders Sarah Johnson and Krisandra Shimpa.
The tour group will watch the New England Patriots play the New York Giants with troops in the wee hours of the morning in Iraq.
Elam, who recently released his first novel "Monday Night Jihad" co-authored with Steve Yohn, will be signing copies of his book during the tour.
Elam's novel has a strong military theme as the central character Riley Covington is an Air Force Academy graduate who fulfills his military commitment serving in Air Forces Special Ops in Afghanistan and then goes on to play professional football. A terrorist attack on his home turf pulls Covington back into his Special Ops life. Elam based the character on former Air Force graduates Steve Russ, Chad Henning and Chis Gizzi. Elam will write a blog and post pictures from the tour on the website.

Troops To See Super Bowl Thanks To Texas Businessman
Troops To See Super Bowl Thanks To Businessman
HOUSTON
An Army sergeant and his buddies will get to watch the Super Bowl in Iraq, thanks to a Houston businessman, KPRC Local 2 reported Wednesday.
"I am in the United States Army. I am from Houston, Texas, currently serving a 15-month deployment in Baghdad, Iraq," Sgt. Aaron Simmons wrote in a letter to Jim "Mattress Mac" McIngvale, the owner of Gallery Furniture. "We have been trying to come up with ideas of how to get a TV, and I thought it would be a good idea to ask you."
Mattress Mac had just the TV -- a 42-inch high-definition flat screen.
But there was a problem. The letter had a military address, but no quick-shipping address and no fast way of contacting Simmons.
McIngvale called the head of the United Service Organizations for help finding Simmons.
Retired Lt. Col. Susie Barlow, Houston's USO president, called the Army.
"I need a specific location on how I can track this down," Barlow said. "(The Army) said, 'I can't help you with that, but we can make it so that we can get him,' on such and such a date to a point to get the TV."
The TV costs about $2,000, but the shipping for the TV, DVD player and other gifts costs even more.
McIngvale said the money did not matter.
"These kids are over there putting their life on the line so we can enjoy these freedoms," he said. "Yet he (Simmons) says, 'I know how expensive a TV can be, so I will not be disappointed if you cannot send one.'"
The TV was to arrive on Tuesday, five days before the Super Bowl.
Wild Thing's comment........
Here is the VIDEO of the news about this story. CLICK HERE to be taken to website where video is locatied. It is a wonderful video and also tells added information that will make your heart smile. He also supports the USO and the video tells about that too.

*~ Superbowl Sunday ~*
Super Bowl XLII will reach one billion people worldwide.
"When the AFL and NFL decided that they would combine into a single league in 1971, they also agreed to start playing a championship game after the 1966 season. Officially called the AFL-NFL Championship, it was soon nicknamed the Super Bowl. The first Super Bowl, though, between the NFL's Green Bay Packers and the AFL's Kansas City Chiefs, wasn't so excitedly anticipated. The main question seemed to be how large Green Bay's margin of victory would be. NFL Super Bowl Tickets cost only $12, and the game still wasn't a sellout at that time. The Packers won the game 35 to 10. They also won Super Bowl II 33-14 over the Oakland Raiders. It wasn't until Joe Namath guaranteed victory for the AFL's underdog New York Jets in Super Bowl III and then delivered a 16-7 win over the Baltimore Colts that interest rose, particularly with the impending joining of the two leagues."

Cost of a commercial shown during the Superbowl
Last year, the big game was the highest rated TV show in the U.S. with more than 93 million people tuning in, according to Nielsen. And this year, with two teams from huge markets competing, the Super Bowl could draw even more viewers.
The average cost for a 30 second spot during this year's game is $2.7 million, according to Fox, the News Corp (NWS, Fortune 500).-owned network that will broadcast the Super Bowl. That's up slightly from last year when the going rate was $2.6 million and more than double the 1997 price of $1.2 million.
These were the teams that everyone picked for this last season. I hope you all had fun and thank you for being a part of football at Theodore's World. For those of you whose team did not make it to the Superbowl I am so sorry, and let's hope for next year. For those rooting for the Patriots and the Giants, CONGRATULATIONS!!

Lt. Col. Greg Gadson Is Giants' Inspirational Co-Captain
Lieutenant Colonel Greg Gadson Is Giants' Inspirational Co-Captain
Eli Manning celebrates NFC title with U.S. Army Lt. Col Greg Gadson, who lost both legs to a roadside bomb in Iraq but, as honorary co-captain, has become part of the Super Bowl-bound team.
His name is Lt. Col. Greg Gadson and he used to wear No. 98 for the Army football team and was with the Second Battalion and 32nd Field Artillery, on his way back from a memorial service for two soldiers from his brigade when he lost both his legs to a roadside bomb in Bahgdad. It was the night of May 7, 2007, and Lt. Col. Gadson didn't know it at the time because he couldn't possibly have known, but it was the beginning of a journey that brought him to Lambeau Field Sunday night. He was there as an honorary co-captain of the Giants, there on the sideline at Lambeau because this Giants' season has become his season now and he wasn't going to watch from some box. This is a Giant at the Super Bowl worth knowing about, as much as any of them. He played at West Point between 1985 and 1988, and one of his teammates was Mike Sullivan, who played cornerback and some safety and is now one of Tom Coughlin's assistants with the Giants. When Sullivan and so many other of Gadson's teammates found out what had happened on the night of May 7, found that Gadson had first lost his left leg to arterial infections and then his right, it brought that old Army team back together. Sullivan visited Gadson at Walter Reed, came back in June, this time with a No. 98 Giants jersey, Gadson's own name on the back, signed by several Giants players. When Sullivan left that day in June, he said to Gadson, "What else can we do?" Greg Gadson said he'd love to take his family to a Giants game. It was the Giants-Redskins game, in Washington, third Sunday of the season, Giants 0-2 by then. The tickets were arranged and then the Friday before the game Mike Sullivan called and asked if Gadson would be interested in addressing the team on Saturday night. Gadson's wife Kim drove him to the Giants' hotel. Lt. Col. Greg Gadson, Second Battalion, 32nd Field Artillery, old outside linebacker from Army, spoke to the Giants. And just as no one knew that the Giants would begin a 10-game road winning streak the next day, just as no one knew this could ever become a Super Bowl season, no one in that room including Gadson himself knew that the soldier in the wheelchair was joining the season that night. He watched from the sidelines at Lambeau as the team he met at 0-2 played the way it played against the Packers and played itself to the Super Bowl, watched as the Giants came back from that missed field goal at the end of regulation, finally saw Lawrence Tynes kick it through from 47 yards out. The boy ran for both of them. .
Wild Thing's comment........ I really liked what Lt. Col. Greg Gadson said to the team as well it is a great and touching story about one of our soldiers.

Thefts of Official Credentials, Uniforms Could Facilitate Super Bowl Attack Homeland Security Today ...for complete article WASHINGTON, DC. JANUARY 21, 2008 Security for Super Bowl XLII, to be played at the University of Phoenix Stadium Feb. 3, is being described as “unprecedented,” and will include both covert and overt measures like ATF bomb-sniffing dogs trained to ferret out liquid explosives. But the federal government’s terrorism threat assessment of the upcoming game between the New England Patriots and New York Giants outlines concerns about stolen official law enforcement credentials, uniforms, weapons, and other equipment that could be used to “infiltrate” the stadium complex to carry out an attack. “High-profile” events like this, which the Arizona Counterterrorism Information Center said is expected to draw over half-a-million visitors, “make [them] a desirable target for domestic or international terrorists,” the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) threat assessment says. While the assessment makes clear that the Intelligence Community “has not identified a credible terrorist threat to Super Bowl XLII and its related events,” one of the three “key findings” of the nine-page threat assessment, a copy of which was obtained by HSToday.us, is that “the threats of greatest concern” during events like this “include individuals impersonating law enforcement and other security personnel and insiders to facilitate attacks.” further down in artricle.......... Consequently, "illicit use of such credentials to gain access to the grounds of the Super Bowl or to associated events may be difficult to detect,” the assessment says. The Super Bowl threat assessment points out that during a NASCAR race in Talladega, Alabama in May 2005, “an individual using a hat and jacket bearing the FBI insignia impersonated an FBI special agent to gain access to areas of the track. He was not questioned by security personnel or staff and was able to move freely within restricted areas.”"Me being a part of this team," Gadson was saying Monday night from his home in Virginia, having made it back there from Green Bay, "really starts with the team I played on at West Point."
"My injury turned out to be a catalyst event," Gadson said. "These were guys who hadn't talked in years, but now were rallying around me, and my family. Some of us had stayed in contact, but not to any great degree. But now an incident in a war reminded us that we were still brothers."
"I just spoke from the heart, as a soldier and as a former football player," he said, "for about 10 or 15 minutes. I talked to them about appreciating the opportunities in their lives, how special and privileged they were, how everybody needs to understand what they truly have. And I talked to them about the power of sports in people's lives, especially soldiers' lives, how many times I'd watched soldiers get up in the middle of the night after a 12-hour shift if there is a chance to watch a game, or how soldiers would do anything to watch a game before they went on that kind of shift.
"I told them that of course after all the exteriors had been stripped away, they played the game for themselves. But that they had to play the game for each other. Then I talked about myself, how my old teammates came to my need, and how I was reminded again the power of a team, the emotional commitment teammates have for each other, that when a team finds a way to do things greater than they thought they could do, that they couldn't have done individually, that a bond is formed that can live forever.
"I told them that truly great teams usually form that bond by going through something together, and how whatever they were going through at that point in the season that no success ever came easy. And finally I reminded them that nothing is promised to anybody in this life, starting with tomorrow."
"When the ball went through, you could feel the elation on our sidelines, and hear the stadium go quiet at the same time," Gadson said. "It was like the air being let out of a whole state's soul. And then the next thing I saw was my son jumping in the air and running on that field."

Superbowl Threat Assessment After Stolen Equipment
“It is important to remember that terrorists are trained to blend in and assimilate to their surroundings,” the Arizona Counterterrorism Information Center said in a Jan. 8 “terrorism awareness” bulletin.
Wild Thing's comment........
What I don't get is why if this has happened before they are so lax about guarding these things in the future. Obviously this is one way for terrorists to do something horrible and precautions should be taken seriously.

Networks Agree To Rare Simulcast Of Patriots - Giants Game
.
NBC & CBS to Air Patriots-Giants
The networks agree to rare simulcast of professional sports event
And also an article HERE
CBS and NBC have agreed to carry this Saturday's historic game between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants in High-Definition.
The two networks will show a simulcast of the NFL Network's HDTV broadcast of the game, Seth Palansky, a NFL Network spokesman, told TVPredictions.com this evening.
Standard-def viewers will get the SD broadcast, the spokesman said.
The Patriots are seeking to be the first team since the 1972 Miami Dolphins to go undefeated for an entire season.
Until now, it appeared that millions of cable viewers would miss the game because Time Warner, Charter and Cablevision have refused to carry the NFL Network, which has the rights to the Patriots-Giants broadcast.
The cable operators say the network is demanding unreasonable terms to carry it.
But a league spokesman tells the New York Times that the network, which is owned by the league, approached CBS and NBC to carry the game and they agreed.
It will be the first time that two major broadcast networks will simulcast a NFL game since the 1967 Super Bowl.
Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. on Saturday.
FINAL
38 New England Patriots
35 New York Giants
AWESOME win! The first undefeated NFL team in 35 years!
And hats off to the Giants, who played a helluva game to the end.
I really thought the Giants were going to win this, but then Brady shows why he is this decade’s Joe Montana. That throw to Moss was something.
Patriots Make History With 16-0 Season
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - With one mighty heave, Tom Brady and Randy Moss took care of the record books. Now it's down to business for the unbeaten New England Patriots: stamping themselves as the greatest team in NFL history.The Patriots completed a perfect if somewhat joyless journey through the regular season Saturday night, finishing with a remarkable 16-0 record following a thrilling 38-35 comeback victory over the New York Giants.
New England became the first NFL team since the 1972 Dolphins to win every game on the schedule, and that one was only 14-0. This victory required a comeback from a 12-point deficit engineered by the brilliant Brady, and smashed the Patriots' league mark for consecutive victories.
Validation of their inexorable march through the season can only come by adding a Super Bowl championship, their fourth of the decade. Do that and there'll be no challenge to their spot at the top.

Army vs. Navy Game Today At Noon EST
The CBS telecast of the Army vs. Navy game begins at noon EST
The cheerleaders are in the Navy, and they are Naval Academy Midshipmen. They are future U.S. Navy Ensigns or USMC 2LTs in abywhere from 1 - 3 years.
2007 US Army Public Affairs video of Soldiers in Afghanistan (and Iraq) supporting the Cadets of West Point as they get ready to taken on the Midshipmen of Annapolis on December 1st in Baltimore, MD
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30, 2007 – Army and Navy drummers, buglers and cheerleaders stormed the halls of the Pentagon over the past two days, rallying or roiling soldiers and sailors in their wake before tomorrow’s Army-Navy football game.
The Navy Midshipmen, who enter the game with a 7-4 record, will try for their fifth consecutive win against the 3-8 Army Black Knights in the 108th year the teams face off on the gridiron. Despite being 14-point underdogs, the indomitable Black Knights, on hand at the Pentagon today, are poised to soldier on at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore tomorrow.
Lifting a yellow and black megaphone to his mouth, Army Secretary Pete Geren faced the crowd of Black Knight supporters and yelled, “GO ARMY!”
Geren led the throng to the office Army Chief of Staff Gen. George W. Casey Jr., who thanked the group for visiting him. He encouraged the vociferous crowd to make extra noise while passing by the office the Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gary Roughead, his Navy counterpart.
Upon meeting Casey, Army Cadet Cpl. Jacob Frechette, a trumpeter in the band, made a deferential request of the chief of staff. Frechette asked Casey to order him to do push-ups while his fellow soldier took a picture.
“Nobody outranks him, so if somebody’s going to make you do push-ups, it might as well be the highest-ranking guy in the Army,” the cadet said.
But Frechette, who predicted an Army victory in the gridiron showdown, said the only reason the Army might do push-ups tomorrow would be to express celebration. “When we score a touchdown, we’ll be out there pushing,” he said.
Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates gave a somewhat ambiguous message to the crowd after he accepted an Army scarf from a soldier who donned a “Goatbusters” costume, a flippant reference to the Navy ram mascot.
“May the best team win,” Gates said in tongue-in-cheek fashion. “How’s that for diplomacy?”
Army Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Richard A. Cody had an unequivocal statement for the cheerleaders and band after they performed a choreographed medley that included the Army fight song. “I thought that was one of our best military operations to date!” he shouted.
“It’s going to be a very tight game until the fourth quarter,” Cody predicted to American Forces Press Service. “Then Army’s going to win by seven.”
Army Cadet Sgt. Wiley Grant, a trombonist in the band, said he’s looking forward to seeing the first Army victory against Navy in his three years at U.S. Military Academy, at West Point, N.Y. Pep rallies like today’s are the best way to get the hearts and minds of the fans -- known as the 12th man on a football team comprising 11 players -- prepared for the historic matchup, he added.
“Especially after five losses that we’ve had in the past, it’s really important to get people fired up and to get people into the spirit and get them to believe,” he said. “The players on the field are going to do their best, but without the crowd support, the support from the fans, and support from the Army at-large, we’re not going to be able to win.”
Grant said the Army-Navy game is one of the oldest football traditions in history, one that inculcates a sense of teamwork across military branches. “To borrow General (Douglas) MacArthur’s quote, ‘Upon the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that on other fields will bear the fruits of victory,’” he said. “There’s no more evident example of that than the Army-Navy game.”
Following in another rich tradition -- the tradition of one-upmanship -- Cadet Brian Kossler led several fellow cadets up escalators toward the Pentagon’s fifth floor, where a banner hung that read, “GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY” Kossler ascended a ladder and worked at unfastening the bolt that held the banner in place.
Minutes later, the 40-foot plastic homage to the Midshipmen lay in a heap on the fifth floor. A sailor who witnessed the act chided, “You can take our banner, but you’re still going to lose tomorrow!”
But those who say Army doesn’t have a prayer in tomorrow’s game are wrong, at least according to the Army’s chief of chaplains. “I pray that God shows favor on the Army,” said Maj. Gen. Douglas Carver. “And my biggest prayer is that everybody be safe as they play.”
Yesterday, the Midshipmen’s esprit de corps was boosted by some of the Defense Department’s top officials.
“I know it’s a great week, the spirit’s great, and it’s a spectacularly important game,” said Navy Adm. Michael G. Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. “We want it to be played hard and played well, and in the end, let the best team win.
“And we have no doubt that’s Navy!” Mullen, a 1968 graduate of the Naval Academy, in Annapolis, Md., shouted as the throng of Navy supporters gathered outside his office erupted in cheers.
Mullen told the crowd that in the spirit of “jointness” among military branches, he would sit on Army’s side for the game’s first half. “And then I’ll be on the Navy side to see the victory,” he said. “Just remember two words: Beat Army!”
“Anchors Aweigh,” the Navy fight song, bounced around the stairwell near the Pentagon’s Mall Entrance as the parade ascended to the second floor toward offices housing members of the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
“On Saturday, I will be neutral, but with some bias,” said Gordon England, former Navy secretary and current deputy secretary of defense. “I hope it is a great game, and that’s what we all want -- a great game between our two great service academies.”
Donald C. Winter, secretary of the Navy, excited the crowd by listing significant Navy victories this season against the Air Force and Notre Dame. Amid the ruckus he added, “The season starts again on Saturday!”
“And one other thing,” he said. “All the good words I said last week in theater about being part of the joint fight and the joint team -- on Saturday, those words are held in abeyance!”
Roughead, chief of naval operations and a 1973 Naval Academy graduate, thanked the Midshipmen musicians and cheerleaders for visiting his office. “You guys are getting spoiled; you never lose!” he said. “We’ll see you there on Saturday; it’s going to be a great day, and we’re going to win!”
After interrupting staff meetings and conference calls in the Army Department corridor, the procession passed before a Pentagon display honoring Navy fleet admirals and sailors who went on to serve as president. Tubas blared before resolute photos of Chester Nimitz and William Halsey, and bass drums banged off near stately portraits of Gerald Ford and John F. Kennedy.
Navy Lt. Elizabeth Griffiths, the secretary of the Navy’s protocol officer and a 2001 Naval Academy graduate, helped organize the rally, which is highly anticipated by Pentagon staffers, she said.
“I think this really gets people excited for the game, motivated for the game, and they just bring that much more spirit to the stadium, which really can help the players,” she said. “I think that the best part about this game is how fierce the rivalry is, but when it comes down to it, everybody’s playing on the same team.
“People enjoy the game so much because the teams are bonded for reasons that go way beyond just football,” she said.
....Thank you John 5 (VN69/70) so much for the video.

A Blonde's First Football Game - I love blonde jokes and this is a good one. Thanks To Lynn for sending this to me.
A guy took his blonde girlfriend to her first football game.
They had great seats right behind their team's bench.
After the game, he asked her how she liked the experience."Oh, I really liked it," she replied, "especially the tight pants and
all the big muscles, but I just couldn't understand why they were
killing each other over like 25 cents."Dumbfounded, her date asked, "What do you mean?"
"Well, they flipped a coin, one team got it and then for the rest of
the game, all they kept screaming was: 'Get the quarterback! Get the
quarterback!' I'm like...Helloooooo? It's only 25 cents!!!!

Rockies Heading To Its First World Series
Rockies earn first World Series berth
Colorado sweeps Diamondbacks to win NL pennant
DENVER (AP) -- Riding a Rocky Mountain High like none other, Colorado is heading to its first World Series.
With their 21st win in 22 games, the relentless Rockies beat the rattled Arizona Diamondbacks 6-4 in Game 4 Monday night to sweep the NL championship series at a chilly Coors Field.
The Rockies are the first team since the 1935 Chicago Cubs to win at least 21 of 22 after Sept. 1, according to Elias Sports Bureau.
Wild Thing's comment........
I am a Cub fan, Rockies and a Red Sox fan, and Nick is a Dodger fan. This is just so awesome, the way the Rockies have played all year. It is just so cool, I love it. The Red Sox so far are still in it. So we will see what happens. If it ends up that it is Rockies and Red Sox I will go with the Rockies since they have never won the World Series.

Football Fourth Week
Because the photo they used is not very clear, there is a fun video of the cheerleaders you can watch if you like. It is a fun video.
http://www.momentintimedesign.com/2007PhotoShoot/index.html
Each week I will try to feature the various Teams Cheerleaders or stories about them visiting the troops. Some teams don't have cheerleaders so then you get the pinups instead.
The Kansas City Chiefs Cheerleaders will be entertaining troops stationed throughout the Mediterranean August 30- September 9. The 16 veteran Chiefs Cheerleaders will be visiting bases in Portugal, Sinai, Spain and Egypt, meeting and greeting troops as well as performing their highly-acclaimed variety show. This will be their third tour with Armed Forces Entertainment.
“Our favorite aspect of touring for the military is talking one-on-one with the troops. We’re really grateful for the chance to thank the men and women who sacrifice so much for our country,” said Elaine Hart, Kansas City Chiefs Cheerleader Director. “You can ask any of the Chiefs Cheerleaders—getting to do our show for the military is by far the most meaningful performance opportunity.”

Woooohoooo! Football season! Let the road to Super Bowl XLII begin
A couple of football stories
Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Donnie Edwards (left) and New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (right) pose for a photo with Petty Officer 3rd Class Corey Adam at the Expeditionary Medical Force – Kuwait hospital at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait. Adam, a Navy medical corpsman, said his dad, Delwin, is a diehard Saints fan. The NFL stars are touring the Middle East as a part of the Active NFL Players Tour sponsored by the United Service Organizations. U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Patrick Moes

Seahawks duo blitzed by Bush backlash
Seattle ...for complete story
The Seahawks quarterback and fullback gave the 43rd president a No. 43 jersey with his name on it at a $1,000-a-plate fundraiser for Rep. Dave Reichert at the Hyatt.At the time, Hasselbeck called it a thrill and said it was a win-win, this opportunity to meet the president and get out of a team meeting.
But as soon as he saw the picture of the two players with Bush, Gary Wright, the team's vice president of administration, said he was concerned about negative reaction.
Maybe in really red Republican states, it would not have been a big deal. But Washington is a blue state, and deep, deep Democratic blue in King County. So objections were raised, and Hasselbeck heard them and read them. He got nasty voice mails, e-mails and text messages.
"I had no idea," Hasselbeck said.
One guy told him: "I hate you, I'll never wear your jersey, I'll never like the Seahawks again."
"Huh?" Hasselbeck thought. "Seriously?"
"Politics can be very mean and dirty," he said. "The things politicians say about each other, and what activists say, I had a brief glimpse of that for a couple of days.
"If I ever had any questions about whether I wanted to run for office, I now know the answer -- I don't."
As a quarterback, he's used to getting booed. "But this was a whole new level," he said. "I was very surprised how mean (they were)."

Bill Walsh "The Genius" Passes Away
3-time Super Bowl champion coach Walsh dies
msnbc
Bill Walsh, the groundbreaking football coach who won three Super Bowls and perfected the ingenious schemes that became known as the West Coast offense during a Hall of Fame career with the San Francisco 49ers, has died. He was 75.
Walsh died at his Bay Area home early Monday following a long battle with leukemia, according to Stanford University, where he served as coach and athletic director.
Walsh
