In the final stretch of the offseason during which it’s actually the offseason for NFL players, many continue to work out in preparation for training camp and the preseason.
Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck has developed a unique regimen. Like Kramer’s daily dips into the East River, Hasselbeck has been swimming in Seattle’s Washington’s Columbia River.
“It’s not warm,” Hasselbeck told ESPN 710. “It’s not warm.”
Actually, the swimming makes sense, given the back problems that plagued Hasselbeck last season; Kramer’s routine eventually attracted a throng of copycats who were hoping to cure their own back pain.
It’s currently unknown, however, whether Hasselbeck has been funking up any mattresses as a result of his new water exercises.
UPDATE: Taco Bill has photographic of the Kramer-Hasselbeck encounter.
Except the Columbia River is 150 miles south of Seattle…
The Columbia is about 150 miles from Seattle so calling it “Seattle’s Columbia River” is like calling it “Dallas’s Mississippi River”. Thanks for the token irrelevent Seahawks story for the month of July. Now go back to reporting the size of Favre’s buggars and leave us alone out here.
Hm. There is no Columbia river in Seattle. Portland, maybe? Or Eastern Washington, perhaps.
why doesn’t he just go get a bed from the Lumbar Yard?
chicks, this will get you 6 wins….hassleback swimming, mora climbing…florio, keep us up to date on useless info
Maybe Hassellback needed to work off all that Kenny Rodger’s Roasters he’s been eating during the offseason… Kenny?
Florio could turn a wet fart into a seinfeld reference. **fart** Helllooooo!
We all know he should be sleeping on a wooden board for two weeks. Its common sense.
Jesus Florio! The show has been off the air for 11 years. Stop applying it to every other news item. Kramer isn’t the first guy ( real or fictional ) to swim in a damn river.
Wow, the seinfeld references never end, we get it, you watched the show, you and everyone else on this planet. Im surprised you didnt make a comment about the mattress smelling…Half the time it doesnt even make sense.
Just like Kramer, george and Jerry were out in manhattan, so were ahmad bradshaw, plaxico burress and antonio pierce..watch the youtube clip below of the three of them walking on the upper west side. Get a grip.
Let’s just hope he doesn’t try to hang any of his teammates upside down with a fork up their ass. That would really hurt team chemistry I think.
but who peed on the couch…
I didn’t watch Seinfeld (didn’t have a tv) so I don’t get most of the references, but it is funny to see how the show changed our culture, almost like the moon landing or the great depression or Woodstock.
Or PFT.
I put that last one in to get my comment posted.
Did Hasselbeck start calling everyone the
N-word too?
Just to show how out of touch you are with the common NFL fan, you toss out a Seinfeld reference. Swing and a miss- just a bit outside.
I thought he was yelling some racial terms around and running from people that were chasing him after!
This makes more sense though…
Add to the fact the Columbia isn’t dirty like the waters out in WV.
And one more thing. How about everyone stops bitching and moaning about how Florio writes articles on HIS site. I’ve been a long time reader of PFT as well as being a huge Seinfeld so I enjoy the references. The man got popular by writing his articles his way for the past 8 years, so I don’t think he’s gonna stop becasue some people who don’t enjoy the greatest sitcom ever get all pissy when he references it. I’m hoping that since he’s under NBC’s umbrella there’s something in his contract that says he has to reference the Sein in at least 50% of his posts! Keep it up Florio because I think the Seinfeld posts are GOLD!! (weak I know, but it’s all I could think of)
Kramer from Vaginefeld? This whole time I thought he was talking about Tommy Kramer. I was waiting for all the alcoholic comments. Damn.
