Hasselbeck hampered, but will play

Seahawks receiver Nate Burleson need not start sweating, yet.

Burleson recently guaranteed that the 3-5 Seahawks will beat the 5-3 Cardinals on Sunday.  With Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck limited in practice Wednesday due to sore ribs and a bum shoulder, Burleson's boasts could blow up in his face.

But coach Jim Mora says any talk of Hasselbeck missing the game is diddly-poo.  Per the Associated Press, Mora said that there's nothing "structurally wrong" with Hasselbeck's shoulder.

Hasselbeck split reps on Wednesday with backup Seneca Wallace.

Earlier this year, the Cardinals beat the Seahawks in Seattle.  An Arizona win would give the Cardinals a three-game lead in the standings and possession of the head-to-head tiebreaker.

    The diddly-poo reference is classic.

    Hasselbeck should be splitting reps with Mike Teel.

    Why would an average WR on a sub par team make any guarantees? Must be hanging with TJ too much. Didn't know diarrhea of the mouth was that contagious

    Aren't you going to say Hasselbeck is making excuses ahead of time in case he loses? Or is that just reserved for your Favre bashing?
