Good morning, everybody. Welcome to another episode of HockBlogger Mornings. I am Brian

Emhouser. You can find me, this show, pretty much everywhere you get your content,

TikTok, YouTube, Instagram at HockBlogger. And thank you again for folks getting us over the 30,000

subscriber mark on YouTube.

Very, very cool, which means I'll be given away a pair of tickets to some deserving Seahawks

fan who is going to scream their heads off in this game on Thursday against the Rams.

So make sure if you are interested, let me know.

You got to make sure you're subscribed here on YouTube and ideally also on Instagram and

TikTok.

Part of the reason you do that is because every Tuesday you get to hear from the best

player I ever rooted for during my time as a Seahawks fan back in the day, Matt

Hasselback, former quarterback of your Seahawks fan back in the day, Matt Hasselback, former quarterback your Seahawks,

currently surrounded by footballs in his home. How are you doing, Matt? Yeah, football.

These were all in boxes till COVID came. And then we finally went through the boxes of some of our

moving trucks. And I said, all right, we'll put them up before, you know,

my dad had game balls when I was growing up and we just would play with them, like in the driveway. You know, I'm like, dad, you know, don't you want to save these? He's like, for what? You know, like for what? We didn't have like a big house. There was nowhere to display the stuff. We moved a lot. So, yeah, mine are up here for now. And then someday, hopefully,

I'll have grandkids that can be, you know, scuffing these up in the driveway someday. Love it. Love it. How often do you throw the football nowadays? A lot. Well, because I was coaching high school football. So, you know, all the time, really, because of that. But no, if I wasn't doing that. know i don't know if i you know i did used to do

monday night countdown and like pregame steve young would always want to throw passes and do the cross

bar game and kind of show off his arm a little bit because he still had it he actually would love

to run a route like we would always end the right before the show or at the end of the show he'd run a post

route in the red zone and i'd throw it to him. He's in a suit. He'd always wear sneakers for that reason. And, you know, I'm in dress shoes. And, yeah, so, but coach in high school football, and that's a little bit why I like the Phillip Rivers thing, like kind of made sense to me. man, you throw a lot of balls, like all day. Like, you're catching a lot of balls.

You're throwing a lot of balls.
