Matt Hasselbeck Getting Trolled 13 Years After Infamous Pick-6 vs Packers in Playoffs is Legendary
It's no secret that the playoff history between the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks has featured its fair share of hard-hitting and captivating contests (with some notorious gaffes along the way, *cough cough* Matt Hasselbeck).
Yet this latest tale comes 13 years after Matt Hasselbeck's now-infamous "we want the ball and we're gonna score" comment. In town for a broadcast of Monday Night Countdown in 2017, Hasselbeck was greeted with a photo of Harris in his hotel room, which was conveniently located across the street from Lambeau Field.
If you thought you'd heard everything about the Packers-Seahawks playoff moments, including Matt Hasselbeck's coin-toss claim, I promise you haven't heard this:

Hint: It involves an Al Harris photo hanging in a certain someone's hotel room and a Sharpiehttps://t.co/9DRNPAcQoE
The story goes that Hasselbeck would later return to the same hotel only to find another picture of Harris in his room. Realizing that he had been pranked, Hasselbeck turned the tables on whomever had placed Harris' picture in his room (twice) by signing his name in sharpie on top of the picture.
Packers fans still had their jokes despite the Seahawks having the upper hand in recent playoff matchups.

As the Packers host Seattle for what should be another iconic playoff bout, memories of Hasselbeck's hubris remain at the forefront of this postseason rivalry.
