So, an update: Matt Hasselbeck still isn’t back to 100 percent.
It’s now been 26 days since the Colts’ backup quarterback ate the chicken burrito that led to his bacterial infection that led to him admitting there was “lots of stuff coming out of the attic, then a lot of stuff coming out of the basement.” It was early October, Andrew Luck’s throwing shoulder was sore, and Hasselbeck didn’t have a choice.
He had to play. So the 40-year-old, 18-year NFL veteran slogged through the effects of food poisoning and dug deep enough to deliver his team two much-needed wins over Jacksonville and Tennessee.
