Blogger Turf Toe brings up what is almost certainly the most underreported story of this year's Super Bowl: Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck has been hit by lightning. Twice.


Not just that, but his wife Sarah has also been hit by lightning. We're not sure if it's the baldness, or that guarantee he made against the Packers a couple of years ago, or the fact that his brother is married to that lady from "The View." But clearly, Hasselbeck has done something to anger the gods. Perhaps he implied to Joey Porter than this team might, um, possibly have a chance of winning a game, at some point, maybe. Perhaps Joey Porter controls the weather too.

Honestly, though: The dude has been struck by lightning twice. That didn't come up at Media Day? Really?
