Matt Hasselbeck used to spend all week preparing to then walk inside CenturyLink Field and hope that all the hard work would pay off.
This week, Hasselbeck will spend his days in preparation to go to work just outside CenturyLink Field. Well, for a while, anyway.
The former Seahawks quarterback now works for ESPN and is part of the Monday Night Countdown crew for this week’s Seattle-Atlanta game.
Monday’s game will be the third of three this year in which the show will start with an outside “tailgate’’ hour — or more likely, about 75 minutes — on a stage in the north parking lot of CenturyLink Field.
