What the heck was Seahawks' quarterback Matt Hasselbeck thinking when he said, "We want the ball and we're going to score" after he won the coin flip at the start of Seattle's overtime period against Green Bay in the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs? (Hasselbeck eventually threw an interception to the Packers' Al Harris, who returned it for the score that cost the Seahawks the game.)
