Super Bowl XL Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck Launches Official Website and Blog to Chronicle Super Bowl Experience

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck has a new website. The website is located at http://www.matthasselbeck.com.

(PRWEB) January 30, 2006 -- Playing in the Super Bowl is the pinnacle of a professional football career and a unique experience shared by only a handful of players. Today, Pro-Bowl quarterback Matt Hasselbeck of the Seattle Seahawks announced the launch of a new website and blog, available at http://www.matthasselbeck.com, to commemorate his journey to Super Bowl XL and provide fans and supporters with an intimate view of the Super Bowl through the eyes of a player.

Designed and built by La Jolla, California-based, Brand5 (http://www.brand5.com), Hasselbeck's new site and blog will feature frequent personal observations, thoughts and notes from Detroit, Michigan, site of Super Bowl XL.

This is cutting-edge stuff. Very few professional athletes are doing this type of thing.

"Recently, I wasn’t even sure what a blog was," said Hasselbeck. "But now I’m excited to share this event and communicate with my fans and all of the people who support me around the world. This is really a great way to thank everyone that has backed me during my career.”

Additionally, the new website features a photo gallery of in-action shots from the season, a guestbook where fans can send a message to Hasselbeck, and links to news articles about the Quarterback from websites across the Internet. Plans are also in place to expand the exclusive content available during Matt’s trip to the Pro-Bowl in February 2006.

"I couldn’t be happier with the website, especially during this monumental event in my career and the upcoming Pro Bowl,” added the two-time Pro Bowl quarterback. "I am really excited to keep fans updated about these great experiences I am having."

"Seattle Seahawks fans are very passionate," said Hasselbeck's agent John Drana of the Milwaukee-based sports management firm The Drana Group. "That's why this website is a natural fit for Matt. It gives the fans who care so much about Matt and the Seahawks a way to interact with him and an inside look at the Super Bowl.”

Drana added, “This is cutting-edge stuff. Very few professional athletes are doing this type of thing."

Originally scheduled to launch in Spring 2006, the Seahawks run of recent success in the playoffs inspired all parties involved to expedite the project so fans would have Hasselbeck’s first-person perspective of the highest profile event in all of sports.

"With this website, fans get a glimpse inside the life of a quarterback in the Super Bowl," said Mark Faggiano, president of Brand5. "From this point forward, the website and blog will be known as the best resource to get information about all things related to Matt Hasselbeck."
