RENTON, Wash. — Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck is apologizing to the Arizona Cardinals for saying they should be fined for hard hits against him Sunday.

Hasselbeck said Monday he still regrets saying an hour after Seattle's 26-20 loss in which he threw three interceptions that he was looking forward to the league fining some Cardinals.

Hasselbeck's apology was in response to a question about Arizona safety Adrian Wilson blitzing free and sacking Hasselbeck in the second quarter. Wilson jumped and his forearms appeared to hit Hasselbeck's head as the quarterback ducked to absorb the blow. Hasselbeck finished the game.

He said the hard hit's effect was no worse than many others he takes.
