Meet Steven Hauschka, Seahawks kicker. Of course, Steven Hauschka doesn’t look as if the spelling of Steven Hauschka would come easy to him as he tries to follow a finger and keep blood from pouring out of his head. CBS ran maybe a second of this shot before they realized hey, bad move with that whole Frontline jawn and whatnot.
Seattle Times captured the shot
But whatever. He got back in to a game that would see the Seahawks beat the Titans 20-13. Prompting a heroism think-piece column excerpted here:
Punter Jon Ryan observed the crowd of reporters around Hauschka’s locker — scrutiny usually reserved for occasions when a game-winning field goal attempt is either made or missed — and cracked, “All that attention for a little nosebleed.”
Yeah. All this for a little nosebleed. Rub some dirt on it, nancyboy.
