NBC's Scott Hanson somehow injured his hand during an enthusiastic Olympics 'Gold Zone' call

Scott Hanson is best known for bringing fans seven hours of commercial-free football every Sunday on “NFL RedZone.” But now, he is trying his hand at something new.

Hanson has been tabbed by NBC to host “Gold Zone,” an Olympics version of the iconic football show that streams on Peacock. Most fans would agree that the 2024 Paris Olympics are only improved by having Hanson’s iconic voice comment on them, but perhaps Hanson is getting a little too invested in his new role.

While calling a medal win for Team USA on Monday, Hanson apparently injured his hand to the point of bleeding while banging on his desk. Luckily, he seemed to be alright and designated himself ‘likely’ to return.

It’s nice to see Hanson working on his chops during the offseason as another NFL campaign will be here before we know it. Hopefully, he can avoid suffering further injury in his new role.
