Olympics broadcaster Scott Hanson reveals bloodied finger while rooting for Team USA
Scott Hanson is mostly known to sports fans through their NFL viewing experience.
He helps take NFL watchers through the witching hour during their “seven hours of commercial free football” on the “NFL Red Zone” each Sunday in the fall and winter.

This time around, Hanson got the opportunity to send Paris Olympic viewers in and out of several different sporting events throughout the two weeks of coverage as part of the “Gold Zone.” On Monday, things appeared to get a little too intense.
Hanson posted a photo on X showing his bloodied finger.
“I was pounding the desk on Gold Zone when Team USA was winning a medal,” he wrote. “I’m designated ‘likely’ to return.”
