Props to Melissa Stark for Taking a Football to the Head Like a Champ

I’m sure you’ve all seen this clip making the rounds by now, but as a media company that celebrates grit, we can’t let it slide without mentioning it. NFL Network’s Melissa Stark was on the ground in London covering Sunday morning’s contest between the Tennessee Titans and the Los Angeles Chargers when this fateful incident occurred:

Like I said, true grit. Stark just ate one on the noggin and kept moving. She even went as far as to throw some humor into the incident by claiming she wouldn’t be showing up on the injury report. But this, folks, is how you handle something unexpected like this if you are a true badass. Those genes are just something you either have or you don’t, and now we know that Melissa Stark is made entirely of badass genes.

This also just goes to show you how truly unpredictable the NFL can be. You never know what’s going to happen on the field, next to the field, or really in any close proximity to the field at all. The point here is that crazy shit happens in the NFL.

You have to be prepared for it. So, we all applaud Stark’s gumption here. Is it worthy of a spot in the Clutch Hall of Fame? Ehhhhh – I don’t think so. Not quite – but, it’s pretty damn good.

Also, as far as important revelations go, this was a pretty big one. It turns out that it was our very own Brett Kern that executed the punt. He is the cause of Stark’s headache.

Way to go, Brett.

I know the King of New Nashville Taylor Lewan was just clamoring for national respect about a month ago, but it’s no excuse to go attacking reporters like this.
