Video: Owen Schmitt Splits Forehead With Helmet
SPORTSbyBROOKS —
Here’s a photo and video of Seattle Seahawks player Owen Schmitt, who split his forehead in pregame warmups today by … wait for it … hitting himself with his own helmet.
(Scariest part? Fullback Schmitt played in the game, catching one pass)
What would possess Schmitt to consider doing such a crazy thing in the first place?
Why, because he did it *successfully* in college at West Virginia. (Where he was a walk-on, no less.)

Psycho Seahawks Player Nearly Commits Suicide On The Field
BlitzNation —
Seattle Seahawks fullback Owen Schmitt tries to crack his skull open during the pregame introductions before their game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday afternoon. As you can see from the video above, after he hits himself a few times with his helmet blood begins to gush out of brain head.
I had to strike out the word “brain” because obviously he doesn’t have one.

Video: Owen Schmitt’s Bloody Sunday
MOUTHPIECE Blog // A Chicago-Addled Sports Blog —
The Seahawks absolutely dismantled the Jaguars yesterday, to the tune of 41-0. And it wasn’t because they schemed better, or because Matt Hasselbeck’s rib is better and he’s back, or because of the defense that stymied Jacksonville at every turn.
No friends. It was because Owen Schmitt banged his helmet against his head during introductions, and created a professional-wrestling style deluge of blood from his forehead:
Seeing that Scmitt is a fullback, I suppose he’s used to nailing his head against things. But still: ouch.
OWEN SCHMITT: A LEGACY OF CRAZY
With Leather - Sports news and gossip, panda sex, and the occasional Toonces the driving cat Photoshop —
Seahawks fullback Owen Schmitt might be short on talent, but he’s even shorter on brains. And pain threshold. Here’s Schmitt, he of the reportedly steel forehead, after being introduced before his first career start yesterday against the Jaguars. And Schmitt marked the occasion by beating himself in the head, with his helmet. And this is the same dude that was praised for being a “workout freak” after bulking up 15 pounds during his tour as an upperclassman at West Virginia. I’m sure he just worked really hard in the weight room and paid strict attention to his diet, just like all those other hard-working fellows.
Oh, by ...

Owen Schmitt Is A Crazy Man
12th Man Rising | A Seattle Seahawks Blog —
To best describe Owen Schmitt, he is five beers short of a six-pack. And knowing Schmitt, he probably drank them. Owen Schmitt is a crazy man. Just ask the equipment managers at West Virginia who consistently replaced Schmitt’s steel-reinforced facemasks. An unofficial count credits him with nearly a dozen broken facemasks, a direct result of punishing blocks and collisions on the field. Ask his old college teammates, who jokingly used “Owen Schmitt” instead of “Chuck Norris” in popular comedic phrases. His passion on the field and energy in the gym were regular points of discussion in the locker room. Or what about friends at West Virginia who witnessed Owen Schmitt ...

The Checkdown —
Monday Mourning Week Five: The "Get a Load of This Guy" Edition. So Rush Limbaugh wants to be an NFL owner. Specifically, the pundit is rumored to be a part of the investment group looking to purchase the St. Louis Rams. This information has prompted a few current players (Bart Scott, Mathias Kiwanuka, and Donavon McNabb, for example) to voice a distaste for the flamboyant, right-wing talk show host, to the point that they claim they wouldn't play for a Limbaugh-owned team. Prompting the question amongst media-types: "If Limbaugh put in a bid to own a team, would current owners vote for him?" I know I would. With all the good players not ...
Seahawk Plays Smashes Own Forehead
EveryJoe » Sports Rumors —
I remember back in the day when Chuck Cecil (who then played for the Packers) would sport a massive cut and bloody nose during each game. If I remember correctly, he called it his war paint, and couldn’t really get into the game until he’d drawn blood.
Now, it seems that Seattle’s Owen Schmitt might be following in Cecil’s shoes. Schmitt began hitting himself before the start of the game against the Jaguars on Sunday. Check out this video, that shows him pounding on his head. ...
Schmitt is Insane and I Love It
Hard Knox Sports —
Seattle Seahawks fullback Owen Schmitt proved that he is clinically insane by banging his helmet on his head multiple times as he was introduced before the Seahawks’ win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The problem with this decision is that Schmitt starting bleeding pretty profusely and needed stitches to stop the bleeding. Schmitt was a very good fullback at West Virginia and he will have a job in the NFL for many years. The Tennessee Titans, Buffalo Bills, St. Louis Rams and Oakland Raiders could all use more players like Schmitt. ...

Owen Schmitt After Busting His Head Open With His Helmet: “I didn’t think my head was going to split open.”
Sports Radio Interviews —
Seattle Seahawks fullback Owen Schmitt already had a reputation of being a crazy dude when he came out of West Virginia this past year. Mostly for the incident when he beat himself with his helmet during a game during his junior season. On Sunday, Schmitt lived up to that reputation when he again beat himself with his helmet. This time though it came during the pre-game introductions during Seattle’s home contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. First, check out the video of the incident below.

I’m usually not the gory type, but this is just so ridiculous it most be posted. Check out this video SI Hot Clicks linked to of how Seahawks fullback Owen Schmitt got himself all bloodied prior to the game with the Jaguars Sunday. Pure gross stuff:
That video reminded me of John Henderson’s pre-game routine from the Jaguars. Honestly, there’s no way to see that video and not conclude that most of these players have some sort of chemical imbalance to do the crazy things they do. That dude is purely nuts.

Owen Schmitt didn't get the memo about that dementia study
Shutdown Corner —
As an NFL fan who would rather not see players get hurt, helmet-to-helmet
hits bother me. I'm not sure they bother me as much as helmet-to-bare, raw,
exposed head hits, though. Take it away, Seattle Seahawks fullback Owen Schmitt(notes).
This isn't the first time he's done this, either. Part of the Owen Schmitt
legend at West Virginia University was built around a similar incident.
My goodness, man. It's like Owen Schmitt read
this post and said, "Hey, dementia, that sounds fun. Let's see what I
can do to speed that process up."
I know you're an ...
Trying to look like a bad ass?
The Sports Culture —
Seattle Seahawks’ fullback Owen Schmitt thinks he is a bad ass, and he decided to show everyone just how tough he is by smashing his own helmet into his skull. Well, after the blood rushed down his face in front of a packed stadium, he looked more like a retard. Given all the studies that have been going done regarding the NFL’s effect on health in players’ later years, if he keeps this up he may literally be a retard. Wait, too late.

Owen Schmitt's pre-game routine over
ProFootballTalk.com —
Seahawks fullback Owen Schmitt won't be bashing himself over the head with his helmet anymore. At least not before games. "That has been cut out of the pre-game ritual," Schmitt told Danny O'Neil of the Seattle Times Thursday. Schmitt also revealed that last Sunday was the first time the routine had ever led to profuse bleeding . Schmitt, of course, frequently engaged in the practice during his West Virginia days. And it wasn't always just in warmups . Presumably, the Seahawks' coaching staff told Schmitt he couldn't use his helmet for self-motivation after his blood became such a hot Week 5 topic. But it's fair to question whether that's a ...

I know, I know, we skipped last week. Don't worry, forget about it! Once Tom Cable is arrested and thrown in jail we have a perfectly good article waiting for him to make up for it. It is important for the man at least gets a fair bit of leeway. We don't want to call bull on him and then have our own words shoved back into our faces because it turns out that the guy he punched is lying his socks off.
And with that said, onto the article.
