He's getting a kick out of an NFL player

In pro football this year I follow closely the fortunes of the Patriots — and the Seattle Seahawks.

I try never to miss a Seahawks’ game. My favorite player is a Seahawk.

I am absorbed every week by the performance of the Middlebury College graduate who is playing a crucial role for the Seattle team.

Steve Hauschka, Middlebury 2007, is the placekicker for Seattle and is having an outstanding season. He has converted 22 of 26 field goal attempts (two over 50 yards) and all 30 of his extra points.
