Anyways...just so dumb. His goal is a TD...he jukes everyone athletic, breaks down the field and the punter has him squared up, if he jukes to his left he likely runs in for the POSITIVE highlight, for whatever reason he leaps as if to hurdle but he jumped way too damn early. The only defense he might have for the early jump is that he picked him up late and assumed the punter was running towards him....once in the air he figured he was wrong and instead of just landing he goes all Hong Kong Fooey/Daniel Son. As soon as he did it I cringed and just knew what would follow....my team yields yet another dumbass. Every team has guys you shouldn't root for but the Steelers players are piling up too much.
I just never understand why these guys make such horrible decisions. Brown could be an elite player that everyone says "damn, wish he was on my team".....but stupid shit like that just brings on the "ha ha, that dumbshit is on your team.
The worst was Roberto Alomar one of my all-time favorite players...then he spits in the umpire's face. Fortunately, he apologized and he and that ump became good friends and Alomar raised a ton of money for that ump's very sick kid. He made amends the best he could.
I wish/hope Brown takes whatever punishment he gets and makes amends....do the right thing. Admit you were a dumbass and publicly apologize and do something good for that punter.
After Ryan Braun lied, got a guy fired etc....having signed a huge contract he needs to set that guy up for at least what he would've made the rest of his life plus a significant amount in addition. But he also owed it to the fans that vote him for everything. If I were him and knowing I was playing say LF.....buy season tickets for 50-100 fans (kids group, military family etc) in that section. And then have his people set up something similar for the 80 road games....it would cost him ~ $500,000 but to me would be the necessary "my bad, I was a dumbass, please give me another chance"
But most are too arrogant and get their way so they feel they don't need to, but as a fan I'd like to see it.
Good post, not the type of response I expected lol.
I am not on the same boat as you when it comes to talented but unlikeable players. They can do what they want with their money. If they are producing for my team, I really don't care if they are dumbasses unless 1. it becomes very detrimental to the team (i.e. gordon), or 2. if they are scumbags (rapistberger, rice, etc)

You would have thought last year the Lions were on their way to a SB title reading his posts. You're talking about the game who said BG is favored to win 11 of their games before the season started. They then proceed to get their asses kicked by WKU lol.
