First off, the referee who called the pass interference penalty on Anthony Madison, negating his interception and allowing Arizona to kick a field goal to tie Thursday's preseason game with no time left in the first half is a complete bum (you'd think when the Arizona receiver hooks our CB's arm, it would be called offensive pass interference, but apparently this referee missed that lesson in referee school.) The real bum of the day is former Steeler kicker Kris Brown.
Brown was drafted in the 7th round of the 1999 draft by the Steelers. Brown saw action in his rookie year and was successful at Three Rivers Stadium. When the Steelers moved to Heinz Field in 2001, Brown showed his bum side. The moment that sticks in my mind is a game against the NY Jets when Brown missed two field goals and an extra point. Fans did what you do to bums, they booed Kris Brown the next time he came on the field to attempt a field goal.
Another future bum of the day, Kordell Stewart, who is/was familiar to boos, stood on the sidelines and waved a towel to try to encourage fans to cheer for Brown instead of boo him. Both bums were eventually booed out of Pittsburgh. Brown also had a field goal blocked by the New England Patriots in the 2001 AFC Championship game that was run back for a touchdown (we lost that game by a touchdown...go figure.) Brown asked for free agency, was granted it, and signed with the Houston Texans in their expansion year of 2002.
Kris Brown made $900,020 as a Steeler, compiling 23 missed field goals (80 FGM-103 FGA). What a bum!
Fact: Kris Brown made $39,131 per field goal missed as a Steeler.
*ATTENTION: Our site will be holding a tournament in the near future, in order to name all-time bums in four separate categories (Penguins, Steelers, Pirates, and miscellaneous).
Once again, if you would like to nominate bums for the brackets, please leave a comment.
