The Steelers Kicker Just Attempted The Worst Onside Kick In The History Of Organized Football

With 48 seconds left in the fourth quarter with his team down 21-14 to the Baltimore Ravens, professional kicker Chris Boswell lined up to attempt an onside kick. The 25 year old signed a 2-year deal with the Steelers for an annual salary of $480,000. He is paid nearly ten times what the average American is paid yearly to kick the ball well.

This is not well.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
