Part of me wishes that kick happened to the Steelers to hear the crying from the PIT fans My honest reaction if that were the case It's not every day you see something like that. Just as long as our punter wasn't hurt (he actually didn't look too bad punting today!), and we got the penalty. The penalty or lack there of often pisses me off more than the act it's self. Besides what would suspending the Browns returner going to do? He would be back after a week anyways and long before the Steelers play them again. Should have been ejected IMO.

Nah.

Nevertheless, it was clearly intentional and Brown should be fined/suspended.
Trying to write it off as a "failed hurdle" is just wrong.

I am 90% sure they still do. If anything Brown is lucky the guy wasn't hurt. I would almost assure you, if he left on a stretcher Brown was facing ejection. Kicking guys in the head is not cool brah.

Who the heck does that in a football game? It was a misjudged hurdle. If the punter dived, it would have been a textbook hurdle, but he didn't. You try making decisions as fast as football players have to and lets see you not make a mistake. Brown took a chance and guessed, and he guessed wrong. Watch the play in full speed and say it was intentional.
