Valiantly, and moronically, trying to keep his family’s Super Bowl tradition alive, 18-year-old D.J. Brown stripped down to a t-shirt and jeans and took a ritualistic jog around his Buffalo, Minnesota neighborhood during the half-time show of last Sunday’s game. The temperature? A frigid 17 degrees below zero.
Though he was outside barefoot in the snow for a full 5 minutes, upon his return, the high school senior and self described “A student” was surprised when his feet began to blister and swell. Despite his “high threshold for pain,” D.J. called the agony of his frostbite “so 10 out of 10.” “I was like, biting on a towel,” he elaborated. Treated for second-degree burns on both feet in nearby Minneapolis, young D.J. is now on crutches and painkillers. No word on what Mr. and Mrs. Brown thought of their son’s total lack of basic common sense, but D.J. himself attributed it to “teenage arrogance.” D’uhhhh, ya think?
Jackass.
