Boy gets frostbite from Super Bowl run
'A teenager who wanted to continue the family tradition of running around the garden barefoot during halftime of the Super Bowl game has learned a painful lesson.'
A teenager who wanted to continue the family tradition of running around the garden barefoot during halftime of the Super Bowl game has learned a painful lesson.
It was 17 below zero at halftime Sunday in this city about 30 miles northwest of Minneapolis, and D.J. Brown's dad said it was too cold to continue the tradition.
He was treated for second-degree frostbite on both feet at the burn center at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis and was on crutches and pain medication Monday.
Brown, who said he's a straight-A student, chalked up his actions to "teenage arrogance."

I'm stupid enough to run in shorts and a T-shirt in cold weather, but not THAT cold.

Idiot. Everyone knows that you should spend at least 20 minutes in the sauna drinking booze first.

I'm trying to imagine why anyone would do this in the first place --regardless of temperature.
The half-time shows usually aren't that bad.

Some traditions are just dumb and deserve to be allowed to die.

"running around the GARDEN" vs "he ran around the BLOCK".
They must have some big gardens up there!
