Actually, this might be the one and only time I don’t mind writing about non-football players. To the surprise of absolutely nobody, the Pittsburgh Steelers cut kicker Josh Scobee and signed rookie Chris Boswell. Ditching Scobee was pretty much a foregone conclusion when Mike Tomlin bypassed a 50 yard attempt to win the game in OT. Once the head coach does that, there’s no other option.
Scobee leaves behind a legacy of costing us one game, possibly costing us another and making every kick an absolute adventure. He’ll also pocket $2.5 million for sucking at his job.
