Steelers Cut Jeff Reed

The Steelers have finally cut Jeff Reed. He is one of the most accurate kickers of all-time, but has been all over the place this year already missing 7 field goals, including a chip shot against the Patriots. To be honest, this is a long time coming. This guy has been way too much of a headache for a kicker. He gets drunk, and makes an ass out of himself, and it is about time it caught up to him.

The Steelers will sign Shaun Suisham to replace Reed. Suisham has played with the Cowboys and Redskins. He is nothing special, but can't much worse then Reed has been this year. The funniest part of all this is that Reed was throwing a fit in the offseason about getting a new contract, and now has played himself right off the team.

Steelers Sign Casey Hampton To 3 Year Deal

The Pittsburgh Steelers have reached an agreement on a 3 year contract with nose tackle Casey Hampton. This is great news for the Steelers as they really need Hampton in the middle of that defense. Having a guy in a middle like Hampton makes all the Steelers LBs better.

On top of that the Steelers can now put that franchise tag on someone else, and they already have, deciding to use it on kicker Jeff Reed. With all this taken care of the Steelers should focus on fixing that offensive line, which can be done in the draft as that is a position of depth this year.

God Dammit Jeff Reed!

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Jeff Reed has been cited by city police for public intoxication and disorderly conduct outside a bar a couple of blocks from where the team beat the Cleveland Browns a few hours earlier.

Police say Reed was cited outside McFadden's Bar about 9 p.m. Sunday.

Reed kicked two field goals in the 27-14 victory.

This is Reed's second brush with the law this year.

He paid $543 in fines and restitution after pleading guilty to disorderly conduct and criminal mischief for damaging a paper towel dispenser in a convenience store bathroom in New Alexandria in February.ESPN

Dear Jeff Reed,
you have been a great kicker for the Steelers. You got us away from the Kris Brown shanking days, however, you need to stop being a drunk douche bag. All you do is get drunk and cause mischief everywhere. It's not really a distraction to the team because you are a kicker, but maybe if you weren't drunk all the time you could have hit those missed field goals against Cincy. Anyways, this is a stupid fucking problem to have and cut it out.

Jeff Reed Arrested For Lack Of Paper Towels

“Reed caused damage to a towel dispenser as he was infuriated at the fact that there were no towels in it,” according to a news release by Trooper Shawn Askins, who issued the citations. The incident occurred Saturday about 2:50 a.m.

A message left on an answering machine at Reed’s home was not immediately returned.

What happened to Jeff. He seemed like a level headed kicker before the superbowl, but during the Superbowl he turned into Jersey trash. However, this has to be one of the funniest reasons to get arrested. Either way, he will be fine, and be back to kicking for the Steelers next year.
