Sometimes, I wonder if all is right in the world. The Broncos are 5-0, the Giants just got spanked by the Saints and the Yankees, who I was sure were going to get killed by the Angels, are up 2-0 and just won an epic game two. However, it’s good to know that somethings never, ever change. From PFT: It’s been a bad year for Steelers kicker Jeff Reed. Sure, he won another Super Bowl ring. But Reed has had two brushes with the law since early February. First, he was charged with beating up a paper-towel dispenser at a convenience store. Now, he has been cited for public intoxication. The folks at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette are quick to point out that it’s only a “citation,” which suggests that it’s like a parking ticket. Still, it’s an incident that could get him in trouble with the league — and that might get him eventually in trouble with the Steelers. Typically, the organization makes examples out of the slappies who get in trouble with the law, and it makes excuses for the good players who find themselves in legal hot water. From the same man that brought you the infamous “No Towels!?” incident, Reed has completely screwed up one more time. After all, you can’t be a douche if you look like this right? Let’s be honest, no one will care if Reed gets suspended by the team or the league. The Steelers have bigger problems right now with an overrated running game and an offensive line that can’t protect anyone. However, the thought of Jeff Reed punching towel dispensers and being a drunken idiot makes me feel warm inside. Tags: aligncenter, alt, anyone, Continue reading Jeff Reed Is Still A Moron…

The Steelers do everything as a team, including urination
