Not that this should come as a shocker...

Reed will play in Steelers game Sunday

Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Steelers Coach Mike Tomlin said today that kicker Jeff Reed will play Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings even though he was cited by police last Sunday night on several charges after a confrontation outside a North Side bar.

Last year, Tomlin made starting wide receiver Santonio Holmes inactive for a game against the New York Giants after Holmes was given a citation by police for marijuana possession on the Thursday night before the game.

In describing the differences, Tomlin said the Holmes incident was a possible distraction because it occurred later in the week and he deactivated him to minimize the distraction. He said it was "not punitive". Because Reed's incident happened on Sunday, they have "an opportunity to address it," Tomlin said.

Reed was cited for simple assault, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and public drunkeness after he confronted police outside a North Side bar as they were issuing a citation for disorderly conduct to tight end Matt Spaeth for urinating in a parking lot.

Google image "Jeff Reed" and you've got 14 douche bag pics before you see one of him in a Steeler uni actually kicking a ball.

Rather telling in my opinion.

Well, there's that.

Translation: Last year we had many guys on our roster who could catch but this year there is only one guy on the roster that can kick it through the uprights.

LOL

I would think Coors Light could have an absolute field day with Cowher press conferences.

Speaking of those commercials and the Steelers, one of the stars of the Coors Light Presser commercials was sitting in the section next to mine at the Steelers/Titans season opener this year. I didn't recognize him until my homeboy pointed him out.

Like Jasonic, I don't really have a point.

I think Jeff is a scream, definitely adds color to the Stillers. BUT...he really needs to get his shit together or in another 5-10 years, he'll end up another Mike Webster story.
