Well in an unsurprising turn of events, Mike Tomlin said that regardless of the situation, Jeff Reed will in fact kick Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. This has got to be one of the better story lines us fans have got to endure over the past 8 months since the first time he beat up a paper towel dispenser. Sure, Big Ben supposedly did whatever with that girl in Nevada, but there still really is no hard evidence to support anything. Jeff Reed however, has created a buzz all his own, for just being a plain old alcoholic idiot.
I’ve probably never laughed so hard at one person since Mike Vanderjat and Peyton Manning went at it a few years ago. At that time Peyton had said something along the lines of:
“I’m about to go in and throw a touchdown to Jerry Rice, we’re honoring the Hall of Fame, and we’re talking about our idiot kicker who got liquored up and ran his mouth off.”
Mind you, this is when good old Vanderjat missed the field goal during the AFC championship game between the Colts and the Steelers. In which the Steelers went on to the Super Bowl and became champions for the 5th time in the NFL. Jeff Reed has now become out idiot kicker who got liquored up and ran his mouth off to police.
Alcoholism is a serious issue, and if there is one person in the world who needs help it’s Reed. The guy may want to have a good time, but head on over to Google and enter Jeff Reed’s name on an image search. Out of the 18 pictures on the fist page, 15 of them are of him at a club, or being half naked, or drinking. He’s not even known on the internet for being a kicker as much as he is known for being a general alcoholic/idiot.
The police report below details what happened a mere 3 hours after the Steelers game(he’s gotta drink fast and hard) -
Lt. David Piasecke, of the city’s Zone 1 police station, said two police officers were called to an unrelated incident at McFadden’s on North Shore Drive about 9 p.m. Sunday when they saw Steelers tight end Matt Spaeth urinating next to a white sport utility vehicle in a parking lot.Reed got out of that SUV and was told to get back inside, but he did not comply, and he turned toward Sgt. David Krueger with a raised fist, Piasecke said.The officers forcibly handcuffed Reed, who had a strong order of alcohol, Piasecke said.
Spaeth must be one of the happier men in the city at the moment. He comitted the initial offense and Jeff Reed took the paper’s headlines. While what Spaeth did was wrong, and was cited for it, it was a situation where Jeff Reed need not interfer with his drunken billgerant self.
All I can say is, at the end of the Steelers season, and Jeff Reeds contract is up, I won’t be surprised if he is let go completely or special clauses enter in his contract about being on the party scene if he were to be re-signed. The guy is a mess and needs to get his act together. The picture below is Jeff simply looking like an idiot. I felt it fit.
