Agreed, he’s done. It’s a shame because he seemed to figure out Heinz field (Kris Brown anyone?).

He didn’t endanger anybody so it’s not that big of a deal too me. However, I prefer the Steelers having unblemished criminal records so that it’s even easier to make fun of the Bungles.

I know he’s a good kicker, but I can’t wait until he walks to find “big money” somewhere else. It might make us worse as a team, might, but it’s just getting old Jeff. Grow up drink like an adult.

Does Tomlin sit Reed for the Vikings? I bet Deebo could kick the ball right over those mountains if coach would put him in.

I was waiting for someone to say that it looks like this guy could have a problem with alcohol and need some professional help instead of just dumping on him.

Anytime you are in a contract year and you put yourself in position to be arrested for public intoxication, that says a lot about your intelligence, or lack thereof. He may have punched his ticket out of here, but good kickers who can kick in Heinz Field aren’t a dime a dozen.

Depending on how this shakes out, I think Reed could end up hearing from Commissioner Roger Goodell on this one and I don’t think he or the Steelers will like the news.

Is this really that big a deal? A grown man with the next two days off work gets cited for acting like a drunk ass in public. So what? Write the check and move on.

Hopefully they’ll cut one of those Coors Light press conference spots with Reed.

I have no problem with this minor incident. Who hasn’t been cited for disorderly conduct? I have. Our last president had a few such citations (not that he’s a particularly good example). This could simply translate to being too loud, at a time too late in the night.

But really, Reed has been inconsistent this year, and he wants a raise. If someone else comes into camp next year and kicks as well as him, then I’m fine with getting rid of him.

And I should end with the note that I have nothing but good feelings toward Reed in general. Any player who helped us win either of those rings is okay in my book.

All 3 are gone. Reed is declining and Spaeth never was much of a player. If Reed makes it to January I’d be surprised. That weakening leg and a cold ball will make for some high school-like kickoffs. They might low-tender Spaeth but his weak blocking skills and weak bladder will never make the top 53. Tonio has had multiple problems. The Steelers were dealt a bad hand after they drafted him. He got in trouble but they still needed to pony up a bonus and a 5 year deal. I believe there are/were minimums that the Steelers had to offer him based on his draft position. He’s been better but has still gotten into trouble since. No way he gets an extension.

and this could very well help to be his ticket not to be resigned at the end of the year if he’s requesting a lot of money, but i think he’ll be resigned if he requests a reasonable about of money. i also think he won’t be suspended by the league (at least for the vikings), but could face a suspension from the steelers. (lol watch the league will hand down a suspension in a week or 2 right when i make this comment).
my reasoning is the league doesn’t usually hand down suspensions for just getting in trouble (ask vincent jackson and his drunken driving experiences…while on probation for a previous dui) but most of the times you have to be convicted by the legal system or by a league investigation and it has to be something the league is taken a hard stance on.

but let’s remember, one of our fav players has been arrested 3 times over the past 3 years. once for disorderly conduct, once for domestic violence/assault, and once for possession of marijuana.
though, reed definitely needs to be sent to AA. if you occasionally go down to the south side i’m sure you’ve seen him down there or have friends who have seen him. and most of the time he’s doing something absurd

Honestly it doesn’t really bother me….

If it had happened when he was missing kicks then I’d maybe connect the two. But right now he’s making his boots, and so that makes me think maybe he plays better with more alcohol in the system.

(Steeler first round draft choice, driving drunk down Babcock Boulevard, spun out of control, crippled for life.)

When these guys get shitfaced and get behind the wheel, it bothers the hell out of me.

No way santonio dosent get an extension. I love mike wallace but I don’t see him as a no.1, and although it dosent seem like it hines is getting up there in age. So unless Sweed gets outta the dog house and starts killing it santonio gets a long term deal. Let’s face it he shows up when it matters….january.

I think the guys who imagiine he will be suspended are over reacting. This is certainly not a 4-game suspension type of behavior. And I don’t think it has anything to do with whether he will re-signed.

I will bet that 90% of the Steelers who do get drunk form time to time are very big and very loud. He probably will get some couseling and “it better not happen again.”

Reed had to stand on the sidelines and watch the Browns play up close and personal. That’s a perfect excuse for anyone to go out, drink heavily and wipe that memory from the banks.

The Police are always just lookin to nail somebody. The guy is being driven by a sober person, and all they did was take a tinkle on the side of the road. Big freaking deal. And then yes Reed acts stupid.

But why the hell do the cops need to create such a fuss over that?

Here in Peru a man can pee on just about anything. That is why I have left America. I want my piss rights!

Brian Boitano. They don’t take shit from anybody!

The fact that Skippy’s parents were there, and his set of witnesses seem to be disputing the police account really muddles the case against him.

Since Reed had an earlier legal problem, it is clearly in his interest to fight this one. Disorderly conduct charges are difficult to prove and often never go to court. It’s in everybody’s best interest to “no paper” this one, make it go away, and have the Rooneys insist that Reed gets some help in growing up. We all know how the ‘burgh works, and if Artie vouches for Skippy and says he’ll take care of it, it will get taken care of. And that keeps Eagle Scout Goodell out of it.
