The Steelers FG kicker got shitcanned

**floridagolfer** · 11-16-10, 07:56 PM

Reed had been living on borrowed time.

**Mr KLC** · 11-16-10, 07:58 PM

Seven missed field goals a little more into half of the season = pink slip. Arena league, here i come!

**pmidy88** · 11-16-10, 07:58 PM

word he sucked lol

**JDUB07** · 11-16-10, 07:58 PM

Are you surprised? Jeff Reed was horrible... Announcers continue to play the " It's so hard to kick in Pittsburgh card. How about some accountability?

**icemaster47** · 11-16-10, 08:00 PM

somehow I get the feeling that he will find another job

**stevek173** · 11-16-10, 08:03 PM

He was famous for roughing up a Sheetz bathroom in his area.

He will get another job.

**brxbmbers42** · 11-16-10, 09:07 PM

probably will get one more shot somewhere else. then he will be hanging out with vanderjagt

**stealthyburrito** · 11-16-10, 09:18 PM

kickers are a diamond dozen.

**pronk** · 11-16-10, 09:25 PM

He looks like a lumberjack. What a disgrace...

**WvGambler** · 11-16-10, 10:12 PM

He's had 10 dui's, been in plenty of drunken bar incidents and once beat up the paper towel dispenser at a gas station....he's also been one of the best kickers in the league for the past 3-4 years (until this year). This shows how scummy the Steeler organization is. The Rooney's preach family and shit over performance but they employ rapists (big Ben), woman beaters (James Harrison), tax evaders (Hines ward) and dumbasses like Reed. But if you miss a FG youre gone. Scumbag organization.

**RJ89** · 11-16-10, 11:13 PM

How will he put food on the table now?

**Brock Landers** · 11-16-10, 11:17 PM

he'll be signed by someone in the not too distant future for sure. Dallas has a shit kicker too

when did james harrison get into woman beating issues. i never heard that

**bostonboy** · 11-17-10, 12:05 AM

Reed will definitely get another shot. on the the top ten all-time kicking accruacy list, only 31 y/o.

**shaunovery** · 11-17-10, 12:12 AM

He had a nightmare Sunday I'm sure he'll get another job maybe in San fran

Speaking of nightmare Sundays, can anyone say "Nick Folk"?

**Art Vandelay** · 11-17-10, 12:35 AM

I'm sure Rex would love to shit-can Folk. Reed is the best liquored-up kicker since Mike Vanderjagt! Still love that Peyton Manning soundbite at the Pro Bowl!

Kickers are slot machines?

**crustyme** · 11-17-10, 12:56 AM

kickers get recycled more than alyssa milanos privates.

**Robust** · 11-17-10, 01:14 AM

good! can't be missing like that.. loses games!

Robust

**astrodomer** · 11-17-10, 01:17 AM

Cowboys need to get rid of thiers as well!!!

**Shafted69** · 11-17-10, 01:26 AM

He's had a successful career as a kicker. 8 years is pretty long for his position.

**Shortstop** · 11-17-10, 02:02 AM

Reed nailed many clutch kicks for the Steelers over the years.

In reality, this is a "What Have You Done For Me Lately" profession.

Pittsburgh fans can only hope that Shaun Suisham does well down the stretch towards the playoffs...

1996 he beat up his then girlfriend. They ended up settling out of court. You can Google It. James Harrison is an all around shitty person...its like an epidemic on this Steelers team.

**WvGambler** · 11-17-10, 08:11 AM

Also just weeks before that the Steelers cut a player for domestic violence accusations. But they let Harrison the pro bowler stay. Those riteous Rooney's!

**teddyd** · 11-17-10, 08:12 AM

pretty simple - just too many missed FGs...

**adlai** · 11-17-10, 08:17 AM

glad to see any steelers player lose his job...

**unusialsusp5** · 11-17-10, 08:59 AM

NE should sign him. that graham guy they signed can't even get an extra point over. that missed xtra point although it didn't cost them the game, caused them to go for 2 on the next td (failed) allowed pitt to go for 2 (made) which gave PITT a chance to tie with 2 TDs' and a FG. Bill was not happy.

**cadillac pete** · 11-17-10, 10:32 AM

I don't see how Shaun Suisham is an upgrade. But I guess a change had to be made. But if this was the best I would have kept Reed.

**bruceBRUCEbruce** · 11-17-10, 10:40 AM

Is there any bigger douche in professional sports?

**Dad** · 11-17-10, 12:17 PM

Wasn't Reed the one that was sending pictures of his junk to people a few years back?

**WvGambler** · 11-17-10, 12:20 PM

Probably sending them to Heath Miller.

I still don't agree with this move. Would have given Reed a few more games to get going, he earned it.
