One Scrappy Kicker

Once again another showing of the how the morals in professional sports today has taken a great hit. One of the better kickers in the NFL Jeff Reed is in trouble this the law once again. A couple hours after having a nice day kicking two field goals in a win over the Cleveland Browns Jeff Reed's day took a turn for the worse. The issue is still under investigation but the report is , in which he was cited for simple assault, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness after allegedly scuffling with Pittsburgh police officers outside a bar near Heinz Field.The Pittsburgh Steelers kicker has apologized to his teammates, saying he didn't mean to cause a distraction by getting involved in a run-in with Pittsburgh police. Even with this being his second run into with the law in the span of a year Reed will not be suspended. I guess playing against the undefeated Minnesota Vikings is more important than punishing someone for immature wrongful doings.

  1. i totally agree with you on this. pro atheletes are supposed to be role models to kids and yet when they do something wrong nothing ever happens.. they get a slap on the wrist and all is fine.. but if this was a normal person they would probably still be in jail.. this really needs to be fixed
