Columnist Ron Cook says the Jeff Reed incident is an embarrassment to the Steelers. What do you think?

SteelerNation:

 Given the history (the incident at Sheetz) then perhaps Ron Cook would have a point... Does have a point at a basic level but, as is his style he (Cook) piles on hard. Maybe he wants to just sell papers? He sits in his air conditioned box and attacks fans and now tries to do the PC 2 step as he plays judge. Ron qualifies all his attack lines thus he probably feels that is fair.

As for damaging the Pittsburgh Steeler's reputation... Puhleeeze... Even if the charges are truthful it hardly rises to that level. I'd say that the owner supporting the fraud that now sits in DC and has surrounded himself with known... Admitted communists... Get this straight Ron... A-D-M-T-T-E-D communists but hey they don't call them Czars for nothing... Never mind one of the Czars John Holdren in his own writing calls for the  poisoning of the US Water Supply in order to sterilize the population and for forced abortions.

Never mind that another Cass Sunstein just wrote that involuntary "Organ Harvesting" ie... Stealing the organs from people without consent of the person or their family is doable!!!

Never mind the Trillions stolen from us and given to Obama's friends at Goldman Sachs... Dan Rooney's friends, as well, I surmise.

Dan gets his token ambassadorship and off he goes and the people of Ireland suddenly find things they defeated in voting time and again passed...

But Jeff reed... The "idiot" as Ron calls him is damaging the rep?

Never mind the extortionist Jesse Jackson being invited to stand in prominence by the head coach... I wonder if he was there the day Russ Grimm was offered the job but not really?

Surely this comes down to the police's word vs Reed's and Reed is a drinking idiot... Right Ron?

Surely the police known recently for using Sound weapons on non violent protesters... Protesting the event that surely had no back room implications from the Rooney 180 Obama gushing tour ( Thanks Dan ). Surely the police that were caught dressing up as protesters to provoke violence wouldn't lie... noooo...

My personal opinion is that Ron Cook... Reed's guilt or not is a punk and  a coward.

Sigh.....another psycho, whack job republican on the loose.

Jeff Reed is not an embarrassment to the Steelers.  There is WAY too much being made of this!  Ben Roethlesberger, accused RAPIST, is an embarrasment to the Steelers!  Why aren't you upset at the idea that he may have committed this act of violence?  He has not been found innocent!

Hold on!  I am no big fan of anyone, including Jeff Reed, that has the world by the stones, is a millionaire, and acts like an idiot.  But what country are YOU living in Sheila1?  A little piece of paper called the Constitution states everyone is innocent until proven guilty...you have it ass backwards!  Bone up on your Matlock!

 Penn Hills Guy,

Those are facts.

Facts.

BTW, I don't watch FAUX News.

John Holdren writing a text book of all things wrote about poisoning (my term) the water supply to sterilize people and also forced abortions... ie Eugenics.

Sunsteen just recently talked about, among other things... the doable aspects of taking the organs of people without consent.

If you like me to walk you like a child to the words they wrote and said themselves I will.

Some of the Czars... get that... their term our country... not even Cabinet members but C-Z-A-R-S in the US Presidential Admin ARE admitted and PROUD Communists.

I'm sorry if that upsets your spoon fed TV programmed out look on/of the world... Your Fox News quip proving your a programmed knee jerker or... worse... yet another paid troll... I'll give you thge bene of the doubt and assume your just asleep as many are... ox News... puhleeeze... the latest sham is to pretend the Obamanites are upset with FAUX... Don't forget Rupert Murdock was a huge fund raiser for Hillary Clinton and the very people that Obama bows to and gets his Muslim onlt chain from... ie... the Suadi Royal Family are major stock holders in News Corp.

Next.

Oh here... not that Penn Can Handle the truth but here is the proof:

John Holdren advocated forced abortions, mass sterilization through food and water supply and mandatory bodily implants to prevent pregnancies:

It isn't a right/left thing... wake up! That is part of false paradigm (Look it up Thurman) and you are being lied to:

Here we have a young-ish, wealthy, red-blooded man that let his beer muscles out of the cage at the wrong time and place garnering himself a couple minor citations that will probably result in a fine and mandatory alcohol education.

"If Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said that same thing about Reed, no one would argue."

If Ben Roethlisberger said one word about Jeff Reed's incident I would be seriously disappointed if Jeff Reed did not slap Ben in the face.  Lets face it, how does Reed's incident even compare to the situation Ben has himself in legally.  And does Jeff Reed's role on the team even compare to 1% of what Ben is?  Ben is the face and the thermometer of the Pittsburgh Steelers.  If Ben is hot the Steelers are hot.  Ben Roethlisberger's issue has been in the news for 4 months now, at least one headline on postgazette.com every week, mostly about his lawyers tearing the victim's reputation to shreads, rightfully or not it is not for me to decide.  Ben would need to be the last person on that team to make a comment about Jeff Reed.  Yeah, Jeff is a captain too, but let's face it, who does he lead? He goofs off at training camp helping Tomlin plan pranks, and there is a reason he is nicknamed "Skippy".  All that matters is that he puts the ball through the uprights.  The teammates dont look to Jeff for motivation or example, he is on the field maybe 1 minute of every game. 

Now I have had the opportunity to run into both Ben and Jeff in the night scene.  Jeff on the South Side.  Ben, I ran into a couple times while a student at Miami University.  And to be brutally honest both are jerks.  But the problem I have is with the judgement you pass on Jeff for a incident that many Pittsburgher's can relate too.  Who hasn't had a little too much to drink and gotten rowdy?  This incident is not embarrasing.  He was not at a strip club "making it rain".  He was not carrying a concealed weapon into a public place.  He was not behind the wheel of a car.  He got out because in his mind he wanted to help out his friend, Matt Spaeth.  Why is the article not about him? 

Honestly this may all be moot, because ownership did not extend him before the season (writing on the wall in Steeler Country)  But give the man a break.  Jeff may not be perfect, but Ben Roethlisberger is not Peyton Manning.

 Reed is a man with a drinking problem. can not hold his liquior. He is a disgrace to the Rooneys, Steeler teammates and to Steeler nation. Great role model this guy is. Hey lets not forget about this Matt Spaeth, urinating in public, disorderly conduct. Lets not let him get off so easy. I will never look at him the same way, no respect for the guy.

     BeTrueSeekTruth you must have been beat up as a kid.  It also appears that you do not like authority figures.  So when the s*#t hits the fan, who are you going to call?   Not the Ghostbusters or your Mommie,  you will call 911 and someone will respond to help you, even though that person may not want too.  They may be  a tree hugger like yourself.  But since you know it all, you should just take it into your own hands and be the judge , jury and the crusifier.  But you could not do that because you would get your ass handed to you on a platter.  BeTrueSeekTruth,  get a clue in life and step out of your little bubble you live inside. 

     I have first hand knowledge of the incident,  because I was there.  Reed was totally in the wrong and was given 5 oppurtunities to walk away, but as usual, he thought he knew it all also and wanted to challenge authority.   Reed will get his day in court and he will have to explain to the judge why he was acting like a juvenile and not a grown adult.  Reed was not even invovled in the incident, but he choose to be, by interfering with a police matter.  Speath was going to be cited a citation and sent on his way, but no Reed had to butt in a put his two cents into the incident.    

     And also the statement that you have first hand knowledge of officers tazing patrons at the local bar and it going unreported,  would be totaly false.  You need to check you facts before you open your pie hole.   Not one city police officer would tazer someone without either arresting them or sending them to the local hospital.  It is protocal and they would not want to loose their pension and benefits over some bum who wants to challenge authority.  In this day and age , everyone has a camera or a camera phone.  They would not take that chance and if they did they would not be on the job.  It is not worth it.  Research your facts first BeTrueSeekTruth before you speak. 

 As a recovering alcholic I see some very familar behavior here. Reed is and has been a very consistent contributor to this team. I have always viewed the Steeler organization as one that does the "right" thing in most cases. The right thing here is to help Mr. Reed and get him into treatment. Save a life save a kicker.

A Steeler fan from NC

 I believe Ron Cook is trigger happy and like much of the left media he writes to condemn.  look throughout his story he has a dagger aimed right at Reed speculating players and league authorities reactions and feelings on the subject.  He even offers a fine amount but then finally adds those glorious words, If He Is Guilty!  Lets give it a chance before condemning Reed as there is a chance he was only trying to be a responsible teammate and police over-reacted.  I know that is not much of a possiblility as far as Ron Cook is concerned he would rather question the future of reed's career.  C'mon man luckily Ron Cook is only a writer, if he was a judge forget about it!

Hey, if you or I got loaded, tried to break the paper dispenser from the wall, then raised our hands at the police:

1. We'd have gotten the crap beat out of us by Pgh's finest, and it would have been deserved.

2. We'd have gone to jail for resisting arrest and possibly attempted assault on a police officer. And most of us would still be sitting down there on 2nd avenue waiting for somebody to bail us out.

This notion the cops were too aggressive??? Seriously? In a city that worships the Steelers as living gods we're supposed to believe these goons were treated the same as any "regular" Pittsburgher? Come on, what world do you guys live in? This is Reed's strike two and the Rooneys ought to cut him loose, he's a good kicker but terrible for the image of our team and city.

Hurray to Jeff Reed for contesting the Fascist tactics of the Pittsburg Police who are crazed by the licence given them to trample on constitutional, personal, and civil rights during the G-20 meetings. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeYg0qCn11U

Yes, Right.  Republicans are the whackos?   

 Let's begin with the fact you are condemning him for the first instance as that is the only one you refered to in your reply.  Just like any liberal whacko who has to always spin to get their lies across and luckily have for the most part an uneducated audience to believe.  Yes Reed needs to be addressed. Yes, he should suffer consequences but these infractions you throw him to the wolves.  Well sorry we are not as perfect as you Mr. Cook.  Lucky for everyone you are just a crazed writer with no authority to make any decisions.  I will never read another article of yours. 

Good Day.
