Skippy, We Hardly Knew Ye

The benevolent, paternalistic Steelers (aka, "The Rooneys") cut Jeff Reed today. As I have been saying at several points this season, this makes them NO DIFFERENT than any other team in the NFL, not Al's Raiders, not Jerry's Cowboys, nor Danny's Redskins.

Reed has been on the downside in 2010, no doubt about it, but he has been a good performer, if not always a solid citizen off the field, in his time here, which included two Super Bowl champion teams. One can only hope that whoever they sign performs better, and there is no guarantee of that.

  1. Agree completely.

    I will always show up for a Rooney bashing.

    Even John Shumway, meek KDKA Newsman said, "Take it from someone who knows personally, the Rooneys do not like anyone to bash their turf at Heinz Field."

    Guess Jeff Reed won't be attending any concerts at the Rooney's new (virtually free) amphitheater next to Heinz Field.

  2. Was Shumway wearing his Steelers logo'd jacket while giving his "news" report?
