If Jeff Reed uses your bathroom, make sure you have something to dry your hands with

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Jeff Reed has pleaded guilty to disorderly contest and criminal mischief after police say he broke a towel dispenser in a convenience store.

Reed pleaded guilty to the two summary offenses, which are similar to traffic tickets, on Friday. He’ll be fined $543.50.

Police say Reed threw a temper tantrum Feb. 14 at a Sheetz store in New Alexandria, a tiny borough about 35 miles east of Pittsburgh, because its restroom didn’t have any towels.

Police say he broke the dispenser then used profane language to an employee and also outside the store.

Reed made 27 of 31 field goals and 36 of 37 PATs for 117 points in his seventh season with the Steelers, which was capped by Pittsburgh’s 27-23 win over the Arizona Cardinals in the Super Bowl.

Sort of a slow sports day

It’s in-between football and baseball season. It’s what I call the “dead zone” in sports.
