Pretty funny Jeff Reed comment

**Oviedo** · 10-01-2008, 11:01 AM

Got this from Tunch's article on SteelCityInsider. Great statement from Tomlin.

"Best quote of the day. From Mike Tomlin to Jeff Reed in the tunnel outside the Steelers locker room post-game: “Can’t freeze a psychopath!” "

Jeff Reed is money. Can't believe he still get criticism here at times. He was a great pick up by the FO.

That's an instant classic, right up there with Peyton's "...our liquored up kicker..."

to Mike Tomlin for that comment.

That may be the best one-liner I have ever heard a coach make ever. I wonder if you asked the players in the locker room who scared them the most whether they would say Silverback or the "Psychopath?"

Can anyone please confirm the story on how Reed was named the Steelers kicker. I seem to remember back when Kris Brown was in the middle of his head-case woes, Cowher brought in a few kickers to try out on, at the time, a really muddy and poor playing surface at Heinze Field, and he won the job in a rainstorm.

that is so funny. who criticizes reed? the guy is automatic and has been the best kicker since gary anderson (norm was very good though). even reed's ko's have been money this year

Can't freeze a psychopath. That is an awesome line!!

Well, I'll say this much about Jeff...he's been our on-field kicking
coach/trainer for every single Women's Camp I've been to since 2003
and he's almost the unsung highlight of camp every year.

Although he is obviously committed to teaching us about his job
and is always very professional and sharp in his thinking, he IS a friggin'
fruitcake on top of all that!

His saracasm and wise-cracking are hilarious year after year; he loves
to talk trash with any willing participant! However, the best part is how
he doesn't hold back when it comes to criticizing himself. Although some
of his banter seems kinds of arrogant at first, we all soon realized that
he's actually a pretty selfless guy at heart and he'll be the first one to
slam his own performance in a story about a particular play or game and
say how much he wants to help out the team by getting it right.

This past year was kinda funny in that when it was his turn in the line-up
to kick a FG, he said that for every kick he missed he'd do 50 push ups!
I think he only missed one and then laughingly sped through his push ups,
stopping suddenly a few times to talk trash to someone cracking on him.

He definitly is a hoot!

The funny thing is you never seen Jeff without Greg Warren. Those two
are like Mutt and Jeff, frick and frack, two peas in a pod (for all you old timers
out there)...anyways, you get my drift. I bet Greg could tell some stories!!

Speakin of Jeff Reed. Did anyone hear Al Michael's comments during the Monday Night telecast as they were going to commercial after a kickoff. He said something to the effect of "Yeah, you can find pictures of Reed all over the internet." I lost it...Al's been checkin out the Psychopath obviously...Holmes too?
