Michael Rand started RandBall with hopes that he could keep lies from conquering the minds of the weak. So far, he's only succeeded in using the word "redacted" a lot.

TFD: It was a tough day for AFC North kickers
Posted by: Michael Rand under Professional football Updated: October 19, 2009 - 5:03 PM
Pittsburgh just can't let Baltimore win at anything ... even when it comes to bad days for kickers. From the AP (our bold):
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Jeff Reed has been cited by city police for public intoxication and disorderly conduct outside a bar a couple of blocks from where the team beat the Cleveland Browns a few hours earlier. Police say Reed was cited outside McFadden's Bar about 9 p.m. Sunday. Reed kicked two field goals in the 27-14 victory. This is Reed's second brush with the law this year. He paid $543 in fines and restitution after pleading guilty to disorderly conduct and criminal mischief for damaging a paper towel dispenser in a convenience store bathroom in New Alexandria in February. Team spokesman Dave Lockett says the team is still gathering information and has no comment. Police say Reed will be mailed a summons to appear in city court.
