Steelers' Reed cited for good behavior
Reed, who was charged two weeks ago over a confrontation with Pittsburgh police following the Cleveland Browns, was given another citation Tuesday from the Pennsylvania House of Representatives for turning out for a charity to feed the poor at Thanksgiving.
“Oh, this is a good citation. This is the only one that won’t get you into trouble,” Pennsylvania Rep. Tim Solobay, a Canonsburg Democrat, said while presenting the citation to the player at the Washington Crown Center mall in North Franklin Township.
Reed, who is contesting his recent brush with police, smiled and appeared to blush when he accepted the gift from Solobay. He also got into trouble with police last summer for beating up a paper towel dispenser in a Westmoreland County convenience store.

The food bank is the repository for money raised through the annual 2000 Turkeys campaign in the area that provides Thanksgiving turkeys for low-income families.
More than 200 people turned out an hour early and stood in a long line to pay $10 for an autograph from Reed. It cost those who waited another $10 for a signature from his teammate, Chris Hoke, a starting nose tackle.
Donations also are being accepted at 2000 Turkeys, P.O. Box 2000, Washington, PA 15301.

What a good sport. Kudos to Skippy Reid for supporting Washington County.
Reed's good behavior. : 10/28/2009
I love sports. it's nice to hear reed doing something good. but isn't it odd that many athletes & politicians get in serious trouble with the law & get a slap on the wrist? yet if it were you & I - everday avg. joes, we'd be in jail no questions asked?

At least Mr Solobay didn't have to worry about being tackled when working with Reed. Tim just needed to be sure not to carry any unfilled towel dispensers.
Reed needs to grow up : 10/28/2009
what a joke

I agree with "good behavior". He obviously has a problem with alcohol and now he's getting accolades from representatives for raising money. Yes, it's very nice he is involved, but it's also nothing but posturing that the Steelers' PR person probably made him do. If he was the average "jeff", he wouldn't even be recognized. I'm wondering if he was sober for the event.
