Jeff Reed cut by the Steelers, total hypocrisy

The Pittsburgh Steelers do not tolerate players misbehaving off the field or at least they would like you to believe that. Santonio Holmes, and now Jeff Reed have been either traded or released by the Steelers in recent years, and all have been in the news outside of football. Cedric Wilson was the only one that Steeler's fans weren't very upset with.
Santonio Holmes was the biggest shock because he was the Steeler's biggest play-maker, he was young, and was Super Bowl XLIII MVP. Holmes was also entering his prime. However, he had multiple run ins with the law and was abusing his Twitter account.
The Steelers traded Holmes in the offseason after he had a few incidents that involved an allegation of him assaulting a woman at a night club.
With the Steelers down 17-3, Jeff Reed missed a 26-yard field goal.
Now, this did not lose the game. I don't blame Jeff Reed for the loss.
Thanks to the good folks at steelersdepot.com, who have the entire interview with Reed, everyone got to hear a sour Reed speak after the game. Dressed in a "haters hate" t-shirt, Reed went on to say that the fans are only there to bash him and then went on to blame to the turf for his misses.
Reed was 15 of 22 on field goals this season and his kicking percentage of 68.2 is the lowest of his career—lower than the 71.9 percent in 2003, his second year in the NFL. Reed missed nine field goals that season and the Steelers finished 6-10.

So between his off the field antics, his press poor choice of words in his press conferences, his underachieving on the field finally cost him his job.
On Tuesday, the Pittsburgh Steelers signed veteran, and journeyman kicker Shane Suisham who tried out for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2005 and was cut. He's kicked for the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Redskins.
For his career Suisham hasn't been anything impressive, just making 80 percent of his field-goal attempts.
That being said, Suisham has kicked at Heinz Field before and is a veteran. Suisham was released by two teams in one year last year.
He even has a play on youtube called "the choke". Suisham was kicking for the Redskins and had a chance to win the game with a 23-yard field goal attempt. He missed the kick. He also missed two kicks in the playoffs for the Dallas Cowboys last year.
