To Sheetz or Not to Sheetz?



Big news coming from the Pittsburgh Steeler's over the weekend. Kicker Jeff Reed takes his towels seriously, a good thing for a franchise who's fans are unquestionably the best towel wavers in all of professional sports (my apologies to all NHL hockey teams, you all are a little half assed compared to these guys). But how serious is too serious?

Saturday morning, just before 3:00am, reacting to the lack of paper towels in a Sheetz gas station/convenience store, Reed threw himself a good ol' temper tantrum. The result, one broken towel dispenser and one shocked store clerk, questioning the integrity, character, and maturity of the two-time Super Bowl Champion.

Wait, never mind about the whole integrity thing. Reed, according to a Google Image search is more famous for partying and taking pictures of himself shirtless than he is a professional football player. I mean, look at him in this picture. He looks like a Sophomore in high school posing with the starting varsity quarterback. Just try to ignore how awkward former President Bush appears. Even then-Rookie Nate Washington, to the left, thinks Jeff Reed looks like he's taking a picture with the hot bartender at Senor Frog's in Cancun during spring break.

In the end, however, there is an important lesson for all of us to take from this Sheetz incident: When faced with the ultimate decision, it would be to your benefit to drive that extra 15 minutes to the nearest 7-Eleven in order to avoid the unkempt bathrooms of your local Sheetz.
