Hey, What Happened to Ed Reed?

With the celebration of the Steelers AFC Championship game victory dying down late in the night (or early in the morning), one question popped into my head...what happened to Ed Reed? In case you forgot, Reed is that safety from Baltimore who is supposed to be the greatest defensive player on Earth and better than Troy Polamalu. Yeah...well after the Steelers crushing win over the Ravens, I'm trying to figure out where Ed Reed was because I didn't see him at all during the game. I did see him talking to Mike Tomlin following the game so he was, in fact, in Pittsburgh. Well, I came up with a couple ideas of where Reed was during the game tonight...

Maybe Ed didn't know how many more trips he would be making to the 'Burgh that he had to check out Primanti Brothers to see if it was as good as advertised.

Or he could of had a dinner date with Eagles coach Andy Reid last night to discuss Reid's failures as a head coach...again.

Ed possibly could have been too stressed out waiting for the game to start and decided to ride the Duquesne Incline on Mt. Washington and just lost track of time. That could be it.

Or Ed could have really wanted to cruise the three rivers and rode the Majestic up and down the river all night.

If you didn't catch the sarcasm in this post then you're a mess. In all seriousness, Reed was in the official stat line. You wants cold, hard facts?
Ed Reed, two tackles. Troy Polamalu, three tackles, one interception, one touchdown and one ticket to Tampa. 'Nuff said.
