SteelerWatch

In March I reported that DeShea Townsend — the Steelers’ uber-shyguy and about as violent as Mahatma Gandhi — was being charged with assault after being involved in a fight. He ardently opposed the charges, saying he wasn’t a participant, and he has now been exonerated.

According to the Baltimore Sun, four of the six witnesses said he wasn’t involved; the other two weren’t sure.

The judicial reprieve means that Pittsburgh will remain free of felonious footballers. I’m trying to come up with a shot at Baltimore (former home of Jamal “Smoky” Lewis and current home of Ray “Got Away With It” Lewis) and Cincinnati (home of the NFL’s felon du-jour) but there are so many jokes in my head right now that I can’t settle on one. We’ll just Mad Lib this thing and let you fill in your own:

I got ________ed (crime) by __________ __________ (name of Raven or Bengal) and all I got was this lousy SteelerWatch shout-out.
