More on this
Kid was dealing and doing drugs years ago. House was a drug imporium, with illegal drugs and prescribed drugs everywhere. Killer was judge says he doesn't think kids should be living in that home, no structure that he could see.
Reid not only was an absent dad, he fed the kids money, let them live in his house with this going on? Even after they were arrested, in HIS HOUSE?
I worry about the three younger kids living in that home. Thats sad/dangerous for them.
My 18 year old started acting like that no money and thrown out to get a job. But, heck I'd have been there at least during his childhood.
Classic family that from the outside looks perfect.......

LOL, just think about it, you know how the reporters try to get bits of info from the coaches running into the lockerroom during half-time? well one could ask, "hey coach, what are you going to do 2nd half to turn it around?", "well 1st of all, I'm going to see my son, he's in the holding cell" lol

I think Reid is ok, he is mostly never home.
And if he was, there was no structure in the house to brazenly have drugs everywhere in the house AFTER the arrests (multiple).
Not to mention that 3 younger kids are still living there. DCYS and Social Services should be called in to investigate the living conditions.

I swear, when I am dealing with wife issues sometimes, I do believe it would be easier to be gay, but alas, I am straight.

It's gonna be a crying shame if John Goodman doesn't end up playing Andy Reid in the movie...

Understand one of Reid's other children is autistic or something like that. Could be both parents have too many outside interests or his wife has more problems on her hands dealing with her kids then she can handle alone. If there are younger children at home (besides Reid's 2 eldest sons & their autistic child), then for their sake Reid needs get his priorities straight. Maybe the fact he only took off 5 weeks to deal with his family problems says all that needs to be said about his fathering skills/priorities.

bingo - Reid chose football over his family past 20 years. Thats a harsh fact.
And that his home was laced with prescribed drugs and illegal drugs post arrest nails the fact there is no structure in the Reid house.
These are not kids that made a small boo boo. These are menaces to society, that are locked up for tangible reasons...

Heroin addiction is no joke. Its obvious that the guy had DTs the last time he was in the klink so he brought some in the only way he knew how to prevent another bout.
Severe opiate withdrawal will make people do crazy things and is one reason no matter how involved with the scene i got i never touched needles. It debases a human moreson than anything ive ever seen.
The whole empowerment he got from dealing in bad neighborhoods is bizarre. Normally its done because you make money there and not because it makes you feel special. just weird weird stuff. the guy doesnt need to go to jail. he needs some medical and psychiatric help or hes just going to get out and seek the same behavior again.
Redi needs to have the kid committed. Although i was never that old or that bad being home isnt going to help. when my folks tried to put the clamps down on me i just left. is reid supposed to go driving around like a crazy person? Its not as if his son is 18 either. hes is 24 years old and while Reid probably should have been home a bit more during those NFC title runs at this point his son is going to have to seek answers to his own demons.

REID'S CRISIS CAN'T BE OVERSTATED
After having a chance to study in more detail the Thursday comments of Judge Steven T. O'Neill and the revelations made regarding the broader scope of conduct of the oldest two sons of Eagles coach Andy Reid, we're increasingly troubled by the situation -- and we can't imagine Reid being able to continue as the coach of the team after the 2007 season.
The Judge lambasted Reid and his wife for creating and enabling the environment that resulted in Garrett and Britt Reid developing chemical dependency problems that resulted in both of them committing crimes for which they will be incarcerated.
On one hand, it's easy to argue that Garrett and Britt Reid, both of whom are in their 20s, are grown men. On the other hand, modern parents tend to hover more and more over their children, even after they become "adults." Especially when they still live with mom and dad.
Regardless, these boys/men likely didn't wake up one day as fully-formed adults and decided to start taking and/or selling drugs. Indeed, it was disclosed on Thursday that Garrett Reid began selling cocaine in North Philadelphia five years ago.
"'I liked being the rich kid in that area and having my own high-status life,' " Garrett was quoted as saying. "'I could go anywhere in the 'hood. They all knew who I was. I enjoyed it. I liked being a drug dealer. . . . These kids were scared of me,' " O'Neill quoted Garrett as saying. "'I was even selling to their parents . . . . I turned everyone on to Oxycontin.'"
The judge chided Reid and his wife for having a "drug emporium" in their house.
"I have some real difficulty with the structure in which these two boys live," Judge O'Neill said. "What is the supervision? . . . You got to take accountability of what goes on in the house. This is a family in crisis and we have to address it."
Reid's family crisis has quickly become a crisis for the Eagles' organization, and if the team doesn't parlay last week's win against the dreadfully bad Minnesota Vikings into a streak that culminates in a playoff berth, the calls from the media and the fans to step aside will only intensify.
And for good reason. If Reid can't properly take care of his own house, how can he be expected to properly take care of someone else's?

REID'S KIDS USED STEROIDS, TOO
Lost in Thursday's flurry of kidney punches to the image of Eagles coach Andy Reid was a disclosure that Garrett and Britt Reid used steroids as young athletes.
Let's repeat that.
The sons of an NFL head coach used steroids as youth athletes.
Wow.
What would the NFL do if it was revealed that a player's kids were or had been using steroids? Or if the player was accused of maintaining a "drug emporium" at his house? Cowboys assistant coach Wade Wilson was suspended five games for possessing HGH for his own use because, as Wilson was told, the league holds coaches to a higher standard.
How, then, can the league sit idly by in the wake of these troubling allegations about the things that were happening under Reid's roof?
It's a delicate situation, to be sure. But we suspect that the folks running the show are at least mildly troubled by the information that has been disclosed, and that this could manifest itself in the Eagles receiving not-so-subtle indications that the time might be coming to accept Reid's resignation -- even if he's not ready to provide it.

The Andy Reid supporters are rightly silent today.
There really is no defense for what is coming out. His coaching career in Philly is likely done after 2007. Maybe then he can visit his home some and put it back in order. There clearly is no structure there as the court stated.

Reid doesn't necessarily have supporters here as much as he does people who recognize that he's a good football coach and admire that about him.Nors;1740359 said:
I am one of those, probably the most ardent, because I know him to be a good man, and my silence has nothing to do with the allegations raised in this.
My silence is that I do not wish to stir the crap. I'll leave that to those who enjoy the smell.

As you assert he may indeed be a good man as you know him and represent
I know he is a good coach
He is a poor father to allow those two criminals to live like that and have drugs everywhere in his house, while his 3 teenage kids reside there. Total negligence.
