If I were Andy Reid I would retire and straighten out my family. He already has money, he needs to take care of his other problems. As a man it is the more honorable thing to do.

God that would be great. I don't wish anything bad on his family, on the contrary, but Reid is now officially the NFL's version of Al Gore.

Re: Andy Reid's Son Passes Lyndsay Lohan Driving School Exam
 

Yeah in all seriousness, both his kids have serious problems it seems and I don't think anyone would hold it against him if he said that he needed some time off to handle things at home.

He already did once, but it was much easier for him to do it back in February when all he was missing was mini-camp.

Re: Andy Reid's Son Passes Lyndsay Lohan Driving School Exam
 

thats just messed up,hard enough to have a regular job and deal with family issues like that,but trying to run a pro football team and have that stress is too much.His kids are adults,taking time off might help him,but I doubt if it will help his kids,they need some serious rehab,he cant hold their hands his whole life,sometimes you just have to say my kids are fked up and do the tuff love thing till they get their shit together

You can't coach class. One is born with class. It's unfortunate that Reid's kids aren't as classy as him.

I'm going to disagree a little. These are adults. They need to learn that the universe doesn't stop because they got in a jam. It might be better for him to carry on and let these two deal with their problems like men.

I somewhat agree with you, but how much do you attribute their attitude towards their father not being around much because he is a dedicated football coach? I believe that is a major part of the problem.

I agree. It's not like we're dealing with 15 year olds here. These guys are 22 and 24 and they both apparently still live with mommy and daddy. I say tough love should be the route.

I agree that they are men and should take responsibility for their actions. Age however does not always dictate maturity. I am no expert nor did I observe their upbringing, but I do not feel that they were ever fully developed in the home by their parents. Therefore, they aren't truly adults, but 22 and 24 year old kids.

I think we are a product of our parents up to a certain extent. They can only guide you so much. Once you hit the age of free will (~15) it's all about how much self respect you have and the types you associate with. I can only imagine the kind of friends the Reids have.

Don't get me wrong, I think there's plenty of blame to go around but ultimately you have to have pride and respect yourself more than anything else.

My dad is a very successful guy, and wasn't around that much when I was a kid. I had a couple of bumps in the road, but nothing close to these GROWN MEN. They are screwing up in a BIG way. Lots of narcotics, guns, DWI's... The last thing that's gonna do them any good is someone making anymore excuses for them. Frankly these kids that grow up so privledged should accept the responsibility and turn into leaders, not people we make apologies for. I don't feel sorry for his son one bit. Straighten up pal. Welcome to life.

Re: Andy Reid's Son Passes Lyndsay Lohan Driving School Exam
 

Also consider though that Reid has 3 more kids younger than this one. I wonder how those kids are (2 girls and a boy I think)

You are absolutely correct. It comes down to self respect and a strong mind against physical desires. Also if you are going to do drugs or drink, then don't get behind the wheel of a car. Plan on having everything you need or may want at the house before you get your fix.

Even more of a reason to set the standard: This stuff WILL NOT be tolerated. What kind of message does it send to the younger siblings if their older brothers can get away with this kind of shit and still have all of mommy and daddy's support??

I see your point and I agree, however if you or I turned out to be screw ups wouldn't our fathers feel the least bit responsible? I know that whenever my kids screw up I blame myself and punish them. So absolutely, they should not be coddled, but that type of parenting needed to be present all along and probably wasn't.

I wouldn't feel responsible if I did my duty as a parent. I would, however, feel sad.

Exactly as long as you feel that you did your part as the parent.

FYI these boys get whatever is comming to them by both the law and Andy. I was just saying that if I was Andy I would retire just to yank a knot in their asses.

Re: Andy Reid's Son Passes Lyndsay Lohan Driving School Exam
 

On second thought I want him to retire for other reasons. I would never leave a job just to straighten out my kids so why should he. What it all comes down to is he needs to make the best decision for himself.

Yeah you cant just quite right before the start of the season because your grown sons are misbehaving. Its not like you wife found out she has cancer and only has a couple of months to live.

I personaly would love to see him quite right now though. I dont like it when we beat teams due to injuries of key players, but locker turmoil and coaching disfunction are great.

I agree. He doesn't need to work for money, unless he's bad with money and has blown it, so he should take a break from football to get his kids straight. It could be a combination of not having dad around or just from the kids being in Philly (the place is horrible, one of the moral toilets of the nation down there with San Fran, New Orleans and Detroit).

A career is temporary. Kids are for a lifetime, unless they get drunk or high and die in a car accident.

No one would think bad of him for tending to things at home. In fact, it needs to be done, so many would think more highly of him as a person.

You're probably speaking on principle and I respect that, but your decision might be a little different if you made millions like he has. It's not feasible for most people to do it. I would change jobs if my kids needed attention and I had a job like he did that keeps me on the road most of the time though.

Re: Andy Reid's Son Passes Lyndsay Lohan Driving School Exam
 

Family first, especially if you have already made millions and more than you will need for your lifetime.

I agree 100% Reid should just keep on coaching. He needs to give them some tough love right now. Both kids are grown up and they know right from wrong. It comes a point in a man's life where you need to start being a man. Perhaps some jail time will straighten these kids out.

I would say family comes first if someone is ill. But if your kids are grown men and they are going around acting like hood rats then let them fend for themselves.

Re: Andy Reid's Son Passes Lyndsay Lohan Driving School Exam
 

I feel bad for Reid and his family. I'm not going to pass any judgement as to what he should or shouldn't be doing... I just hope in the end he can get things worked out for the best.

Re: Andy Reid's Son Passes Lyndsay Lohan Driving School Exam
 

I don't see how taking time off would help his kids situations. They need to be men and realize that they have substance abuse problems. Reid can't do that for them. I have had problems in the past and the only way they can get through is to want to quit themselves. No one can tell them they have to quit. If they do it probably won't help. It has to be a personal decision.

Sounds like that's the main problem. People like that usually don't suddenly do a 180 and admit they have a problem without some help and guidance.

Re: Andy Reid's Son Passes Lyndsay Lohan Driving School Exam
 

Yes I agree in part to that, but there does come a time (especially if you are faced with incarciration (no experience there) that you have to look at the decisions you have made in life and say hey I fucked up. I'm not of any use to my fellow man if I continue down this path.

True, but it's easier said than done. Otherwise we wouldn't have so many people with these kinds of problems.

Re: Andy Reid's Son Passes Lyndsay Lohan Driving School Exam
 

agreed.

Re: Andy Reid's Son Passes Lyndsay Lohan Driving School Exam
 

I remember getting a DWI on a suspended license while I was in college some 16 years ago. Had to stay in jail for 17 hours in a green jumpsuit. That was enough to straighten my ass out.

In the old days 20 was when you were considered to be an adult, but the way things are today, being pampered and all the academia liberalism, kids aren't really grown up today until around 25, if then. It doesn't seem to me that Andy's kids will ever grow up. I hate the Eagles (not quite as much as the Cowboys), but I feel sorry for Andy Reid.
