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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.
