Andy Reid's son, the Chiefs linebacker coach crashed his car into a car with little little children in it. A five year old has life threatening injuries. My mind goes right to his past, hope it's not the case and hope the kids can recover.
 
Another question is, why was he in KC on Thursday and not Tampa?
 
It amazes me that in this day and age with Uber and Lift literally at your fingertips, this stuff still happens.
I've had to leave my car places before and grab an Uber. The key is getting so bent that driving is not an option - most people will drive home slightly buzzed.

Media often talk about distractions for stuff that doesn't actually matter. This is not that. This is a true distraction.

I very much hope that child survives. It sounds like their family was helping a disabled vehicle and got hit.

Agreed, it could be he just had a beer or 2 but I doubt it. If he's drinking a couple of nights before the biggest game of his life and getting into a crash common sense tells me he still has a very serious problem.
 
I knew Touchdown Tommy was gonna get leverage somehow. It’s over..at least for Reid. Wow!

Wrong son.
 
Wrong son.
No it's not. Both of Reid's sons have shady pasts.

"In 2007, Britt was sentenced to 8 to 23 months in jail alongside his brother Garrett for running a "drug emporium" from their home. [5]

Reid was involved in a road rage incident in 2007 where he pointed a gun at another man's face. A lawsuit was eventually settled out of court for an undisclosed sum in 2014."

Cheap people are cheap. That will never change.
People are cheap, but people who drive drunk don’t do it because they are cheap. They do it because they are arrogant. I’ve known a couple people who ALWAYS used to drink and drive (not talking 2 or 3 beers either, more like 6+) because they thought they could. For many years it was no problem. Until “that one time” and it ends badly. Getting behind the wheel blasted is possibly the most selfish thing someone can do in today’s society.
 
The NFLPA covers Uber costs for all players to prevent any DUI's. I wonder if individual teams have their own policies to cover coaches. This dude a total genius but knowing how KC covers for child beaters, it shouldn't surprise anyone if they sweep it under the rug. Scumbag organization from top to bottom.

Dude, it's the NFL every team is a scumbag organization.

Addiction is real and doesn't care about family status, IQ, or income.

That being said, given this guy's history, no way should any team's ownership allowed this person to have direct team responsibilities and not have him on a short leash on conduct. And no way, under any circumstances should he be in public drinking and in no way should he be drinking anywhere while also taking Adderall.

It's clear he's a functioning addict but no way am I buying this was a one off incident. Way more likely he's been doing this for years and it finally caught up to him.

He doesn't need daddy or anyone else running interference for him. He's an adult and people need to treat him like they treat any adult addict with a history or relapses.
 
You have to wonder about Andy Reid with 2 drug and alcohol abusing sons. I’m sure he’s tried everything to get him straightened out but putting him as coach with that background? since it’s multiple times Andy has to take some blame here.
 
Just a very selfish decision to your team to do this on the Thursday of Super Bowl week. Of course that doesn't even pale in comparison to put lives at risk on the road. Anyone with a drug history shouldn't be drinking.

Selfishness is a key characteristic of addiction.

Addicts tend to do things to feed their addiction over the consideration of how their addiction affects others.

Wow.

This a distraction no doubt and a loss of a position coach is a big deal, however the Chiefs can handle distractions. Not quite Eugene Robinson or Barett Robbbins game day distractions. Still leaning toward picking TB.
 
Horrible story, prayers to the little girl and her family.

My impression of Reid (and I was in Philly during his first HC gig) was always that he was a standup guy. I am guessing he's done everything in his power to help his sons. Maybe I'm wrong but his players love him. Maybe he treated his sons differently. I don't know. It doesn't seem like he deserves this as a dad.

What's interesting about the article is the quote about Reid stating he had 2-3 drinks and the officers stating he had bloodshot eyes. I have checked my eyes after 2-3 drinks and I probably weigh 50-100 pounds less than him - they're never bloodshot. I think he had a good bit more to drink than he stated.
 
We’ve been installing and monitoring breathalyzers in Florida for over 5 years and whenever a driver offers an amount they allegedly consumed to the police it’s almost always a fraction of what they had actually consumed. By admitting to a small amount the belief is the police will believe them and not request any testing when the opposite is true . By admitting to drinking the police are required to request you submit to a breathalyzer or blood test especially when there’s property damage and 100% when there’s injuries. We have people coming in with 4/5 DUI’s and have absolutely no remorse or regrets about their actions. The penalties need to be increased dramatically.

To a meth head, coke addict drug dealer maybe Jr. sees 2 to 3 drinks as nothing to write home about.

Oops.

People are only half of the problem. The other half are industries which profit greatly from heavy drinking. What if bars (or restaurants) had 2 drink limits if you didn’t walk, take public transport or arrive in an Uber/Lyft? We want to penalize people but we enable their behavior. We tell them that it’s illegal to get in a car and drive drunk. We also allow establishments to sell the same people quantities of alcohol that get them drunk. I’m not saying the driver is not to blame but we don’t exactly put them in a position to succeed.
