Boozer76 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Couple questions-how old is Andy's son? I honestly don't know. Also, is there any proof or obvious clues that Andy's house was a "drug emporium"? I honestly don't know what the evidence is, but it's hard to blame a parent if his kid was secretly dealing drugs out of his house. Teenagers do things secretly so their parents don't know. If the kid is selling quarter bags of pot and stored it in his house, there is a very good chance Andy didn't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boozer76 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 they were heroin heads, worse than just pot That's why I'm asking, I honestly don't know the whole story. How long have they been drug addicts, and how old are they? I would suspect that a parent would be able to tell their kids are heroin addicts. At least they should. That being said, an NFL coach pretty much surrenders their role as a parent when they take the HC job. It is something you don't see alot about, but it reared it's ugly head with Tony Dungy's son.

Gainzo Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 This is not pretty. Judge critical of Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid's home By MARYCLAIRE DALE, Associated Press Writer November 1, 2007 NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) -- A judge who sentenced Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid's sons to jail on Thursday likened the coach's home to "a drug emporium" and questioned whether his adult sons should live there. "There isn't any structure there that this court can depend upon," Montgomery County Judge Steven O'Neill said before sentencing 22-year-old Britt Reid to up to 23 months in jail plus probation. "I'm saying this is a family in crisis," O'Neill said. Earlier Thursday, O'Neill sentenced 24-year-old Garrett Reid, a drug addict and dealer who said he got a thrill out of selling drugs in "the 'hood," to up to 23 months in jail for smashing into another motorist's car while high on heroin. O'Neill noted that searches of the Reid home found illegal and prescription drugs throughout the house. He said both boys had been overmedicated throughout much of their lives and that Britt got hooked on painkillers when he suffered a football injury in high school. "It sounds more or less like a drug emporium there, with the drugs all over the house, and you're an addict," O'Neill told Britt Reid. Andy Reid and his wife, Tammy, were in court but declined to comment. The judge said the parents clearly loved and supported their children and had tried many times over the years to get them help. "Andy and Tammy are supportive of their son. That has been their position since this all began. He will not comment on it," Garrett Reid's defense attorney, Ross Weiss, said before the judge's comments. Both Weiss and Britt Reid's attorney, William Winning, declined to comment after the hearing. Andy and Tammy Reid quickly were escorted by sheriff's deputies and their personal bodyguard through the courthouse basement. Both sons lived at their parents' home in the suburb of Villanova at the time of their arrests. Andy Reid took a five-week leave from the Eagles in the offseason to deal with his family's troubles. He has routinely declined to discuss his sons' legal problems, but said he would not resign from the team because of them. On Thursday, Britt Reid said everything he did, he did without his parents' knowledge, but O'Neill questioned that. Both Reids can apply for a special drug court program that would require them to report to authorities regularly, undergo rigorous drug testing and hold down jobs. The coach's two sons got into separate legal trouble Jan. 30. Garrett Reid tested positive for heroin and admitted having used it that day. He ran a red light in Plymouth Township and hit another car. Authorities found syringes with heroin and testosterone in his SUV. In a separate incident that same day, Britt Reid pointed a handgun at another driver following a dispute. He pleaded guilty to a string of charges, including carrying a firearm without a license, a felony. Britt Reid was sentenced to eight to 23 months in jail plus five years' probation on gun and drug charges. He can apply for the special drug program after five months. Garrett Reid was sentenced to two to 23 months in the county prison plus one year of probation. He told O'Neill that he would apply to the drug court program. "I don't want to be that kid who was the son of the head coach of the Eagles, who was spoiled and on drugs and OD'd and just faded into oblivion," he said in court. Senior Deputy Attorney General Marc Costanzo said authorities were satisfied with the sentence, noting "the drug court is the best part." Speaking in court and in a statement to a probation officer, Garrett Reid said he made a fast descent into hard drugs and enjoyed being the rich kid who dealt drugs in poor, violent Philadelphia neighborhoods and in the tony suburbs. His addiction persists, according to authorities, who found 89 prescription drug pills in Reid's jail cell Thursday morning. They believe he smuggled them in his rectum when he was jailed earlier this week. "That's consistent with someone as severely drug addicted as he is," prosecutor Costanzo said. Garrett Reid's descent in drug use and dealing was steep, according to a probation report read in court. Reid said he didn't use drugs until he graduated from high school, then started with marijuana and alcohol at age 18. That was followed by prescription pain killers Percocet and OxyContin, and then cocaine and heroin. By 20, he was in drug rehab. Reid said he sold drugs to his friends and their parents in the suburbs and in a notoriously tough section of Philadelphia. "I liked being the rich kid in that area and having my own high status life," Reid told a probation officer in a statement read by the judge. "I could go anywhere in the 'hood. They all knew who I was. I enjoyed it. I liked being a drug dealer." He said in court Thursday that he has stopped selling drugs. "I did get a thrill out of it," he said. "That was also part of the whole new world that opened up to me when I smoked that first joint." I stopped putting statements in bold as the entire article should be in bold.

K2C Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 His sons are scumbags. One had the nerve to say he felt great knowing he was a rich kid selling drugs in a ****ty neighborhood. I don't blame Andy. Their are plenty of kids who grow up WITHOUT parents and don't get in to **** like that...it's all in the company they keep. And oh yeah..his son called it selling "in the hood". You're white. Shut the **** up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetCane Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 The judge said the parents clearly loved and supported their children and had tried many times over the years to get them help. There's only so much one can do. Heroin addiction is as bad as it gets. it's not like these two scumbag kids were going to reason with or listen to parental advice. Sometimes, people are their own worst enemies, and they have to learn the hard way- in this kid's case- by going to jail. And if he's in jail, why does Reid need to resign? To visit him more?

After one of his sons was sentenced to 23 months in jail today the judge called his house a "drug emporium." It's a terrible situation for the Reid Family. Their boys will be in jail and by all reports we get from the media, drugs are very prolific in jails. They could very well come out worse than they went in. I do hope they all get the help they need so they can go on to live honest productive lives. Judge not, lest ye be judged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai Jet Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Hopefully the jail sentence will wake these two losers up. At 23,24 you pretty much are responsible for your own actions. It's gotta be a hell of a distraction for Reid though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gotta be a hell of a distraction for Reid though. It's hard to drum up much sympathy for a couple of rich white male kids as well. That is kind of like hitting the jackpot right there. What possible concievable barriers did they run into? These kids walked willing into the ghettoes, they weren't forced to live with it and survive like others that have ruined their lives.

No sympathy for these 2 losers who were born with the silver spoon in there mouths. They're both lucky that all they got was jail time. They could have both been toe tagged by now. Idiots!

shawn306 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I think Reid steps down after the season. There is no doubt that his sons troubles have laid heavy on his mind (as it would any parent) and it is probably time to step back from being "Andy Reid Head Coach Philadelphia Eagles" to being "Andy Reid Father" I know that if those were my kids I would probably take a good long look in the mirror at myself and instead of pointing the finger at someone, point the thumb at me and ask "What can I do ?" To quote Ray Lucas. There are some things more important than football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green DNA Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 After you smuggle a pill in your rectum, do you chew it or swallow quickly? I think the approach in prison is to use a foreign object to "pack" it a little further up the chute, where it will quickly be absorbed into the bloodsteam.
