Andy Reid taking a month off from the team

i dont feel bad for them. its reid that i feel bad for

i dont feel bad for them. its reid that i feel bad for

But if they're not going to jail, why??? No consequences for being douchebags. Andy can resume life as normal once it all blows over.

I'm not understanding why the pity on Andy.

Bull he made up this whole "kid" thing. He really is taking time off to focus on Philly cheese steaks.

OK, I saw no link to what his kids did so can someone inform me.

I pity Andy as I would pity any parent whose kids are acting like idiots and ruining their lives. Maybe when you have kids you'll feel the same way.

It's big news around here in the Philly area as you can imagine. His older son, the 23 year old, caused a traffic accident and was found to be under the influence of heroin. He could be charged with DUI, a misdemeanor offense.

The 21-year old is accused of pointing a gun at someone during an argument. He's been charged with a felony: carrying a gun without a license, plus lesser charges of being in possession of drugs and being a general ass to police.

Well I do have one daughter, though she's not really old enough to get in this kind of trouble, being only 4 months old.

Secondly, I wouldn't want anyone to pity me. Not to open a whole can of worms here, but I'm of the thinking that the actions of the kids reflect upon the parents. If my daughter did something like this, I would accept the fact that it reflects bad on me and the job I did raising her.

It's no coincidence that BOTH of his kids are douchebags. He definitely had a role; should have raised them better.

Fair enough. We're both entitled to our opinions. I just feel sorry for the guy, even if he did screw up as a parent and even if those screwups caused the problems his kids created.

i have a 19 year old daughter that is constantly in and out of trouble. if there was a manual on how to raise a kid, i wrote it. from being strict on grades, watching her friends, and being totally involved in her life. that was me. my thinkings are you can be the best parent ever. but there comes a time in your child's life when he/ she starts making their own decisions. all you can do is what you think is best for the both of you. ill bet your 4 month old looks like a little princess right now. but until you have walked in someone else's shoes, get off your high horse
