Andy Reid’s parenting seems to have been sub-par.

Parenting is no guarantee of outcome.........

and his Daddy is speaking for him?

What would you do when a piranha news crew surrounds you with microphones? Do you really think he called up the MSM and said I have something to say?

It never works that way bro......

I’m going to wait and see how this unfolds. There is nothing about his actual blood alcohol level, or whether the cars were parked so that he couldn’t see them as he approached, or what the details are. Sometimes accidents are just that.

What is the deal with coach’s relatives working for them. I imagine it’s more nepotism than it is being qualified for the job. If this guy has such a drug and alcohol program, he never should have gotten this job in the first place.

Good point, but Hunter didn’t need a job to make millions from his family’s corruption. This NFL team was pretending Reid was actually contributing something to the organization.

It makes you wonder if there is anything like justice in this country now that Hunter is still not in jail, and Biden is president. It’s third-world level corruption.

I’m sorry about what happened to your brother.
That’s something one never fully ‘gets over’.
I lost my youngest sister to natural causes back in 2016.
She was 54. y.o.
Sometimes I have to remind myself that she’s not here to talk with anymore.

Leaving a child in a car parked on an interstate ramp isn’t a good idea.

And getting ON an interstate with no gas in the tank doesn’t show good judgment, either.

As for the ramps - it looks like most of the ones along there are wide with good shoulders, but at least one of them was narrow with a wall on one side and a ditch on the other. So without knowing the actual location, it’s hard to determine how poor the judgment was in leaving a car full of children there.

I get that persons of color that run on fumes are less likely to have Triple A or a competing roadside assistance program, but asking a friend or neighbor to watch the kids while bringing a can of gas might have been the better option (unless they were planning on using a Georgia Credit Card to move gas from one tank to the other).

I have 4 siblings who have two divorces each. I have never been divorced and married 48 years. They made their choices and I live with mine!

Same here, but I don't equate my siblings' divorces to a heroin overdose death at the Eagles training camp or the DUI near death of a five year old.   Especially when the family was raised Mormon where that sort of thing is supposedly unconscionable.   So, Andy Reid a horrible parent? Yes, without a doubt, and I cannot understand your defense of him.

The NFL don’t care until you stop producing and/or cause too much embarrassment.

Pretty clear who the spiritual leader of the household was when the boys were growing up.

My reading is one car ran out of gas on an interstate ramp. Running out of gas on the interstate is not illegal but it isn’t very smart either. Having a car in the breakdown lane, I believe at night, is very dangerous. Having a second car join you with small kids is not illegal but adds to the stupidity particularly if they park behind you. I also wonder if a dad was in the picture? I gather the small kids could not have been left home. Doesn’t excuse the coach’s son but people make bad choices which increases their risks.

Regarding the coach, I have read it can be difficult to be a child of a famous parent. It is doubly difficult if your dad is a high demand job like an NFL coach.

All one can do is say prayers for all those involved and others involved in similar circumstances that do not reach MSM consciousness. It is a difficult time for all involved.

My argument is why should this tragic accident be given front page, international headlines over the daily deaths from drunk drivers across this country?

Why not, it was the son of a Chief's coach..................Pathetic BS
