After months of shunning the media about personal issues, Eagles Coach Andy Reid and his wife are speaking out about their family's troubles. They've decided to do an interview with Philadelphia Magazine.
What do you think of the Reids breaking their silence?

Who cares??? Their children are grown adults with adult problems. Everybody has dirty laundry. They should keep family matters private. Why do they care about what the public thinks. The issues they face should be decide via the legal system, and through addiction counciling. Regardless of who their parent are, the treatment should be the same as for any other offender. As far as I'm concerned, Andy should have made a clear choice to help his family over and above his commitments to the Eagles. I believe the Eagles are 6-8 because Andy could not focus on the task at hand because of the issues at home. The converse is true.....his family can't heal until both parents address the underlying issues.

What a selfless thing to reveal their private matters in hopes that their celebrity status can make others aware that these problems cross all social classes. That the boys have been struggling with drugs for many years and Andy headed up a team that went to the Superbowl in Feb of 2005 shows that it has NOT affected his ability to do his job. As a parent, my heart goes out to Tammy and Andy as they try to get the help that Brett and Garrett need to live clean and sober lives. My prayers will be with them, and all who struggle with sobriety for a loved one or personally. The Reids have shown such class during a terribly trying time.

Selfless???? Wrong adjetive, try self aggrandizing. They are trying to paint(spin if you will) this situiation in a manner that so that they come up smelling like a rose. Selfless would have been resigning from the coaching (they can afford it)position and diving in head first to address the family issues. Football is secondary. BTW...we lost that Superbowl and I fear that until Andy puts his family ahead of football, thats not all he'll lose. Don't get me wrong , I'm not heartless, but too many folks feel they family is secondary to everything else. That's why we have family situations like this in the first place.

Hey!!!.."let he that has never sinned, cast the first stone".. Maybe Andy made some mistakes in the rearing of his sons, but who hasn't?

Just because he's a public figure doesn't mean we should judge him differently than we would judge ourselves. I know being a head football coach of an NFL*(trademark) team is a time consuming , and often obsessive job. but his sons are grown men!

Look yourself in the mirror tomorrow morning and ask yourself " could this happen to my son/daughtter?

Never really know for sure, do you?

I was not judging, I mearly mentioned that in time of crisi he should have focused on the family crisis, not football.....this Reid family crisis is much larger than football, and should be treated accordingly. No judgement here.
