According to a search warrant filed just before midnight Thursday, a KCPD officer said they could smell "a moderate odor of alcoholic beverages" and that Britt Reid's eyes were bloodshot and red.

Britt Reid told the officer he'd had two to three drinks, according to the search warrant application. He also said said he took Adderall by prescription.

The officer wrote in the warrant that he observed signs of impairment, after which Reid complained of stomach pain and was transported to an area hospital for treatment.

Once at the hospital, the officer requested a blood draw from Britt Reid and a Jackson County judge approved the request. The search warrant application also references that a"a computer check revealed ... multiple prior DUI contacts."

Fry him.

Well, I guess this will become a big story and of course rightly so, Lets see what the facts yield. Let's also remember addiction runs deep in the family and that Andy lost a son a few years back to addiction. While that doesn't excuse anything of course it's still a painful fact that could be in play. here, Hopefully it's just a simple accident and nothing more. If he was under the influence then of course there needs to be repercussions

He really deserves a HC job. He's paid his dues, unlike some of these hires recently.

He should go to the Rams, he would be s head coach with in a year

Eh, a lot of drug/alcohol addiction is perfectly legal (given you can purchase it all legally).

Fatass/Obese people sympathizers: "OMG they are so overweight, that is so sad! Blame the fast food Companies! These people are victims OMG food is an addiction and people can't help themselves, it's not their fault they are wasting TENS if not HUNDREDS of thousands of taxpayer/insurance dollars every year!"

Despite various drugs/alcohol being legal when it comes to an addict of drugs/alcohol: "OMGG THESE MONSTERS OMFOMFFMFFFFFF FRY EM' FUCKIN BURY THESE FUCKS UNDER THE PRISON FOMFOMFOFMFFFF!"

The response? "Well fat people don't kill others, like druggies/drunks do!" Uhh... well they kind of do... given they are in the hospital 24/7 and taking up bed space as well as hiking up insurance premiums for everyone Nationwide... yah.... THEY KIND OF indirectly do. "BUT FREE HEALTHCARE FOR EVERYONE WOULD SOLVE THIS!" Yah go fuck yourself, these fatties are the reason it wouldn't work.

Not saying I think any of this is right, but the double standard in our society is quite amusing these days...

Andy's already lost one son so maybe now's a good time after the SB maybe to step away from coaching and help his other son with his drinking problem. He's had multiple DUI's and now a child in critical condition cause of his horrible judgement. I'm in no way saying Andy's a bad father but maybe he should be by his son's side for support and help him get through his demons and hopefully gets sober. I'm sure KC will have a place in the FO if Andy decides to return.

I tend to agree here. I remember that day when Andy lost his son Garret during the Eagles training camp. I believe this was Andy's final season with the Eagles if I'm not mistaken. This really took everything out of him, and rightfully so. Burrying your child has to be the hardest thing to overcome. And now his only kid get is involved in a car accident with young children in other vehicles with life threatening injuries has to take the life out of you as a parent.
I know there was a history of drug and alcohol abuse with both of his sons. I thought after his son Garret died, Andy would step away from the game. I think this may be the time to step away from football and focus on family. Just my opinion.

Reid's son is a grown ass man. Put him in jail and throw away the key before he kills somebody. How many times has this happened with him?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Doh

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

What a piece of human garbage this guy is

 

[DJ Fieri]

And Andy Reid may not coach in the SB.....

 

[DonMan]

Hope the kid pulls through and that piece of trash goes to jail.

Generally speaking, in these types of situations, the driver only goes to jail if somebody dies. So hopefully that won't happen.

Now we need to combine these threads, damnit. My thoughts as a recovering alchoholic (24 years 3 mos 12 days and counting), yes, it's an addiction but, YOU DON'T GET BEHIND THE FUCKING WHEEL. Hell, back in the day, I got fucking frostbite walking home from the bar in winter. You just don't drive, ever. And this idiot could have got an uber. It's just dumb.
In the other thread, people talk about Andy stepping away from the job he loves to help his kids. They are fucking grown-ups. It's not up to Andy to coddle his younguns. These kids grew up in comfort and privilege because their dad made good dough. I grew up poor but it wasn't my fucking parents fault that I became a fucking alchoholic. It was mine and mine alone and it was me who put an end to it, not my parents. I was a fucking adult responsible for my own actions. This dude is a fucking moron.
And lastly, in this modern age where ubers and taxis are readily available and the league even pays for it, there should be a zero tolerance policy on DUIs. No poor, poor, pitiful me bullshit. It's a privilege to work in the league, not a right. Just my 2 fucking cents.

I never drive once I have started drinking.....if I plan on drinking I get my errands done beforehand.

No fucking excuses anymore to be driving drunk, so many car services, or you can walk, take a bus, not to mention calling a friend, relative, or your team which also offers a car service.
