Son of Eagles Coach Facing Additional Charges

In an update to an earlier post, Britt Reid, the son of Philadelphiav Eagles head coach Andy Reid, has been charged with, among other offenses, driving under the influence. The charges arise out of an incident that occurred last week outside of a Dick’s Sporting Goods store in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania. Reid the Younger was, at the time of his latest arrest, awaiting sentencing on separate weapons and drug related charges. His bail was revoked last week, and he now resides in county jail. I would expect yoing Mr. Reid will now be looking at serving some time as a guest of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (I would think 6 months or so). I hope that for his family’s and his own sake he can get his life in order and deal with his problems. Then his father can get back to worrying why his team can’t win big games.

Florida Marlins’ Pitcher Arrested for DUI

Dontrelle Willis was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving last night. Without offering any comment on the merits of the charges against Willis, I would suggest that urinating in the middle of the street in front of a police officer is a pretty good way to draw suspicion to yourself.
