About Tonight's Game Against the Jets
Yeah, I don't really care much, either.
I just think it's really too bad, though, that Andy Reid is going to be out there coaching tonight when he should really be at home doing something about his son's situation.
I mean, we know he's offered the best possible legal resources -- of which his son seems to have availed himself -- and we can guess that he's also offered the best possible treatment for the underlying problem -- which maybe hasn't been accepted just yet -- but there has to be something else he can do.
I realize this young man is actually older than some of the professional players Reid coaches and that addiction isn't something that can be kicked until the person himself decides it's a problem, but from my vantage point, many miles away from the issue and without any sense at all of what's happening behind closed doors, I can definitively (and dare I say smugly?) tell you that Reid is doing the wrong thing.
Hippocrite.

Way to step up and be a bastard, kicking a man when he's down. I think that BGN's words apply to you, too.

The link works, but visitors to philly.com can only access the Dana Pennett O'Neil piece through the "most viewed in this section" links within other Eagles articles. Must not have been well received. Serves her right for her ivory tower moralizing.

Mike, he was being sarcastic.

Ah, my bad. I've been out of Philly for way too long. Make myself look like an ass, great.
Apologies

No worries, I was as pissed as you were when I read her original column.
