Andy Reid Suspension Speculation Thread

On Friday, prosecutors charged 24-year-old Garrett Reid with five additional drug counts related to 89 pills he had smuggled into prison. His cellmate said he saw Reid remove the pills from his rectum and that Reid offered him some of the pills.

On Thursday night, police searched the Reid home to corroborate the cellmate's story. They found numerous drugs in Garrett Reid's room, including several prescriptions in his name and other prescriptions in his brother's name. They also found two syringes and eight needles.

The judge noted that Andy and Tammy Reid love their sons and have supported them through repeated attempts at drug rehabilitation. But he wondered aloud how the parents could be blind to the long list of drugs, guns and ammunition that police found in the Reids' home and vehicles.

"These are highly addictive medications that are just around the house with two addicts in it," O'Neill said. "It sounds more or less like a drug emporium."

SI.com: I want to be on the record. Has Michael ever, at any point, said to you he's been involved in dogfighting?

Goodell: No ... His comments to me were very consistent with what he said publicly: That he does not have any involvement in dogfighting, that he loves dogs, that he would not have any interest in that, that it wasn't happening at his property, and that was his discussion ... And I was very clear with him that if it's happening on your property, it's your responsibility.

So, I'm thinking at least 4 games. Right?

Oh gotcha, white coach with adult thugs in his house and all is good.

Never mind, nothing to see here!

Why are cocaine sentences MUCH shorter than crack sentences?

[Fonkey123]

But seriously, I don't even know how to respond to this thread. If someone digs a hole in your yard and plants illegal narcotics, etc. does that become the responsibility of the property owner?

I really don't want Romo to play versus the eagles, so I'm gonna plant some coke in his house, so Goddel suspends him?

I know I'm using hyperbole, but my analogy is as different as your scenario in this situation.

Though I tend to agree with what you are implying, didn't Reid's son test positive for smack?

Is it possible that Goodell could assume that Andy having to watch his children lose precious years of their lives in prison already be punishment enough?

I'm actually being serious here and not sure what else to say. I can see it both ways, Goodell has to do something to remain consistent or we can assume what I already said. I just don't know, and that why he is the commisioner and I'm not.

Andy Reid's kids continually bought and sold drugs and had illegally purchased guns in his home. Imagine if Edgerrin James' cousin gets busted for this.

Needle,

Clearly there's a divide between how coaches and players are punished. I can't explain why, but I'm sure like you said even when you can't explain it you kinda understand why it exists. That doesn't make it any less frustrating though.
