Andy Reid's son involved in car accident

Brit Reid. Admitted to drinking. A 5 and 6 year old were injured, one of which having life threatening injuries.

And Brit Reid is an assistant linebackers coach for the Chiefs.

Sheesh

why would he do that on Super Bowl week.... makes no sense.....

  Who was Green Hornet Alex

Tragic...

If his car injured/killed kids this will be awful. 

We don't know if he was over the legal limit yet.

When I read about the girl, my heart sank.

Andy Reid's other son committed suicide years ago. He was a heroin addict. Philly was brutal that year.

How distracting is this just 2 days before the SB?

Thoughts and prayers to the family in that car 

One of the kids has life threatening injuries? What horrific timing??? This takes the air out of the football and is one major distraction for KC.

Officer's statement not too good...says "multiple prior DUI contacts".  Reid said 2-3 drinks (but don't they all).  4 & 5 year olds...come on man.

Football?

I feel horrible about this, it’s sickening and only makes it 100x worse if this pos was driving drunk. 

From a gambling perspective, this ain’t good for KC. It’s just bad juju man.

Exactly my thoughts. How can they let this team win now?

They probably won't let them win now as they don't want the Chiefs to be the face of the NFL...especially now with all of the controversy and ratings being in the toilet and turning off millions of fans with their SJW crap. 

My mom's gone long ago dude...smoked too much...not happy with my KC bet either.  Cheers.

Yeah no worries man...BOL to you too

Hard to bet on this team or game now. These kinds of events trump everything. How will the players get up to play this game. If Reid’s son had been a victim, it would be another story. But the only thing he was a victim of is bad parenting, and it’s hard to see the NFL rewarding Reid for that. 

Buying out of you bets because of this? What a bunch of dummies

At this point, Tampa should be favored by 3. 

Hey, dummy. Do you know anything about sports psychology?! You think this will galvanize the team. Let’s go win one for Andy and his alcoholic, child-slaughtering son?! Let’s give a championship trophy to Andy and ask him how his alcoholic child-slaughtering son is doing in jail? Do people on this site have any brain cells left? 

Yeah, you are spot on there...this is the kind of story that won't go away in two days, it will cast a gloom and doom shroud over what is supposed to be an enjoyable diversion. 

That line is bound to move in the other direction...

Fake story.

Yes it was

If this story takes a turn for the worse tomorrow, I will have to reevaluate my pick. The NFL has Mahomes locked in for the next 12-15 years, they’re not worried about him not winning again. League perception is important. Will wait for more news on this.

Actually it isn't. Team wins one for the ol coach.

As much as I hate to do it, I’m actually contemplating betting the Buccaneers. The last time something this awful happened for a sports team (that was a huge distraction in a negative way) was when the Sterling racist tapes came out. The result was the favored road team, the Clippers, getting manhandled against the Warriors on the road in the playoffs. The team was so out of sorts, it wasn’t even close.
