Eagles coach Andy Reid and his wife have finally spoken publicly about their two sons' drug problems, in a tear-jerking interview to be published next week in Philadelphia Magazine, AP reports. The Reids broke their silence as a way to "reach out to those who are going through similar situations," the coach said.
Andy Reid was affected by the six weeks he spent accompanying his son Garrett in addiction counseling, realizing that many suffering from addictions "are not bad people, it encompasses everybody." The Reids also defended Andy's decision not to step down from his coaching position, and hoped that the interview might clear things up for his players as well as the public. (More Andy Reid stories.)
