Judge sentences 2 sons of Eagles coach to prison, says there is no reliable structure in household
Published on Friday, Nov 02, 2007
Associated Press
A judge who sentenced Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid's sons to prison Thursday likened the coach's home to ''a drug emporium'' and questioned whether Reid's adult sons should live there, given their drug problems.
''There isn't any structure there that this court can depend upon,'' Montgomery County, Pa., Judge Steven O'Neill said before sentencing Reid's son Britt to as long as 23 months in prison, plus probation.
''I'm saying this is a family in crisis,'' O'Neill said.
Earlier in the day, O'Neill sentenced Garrett Reid, a drug addict and dealer who said he got a thrill out of selling drugs in ''the 'hood,'' to as long as 23 months in prison for smashing into another motorist's car while high on heroin.
O'Neill said that searches of the Reid family's house and vehicles found a long list of drugs, guns and ammunition.
Although police found only weapons and ammunition — not drugs — in the house, O'Neill apparently based his remarks on Britt Reid's statement that he once mistakenly grabbed a Vicodin tablet rather than health supplements out of a pill drawer at the home.
Helmet hit brings fine
San Diego Chargers cornerback Drayton Florence was fined $15,000 by the NFL for his helmet-to-helmet hit that gave Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub a concussion. Houston General Manager Rick Smith said the fine wasn't enough. With a base salary of $896,000, Florence makes $52,706 a week.
Schaub won't start Sunday.
Bengals' backs practice
Running backs Rudi Johnson and Kenny Watson participated in a full practice for the Cincinnati Bengals. Johnson missed most of the past four games with a pulled hamstring. Watson recovered from a concussion. Coach Marvin Lewis won't say which one will start Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.
Around the league
The Denver Broncos lost two more players for the season: receiver Rod Smith's hip isn't recovering fast enough, and rookie defensive end Jarvis Moss broke his right shin in practice. Moss, the 17th overall pick in the 2007 draft, will have surgery within days and will be out three to four months.
The Oakland Raiders will start Josh McCown at quarterback Sunday. He replaces Daunte Culpepper after missing the past four games with a broken toe. . . . Recovered from back and groin injuries, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Steve McNair plans to play for the first time in nearly a month Monday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. . . . Carolina Panthers quarterback Vinny Testaverde missed practice again with an Achilles' tendon injury, increasing the chances David Carr will start Sunday. . . . Ronnie Brown and Renaldo Hill, both sidelined for the rest of the Miami Dolphins' season, had operations on their torn anterior cruciate ligaments.
