Another son of Eagles' coach Reid faces criminal charges

Football Betting Lines

02/16/2007 - Harrisburg, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Pennsylvania attorney general Tom Corbett announced that Plymouth Township Police filed criminal charges against Garrett Reid surrounding an accident on January 30.

Corbett said an investigation found that Reid -- the son of Eagles head coach Andy Reid -- was under the influence of controlled substances, recklessly drove his vehicle, exceeded the speed limit, ran a red light, and collided with a vehicle operated by Louise Hartman.

Hartman was transported to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, where she was treated for a head laceration and cervical strain before being released.

Following the collision, Reid was found to be in possession of controlled substances and drug paraphernalia. The complaint charges Reid with: simple assault; recklessly endangering another person; four counts of possession of controlled substance (one count each as to heroin, amphetamine, Phentermine and Testosterone; driving under the Influence; two counts of drug paraphernalia; one count each as to heroin paraphernalia and steroid paraphernalia); and one count of driving under the influence of alcohol or controlled substance.

Reid was also charged with various summary traffic offenses including violating traffic control signals, maximum speed limits, driving vehicle at a safe speed and careless driving.

Reid's brother, Britt Reid, was earlier charged with several drug and weapon offenses in a separate incident on the same day. The younger Reid got into a confrontation with another motorist in an alleged road-rage incident.

A Remington shotgun, cocaine, marijuana, the prescription painkiller Oxycodone and other drug paraphernalia were recovered from the 21-year-old black SUV after the incident.

The Montgomery County District Attorney's Office referred both cased to the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office to avoid a potential conflict of interest.

Meanwhile, Andy Reid has taken a leave of absence from his duties as the Eagles' head coach/executive vice president of football operations.

Reid is taking the time off to attend to personal matters involving his family. The leave of absence is expected to last until approximately mid- March. At that point, the Eagles expect Reid will return to his regular duties.

MySportsbook.com: NFL draft - The NFC South


In part two of MySportsbook.com’s draft preview, we’ll take a look at a division that was extremely disappointing last season: the NFC South.  Many “experts” predicted the Panthers to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl, of course they could not even make the playoffs in an extremely weak NFC.  The Saints definitely made up for the disappointing seasons of their NFC South brethren by exploding out of no where en route to the NFC Championship game.  For the avid NFL gambler, it is imperative to pay attention to the NFL draft.  Although free agency gets a ton of publicity, the successful franchises build their teams around the draft.

1. New Orleans Saints
Who would have thought this time last year that the Saints would be the favorites to win the NFC South for the 2007 campaign?  New Orleans is loaded with firepower on the offensive side of the ball but with the exodus of Joe Horn they will most likely look to draft a WR on Day 1.  Despite having the NFL’s 3rd ranked pass defense last season, the Saints will most likely upgrade their CB’s with one of their first two picks. Other possibilities for the Saints will be TE and DT.  Because of where they will be selecting (27th), the Saints could go the “best available player” route which could net a LB.

Key additions: Eric Johnson TE, Troy Evans LB, David Patten WR
Key loses: Joe Horn WR,
Team needs: CB, WR, TE, LB, DT
Possible draftees: Aaron Ross CB Texas, Darrelle Revis CB Pitt, Ted Ginn Jr. WR OSU, Paul Posluszny LB PSU, Chris Houston CB Arkansas, Greg Olsen TE Miami

2. Carolina Panthers
Carolina was one of the biggest disappointments in the NFL last season.  With the signing of David Carr, expect the very first quarterback controversy to come out of Carolina if Jake Delhomme doesn’t rebound quickly from an average 2007 season. With veteran safety Mike Minter getting up there in age, they will look to draft a safety on Day 1 but probably not in the first round.  LB is another need with the loss of Chris Draft to go along with Dan Morgan’s concussion problems.  If TE Greg Olsen is still on the board, he might be too good to pass up despite their needs on the defensive side of the ball.

Key additions: David Carr QB
Key loses: Chris Draft LB
Team needs: LB, TE, S, OT
Possible draftees: Greg Olsen TE Miami, Patrick Willis LB Ole Miss, Paul Posluszny LB PSU, Levi Brown OT PSU

3. Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons were another NFC South team to have a disappointing 2007 season.  The Falcons have been plenty busy during the off season with plenty of players coming and going including a new head coach.  The Falcons were able to improve their draft position with the trade of coveted backup QB Matt Schaub.  High on the list of Day 1 needs will be a defensive end to replace Patrick Kerney and a hard hitting safety since Lawyer Milloy is nearing the end of his career.  With an additional 2nd round pick, the Falcons could attempt to trade up to acquire local product WR Calvin Johnson. 

Key additions: Joey Harrington QB, Toniu Fonoti OG, Joe Horn WR
Key loses: Justin Griffen RB, Patrick Kerney DE, Matt Lehr OG, Ashley Lelie WR, Matt Schaub QB
Team needs: DE, S, OT, WR, DT
Possible draftees: LaRon Landry S LSU, Amobi Okoye DT Louisville, Levi Brown OT PSU, Jamaal Anderson DE Arkansas, Alan Branch DT Michigan

4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Age really caught up to the Bucs last season.  The Bucs still have plenty of household names on defense in Ronde Barber, Simeon Rice and Derrick Brooks but the one thing those three have in common is unfortunately age.  It is imperative for the Bucs to get much younger, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Despite having bigger needs on the defensive side of the ball, WR Calvin Johnson is the most likely pick if he is still available when the Bucs pick at the four spot.  This would suit Bucs’ faithful just fine as Johnson is widely considered the top talent in the draft and it is a position of need for the Bucs.

Key additions: Jeff Garcia QB, Kevin Carter DE, Torrie Cox CB, Cato June LB
Key loses: Dewayne White DE, Sean Mahan OG
Team needs: WR, LB, DE, CB (Youth on defense!)
Possible draftees: Calvin Johnson WR Georgia Tech, Gains Adams DE Clemson, Jamaal Anderson DE Arkansas
