Reid’s Sons Put Asterisk Next To ‘04 NFC Title

Yesterday’s sentencing of Andy Reid’s sons on drug and other charges wasn’t just a loss for them. It was a loss for the 2004 Philadelphia Eagles. As the Daily News‘ Will Bunch notes:

The sons of an NFL coach using steroids — does that set off alarm bells for anyone else? Will authorities start asking what kind of contacts might Garrett and Britt Reid have made inside the Eagles clubhouse?

I’m sure Garrett, out on the streets of North Philly slinging rock, ran into Brian Dawkins and made the connections there. This is the only logical explanation for the Eagles getting over the hump in 2004 and finally heading to the Super Bowl after three straight Championship Game losses. They might as well put a big asterisk on the NFC Championship Trophy.

George Halas and John Heisman are rolling over in their graves. James Naismith is, too, for good measure. I can’t believe the Reid sons sold steroids to the entire Eagles team. Especially the punter. How could you, whatshisname?!

A friend IMs: “I also worry whether or not they taught Donovan how to smuggle pills up his ass. Perhaps that’s why he’s running so poorly.”

Why are steroids illegal, again?
