Well since I'm banned from the other thread (c'mon mods, do I really seem like a troll?), I'll just say here that Reid is a boss. I'm so happy he's our HC. Yeah he's not perfect by a LONGGGGGGGGGGGG shot, but the list of coaches I'd trade him for is incredibly short. [Reply]

It’s all about post season success. aFC championships and Super Bowls are ALL that matter.
And you don't win SBs without QBs or a bunch of luck. He's never had either, but now he does, so the real judging starts now. Judging him negatively based on his other years here is beyond stupid. Not one coach in NFL history wins a SB w/ Alex Smiff. Period. [Reply]

When Reid pushed a new idea, “Holmgren’s pat answer, and [then Packers assistant] Jon Gruden’s pat answer,” reports Childress, “was, ‘Yeah, that looks like a good play—but you know what? I don’t know that play. When you get your own offense, you go ahead and feel free to put that in.’ ”
There's going to be excellent article tomorrow from Sam Farmer of the L.A Times.
He spent this past weekend with Andy Reid, Pat Mahomes and Pat's family. Sam Farmer was on the radio this morning sharing some things that Andy shared with him.
Apparently Andy Reid "beat up" his older brother's High School Varsity Qb when Andy was like 10 years old :-):-):-)
Also, Andy Reid's dad was a Hollywood set designer. Never knew that.
And John Wayne once denied little fat Andy some Meatballs. [Reply]

As Sam Farmer told the story, Andy was the water boy for his older brother's high school football team.
The team would make fun of Andy because he was so big. They'd taunt him and ask him why he wasn't playing ball on the team (Some of them not realizing he was still in middle school).
One day they're out on the field and his older brother hears shouting off in the distance from the varsity Qb, "GET YOUR BROTHER OFF ME!".
