I actually have less sympathy for Garrett than I do for the average junkie. My God, what a waste. He was given every damn advantage of life and he just threw it away. How many kids would have loved to grow up in a family where the Dad is a famous coach making millions of dollars. Could have went to the best schools and had lots of career opportunities because of your family. You know how you fight Heroin addiction? Don’t start moron. I feel bad for the Reid family, but Garrett was just a loser.

I don’t get it. He didn’t die trying to save anyone from a burning building, he died from injecting excessive amounts of heroin into his veins. Where’s all the sympathy for all the other junkies that die everyday. I guess you need a famous father for that.

As a father who has buried a child, I pray dearly for the Reid family that they find comfort and peace. Also, I commend the class of all the NFL fans that have posted about Garrett.

Who are the low-lifes who click “thumbs down” on genuine expressions of sympathy?

Reality police I apologize for giving you a thumbs down, I fat fingered when I was trying to give you a thumbs up. I would hope that it wasn’t just me, but it seems like there are a lot of mean spirited people who are being very cruel to the Reid family. I love cheering against rival NFL teams, but there are limits. My thoughts and prayers go out to coach Reid and his family!

My heart breaks for Andy Reid and his family. This is awful, and something I know they hoped to never have to face. Very sad, I hope his family gets the respect and support they need in this very difficult time–a lifelong Cowboys fan

this puts everything in perspective. football is just a stupid game like any other sport if you think about it. no parent should ever burry their children. ever. that has to be the worst feeling in the world. football is just a sport. I’m an eagles fan and if this happened to someone from tgs cowboys I would feel just as bad. horrible. my prayers and thoughts go out to the Reid family and to the eagles and may Garrett rest in peace.

It’s so nice to read that Garret Reid and the whole Reid family is in everyone’s thoughts and prayers. It’s such a tough time for the family, friends, and organization. True NFL fans have emerged, and as an Eagles fan, I just wanted to say thank you. I am in no way affiliated with the Eagles, just a life long fan. It’s just so nice to read all the amazing posts on here. There is a lot of prayer around the nation for Andy Reid and his family this week. Garret is in a better place now. Good luck in your struggles Coach. I can’t wait to hear the ovation on that will be on Thursday at the Linc. God Bless

I can’t even begin to imagine the extreme grief that a parent must feel when having to bury a child.

My prayers go out to the Reid family as they deal with their loss.

I’m always baffled when people who post condolences have to add
” and I’m a Cowboys fan” or things like that. Wtf? Like you couldn’t pass condolences to a man who just lost his son because you don’t like his football team. Some people are fubar.
Even worse is when people post ” this really puts things into perspective”. Wait! It takes someone to die to put football into perspective? Wtf? I like the NFL as much as anybody but a get a grip folks. They are just games!

After burying my 53 year old brother 3 months ago, and seeing that pain in my mom and dad, GOD and JESUS is the ONLY thing that gives us comfort.

Same to the Reid family.

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. I pray that our heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost.

No words I could ever write would comfort a family on the loss of a son. My heart breaks for the Reid family and their loss. I pray for them.

I am a huge Eagles fan and this is just an awful thing for a family to go through as well as a team. I continue to be impressed by the level of class displayed by fans from competing teams in the NFC East. Classy fans.
