KKHI Special: Britt Reid Tells All

Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

A listener turned me on to a little known podcast for men dealing with addiction. It's as much therapy for the guest and listeners as it is anything else and the latest conversation is with former Chiefs coach Britt Reid who is out of prison and building a new life. I was skeptical at first, thinking Britt would not come clean and try to create an appearance that all is well.

Instead, he tells all on "That Sober Guy" podcast. You're about to hear him say things about his life of guns, drugs, addiction and prison. He chronicles living at his dad's house, working for his dad as a coach and using and abusing for decades. Contrary to news reports, Andy Reid knew everything and warned his sons they are in a family filled with addicts. This is gut wrenching and it explains a lot about why the Chiefs have been so secretive. Not anymore. Britt smoked pot and got drunk at Arrowhead and nearly killed a little girl. He thought his worst days were behind him as it was only marijuana and booze and not heroine and cocaine and opioids. This is the story of a family dealing with addiction and tragedy all while living a high profile life at the top of the NFL. There is no other football story like this and Britt shares it all.

Then we lighten things up with some football fun for Mizzou fans as Jon Gruden is on the band wagon and the great Stephen Miller says Memphis is about to be liberated.
