Procus Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Terrible news. Praying to Gd that Big Red is ok. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/09/26/andy-reid-leaves-stadium-in-an-ambulance-after-falling-ill/?unapproved=77466 Report: Andy Reid leaves stadium in an ambulance after falling ill Posted by Charean Williams on September 26, 2021, 5:17 PM EDT Andy Reid had a chance for his 100th career victory with the Chiefs, including the postseason. He instead ended the day with his 45th loss since arriving in Kansas City in 2013. Even worse, Reid fell ill after the game. The Chiefs announced that Reid is sick and unavailable to answer questions from reporters. He left the stadium in an ambulance, James Palmer of NFL Media reports. Reid did speak to the team postgame, Blair Kerkhoff of the Kansas City Star reports. The Chiefs had special teams coach Dave Toub take questions from reporters. Reid, 63, was on the sideline for the entire game. "He just wasn’t feeling well after the game,” Toub said via Kerkhoff. "He did talk to the team, and it was a good talk. Pretty much, ‘You have to quit the turnovers.’” The Chiefs had four turnovers in the loss, with Patrick Mahomes throwing two interceptions and Tyreek Hill and Clyde Edwards-Helaire each losing a fumble. The defending AFC champions are 1-2 and in last place in the AFC West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traveler Vic Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Weird. He left via ambulance, but his assistant said that it is nothing serious, and he should be back soon. If it is not serious, then why leave in an Ambulance? Could someone just drove him to the hospital? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could someone just drove him to the hospital? Do NFL teams keep an ambulance at or very near the stadium during games? If so, and the game was over the ambulance may have been ready to return to its home base anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could someone just drove him to the hospital? It could have potentially been a heart attack or something serious like that, so it's the best precaution to let medically trained people transport him. That way, they at least have the training to look for problems as well as the things needed if a larger emergency presents itself during transportation.

Road to Victory Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I hope he’s ok but let’s call a spade a spade, Andy is grossly overweight. He better change his lifestyle or he’ll never make to 70 years old. You just don’t see many old, obese people out there. It’s just a fact of life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortimer Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Meanwhile, on the way to the hospital... "Hey guys, (clears throat) there's a Taco Bell coming up on the right. Can we hit the drive through for a few gorditas?" With his age, lifelong weight problem and high-pressure job, it's a small miracle he's alive right now.

toolg Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 In case anyone is taking bets, I'd say he had a bout of diarrhea and dehydration. Maybe there was something bad in the pregame spread. Quick trip to the hospital and some IV fluids, he's good as new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
