Andy Reid probably could decipher a restaurant menu written in hieroglyphics easier than he could an internet blog. But when both his present and future as head coach of the Eagles became a primary news topic last week, during which time questionable coaching decisions could be pointed to as factors in losses to Green Bay, Washington and the Giants, Reid seemingly was force-fed a much-needed refresher course in media relations. When an unsubstantiated blog entry from a Philadelphia publication somehow gained legs in the wake of the Eagles' abominable 16-3 loss to the Giants on Sept. 30, rumors that Reid would resign, possibly before the end of the 2007 season, began to fly. During a conversation with Fox Sports senior NFL writer Jay Glazer last week, Reid appeared to set the record straight. He then reiterated his intentions before yesterday's practice at the NovaCare Complex. "The only way I don't finish up coaching this year is if I die," Reid told Glazer. "Are you kidding me? I don't know where this story came from, (or) how it started, but it couldn't be any further from the truth. I am definitely not stepping away."
