I'll probably get thumbed-down to oblivion, but I don't see this as a terribly positive portrayal of Reid. It's nice that he's been able to find a little more balance in his life, but his children and grandchildren are not going to care about how many Super Bowls he won or didn't. He has an addictive personality and it was passed on to his children. Our culture prizes workaholics, but it really shouldn't. Mike Holmgren was right. When he reflects back upon his life, I hope he doesn't wish that he had more time to break down film, but more time to spend with his children.
