Sam "Tony Montana" Hurd Gets Arrested

[Johnny Rockets]

You can take Sam Hurd from the Dallas Cowboys but you can't take the Dallas Cowboy out of Sam Hurd.

If there is a God, Michael Irvin will somehow be involved.

Do all athletes tend to have high crime rates relative to the societies around them or is this just an NFL/NBA/American thing? I know America is notable for high crime rates compared to other first world countries. Not sure how the crime rates are among the NHL, I have heard of a few incidences. Also not sure how crime rates are among the EPL and La Liga soccer teams.

Would make for an interesting study. Just seems like every week we have a new cocaine dealer or wife beater in the sports news.

Report: Hurd’s drug clients included many NFL players

The drug arrest of Bears receiver Sam Hurd is a story that could become a serious public relations problem for the NFL.

We told you how Hurd is accused of trying to buy more than $575,000 worth of cocaine and marijuana every week from an undercover agent. 670 The Score in Chicago has more troubling news for the league.

A law enforcement source told Laurence Holmes of 670 that Hurd was one of the top drug dealers in Chicago. Police obtained a list of NFL players who were supplied drugs Hurd and the number is “in the double digits.”

Considering Hurd already allegedly dealing drugs while in Dallas, this could create problems in at least two NFL cities. And it could create the impression, at a minimum, that the NFL’s drug testing is pretty easy to get around.

Wow, lol.

If he is such a big shot drug dealer shouldn't he have other people doing his bitch work (pickup & delivery)? Also that list won't matter if the players test clean. Cocaine is only in your system for 72 hrs.

Strikingly, the arrest rate for the general population (about one per 21 people) is higher than the NFL's, which has averaged about one incident per 45 players per year since 2000, according to the review. The NFL has been making note of this fact for years, especially after 1998, when authors Jeff Benedict and Don Yaeger came out with a book entitled, “Pros and Cons, The Criminals Who Play in the NFL.”

It'll matter if they have endorsements.

He deserves being nailed for being stupid. That big a deal u better know the guy u are buying from for a long time. I wonder how much money the cops are allowed to show or carry for big sting ops like that.

[Mr. Scot]

Betcha there are some very nervous people waiting for that list to come out (and you know it will).

Here's hoping there are no Panthers.

... Playing like crap for 3 1/2 quarters. Kneeling down, bowing his head, then popping up & playing awesome to win the game. Plus he's all chipper & talkative! :eek:

I think we've found The Golden Calf of Bristol's secret!

I wonder if anyone will take this seriously?

[Boltergeist]

I wonder if Nate Newton's involved in this one too

Cowboys defensive tackle Jay Ratliff had to be separated from ESPNDallas.com writer Calvin Watkins on Thursday when Ratliff didn’t appreciate the line of questioning.

Watkins is a well respected writer that has worked at the two major papers in town. He reportedly asked Ratliff about former teammate Sam Hurd’s arrest for drug trafficking and the conversation “quickly went South” according to Mac Engel of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Think he may be on that list?

Hurd faces 40 years in jail, hires Snoop Dogg’s lawyer

Bears wide receiver Sam Hurd was allegedly a bigtime drug dealer in Chicago. And he’s hired a bigtime lawyer to defend him against federal drug trafficking charges.

Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports that Hurd has hired L.A.-based attorney David Kenner to represent him. Kenner famously (and successfully) defended Snoop Dogg (back when he was Snoop Doggy Dogg) against a murder charge.

Hurd, who appeared in court Thursday, faces up to 40 years in jail. He will remain in custody at least one more night.

[Mr. Scot]

First thought when I saw that story was "yeah, bet his name is on the list".

[charlottenian]

Now that's a good possession receiver.... Other than 1/2 of the Cincinnati Bengals, I can't wait to find out who his buyers were
