Feds: Bears’ Sam Hurd tried to buy huge amounts of cocaine, pot - Chicago Sun-Times (http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/bears/9459244-606/bears-sam-hurd-arrested-on-drug-chargesreport.html)
Rumor is lots of other NFL players are involved here
Here is a paragraph from that link:
"Hurd, a former star player with Northern Illinois University, allegedly told the agent he already distributes four kilograms of cocaine a week in the Chicago area, but wanted to up that to five to 10 kilos and 1,000 pounds of marijuana — per week."
That is 26 tons of marijuana per year he is allegedly distributing.
At 4 Kilos a week, that is just a tad over 450 lbs of cocaine a year he is allegedly distributing.
That is not a junior varsity operation...

Who knew a drug kingpin was playing in the NFL. :doh:. Honestly idc if any Redskins are involved, but if they are throw the book at them too. That's just dumb shit, being so f'n greedy that you're not content making assloads of money in the NFL.

So it looks like former Redskins legend Kellen Clemens will be starting at QB for the Rams this Sunday
Horsecollar Clemens for the win!

WTF. i just dont get it, why risk it? I hope no skins are involved.
You know, instead of pissing it away, he had the business acumen to at least invest something that would net him more than the initial investment. Only problem is that he didn't do a good job of covering his tracks. #evenbadpeoplehavebrains #hailcapitalisticenterprise #onlyhalfsarcasm

I wonder how many Cowboys might be involved given that Hurd used to play there.

The cocaine habit would explain romo's bizarre fondness for those retarded newsies hats.

Yeah, I read those prices he negotiated. Dude could have turned that around for serious profit. I guess that's why these guys get caught up in it- they make enough from the league to buy wholesale... in turn making 10 times the initial investment.
Unlike stocks, the drug trade isn't volatile (value-wise)... but also unlike stocks, you're dealing with those pesky FBI agents and turf wars.

Can he be something special next week? I'm playing him and Matt Ryan in fantasy now.
