I swear NFL players just never learn! According to this report form the Chicago Sun-Times, Bears wide receiver Sam Hurd is facing federal drug charges for attempting to purchase roughly 10 kilos of cocaine and 1,000 pounds of marijuana PER WEEK from an undercover officer at a local restaurant, with the intent to distribute.
What?!?! Now I know Hurd has not been a star during his six-year NFL career, but last I checked the league minimum salary for a player with Hurd’s service time is $685,000 a year. Perhaps he could make more progress towards making it to a higher tax bracket on the football field if he wasn’t so busy trying to be the next Tony Montana.
