Sam Hurd

SSSSSSShhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

As far as I have read it doesn't sound like any other players are in danger of being arrested, it doesn't appear Hurd has anyone "bigger" to roll over on. Drug dealers don't roll on their customers, customers roll on their dealers - like the baseball drug trials of the '80s.
Might be a good idea for any player involved with Hurd to get out in front of this - if not publicly than at least let the league know. Might save a few games of suspension, even though they don't face legal charges.

Hurd's gonna love catching balls in prison.

 

Yes. With his chin.

 

I always thought one of the most ridiculous parts of that show wasn't that the star running back was in a crackhouse 30 minutes before a game.
It was that he could leave the crackhouse, fight his way through traffic without an escort, and STILL make it to the game before kickoff. I mean, C'mon!

 

Who was the Cowboys player who was busted for possessing a massive amount of marijuana about 10 years or so ago? Was Hurd's alleged possession worse?

 

Nate Newton

 

Must admit, I follow the NFL fairly closely and I've never heard of Sam Hurd.

It's funny when stories like this hit involving fringe players and everyone starts talking about him like he is a household name.

Seeing his name does have me thinking me of the strange
Donavan song from the 60's "Hurdy Gurdy Man".

 

This is where the NFL's machinery is going to show its stuff, from the P.R. machine to the lengthy list of former FBI agents who now run "team security." They are as good as anyone at scrubbing. If this were the NBA it would mushroom into a crisis that threatened the entire league, but the NFL is going to get the whole operation lined up on this one, if they haven't already.

 

this will separate the journalists from the stenographers. ESPN will cover the press releases, only. Are there enough real Sports Journalists left to cover the story and provide depth? Yahoo.

 

The NYT ought to send someone like Karen Crouse to Chicago to investigate the story. She did some amazing
work on Tank Johnson and his problems.

 

I only heard of him once he got to the Bears and started doing some things on special teams. There was a play this year where he ran down somebody to block on a Hester touchdown, I think, and it looked like he was faster than Devin Hester. Fans flipped out for a couple days about why he wasn't getting some PT at wide receiver. But I think the scouting report on him is that he has terrible hands.

I am really happy that the prison rape jokes have started on this thread. I always find them very original and hilarious.

 

He was a reasonably well-known and liked player with Dallas, where he had a reputation as a special teams stud and made some plays as a third or fourth wideout. He and Miles Austin were considered pretty much equals at one point -- there was debate about which of them should fill the No. 3 receiver role.

In fact, Hurd was targeted twice in the end zone in the final seconds against Denver in 2009 for what would have been the tying TD but both passes were incomplete. The next week, Austin got the start over Hurd when Roy Williams was injured and went for something like 250 yards and scored the winning TD on a long play in overtime.

And the rest is history.
