COB Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 That article said Hurd was seeking 1000 pound of marijuana to sell. Per week. How did that dude have time to even practice football? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did that dude have time to even practice football?Probably explains why he was primarily a special teamer and had just 8 catches this year.

BengalszoneBilly Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 What about the allegation of providing these drugs for use of other players? Is there actual evidence with the names of these guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 What about the allegation of providing these drugs for use of other players? Is there actual evidence with the names of these guys?No names yet, but Hurd is saying he had a partner who handled the low-end guys, while he was the connection for the higher level customers. Sounds like this could get real ugly for the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsbengalsbucks Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Just speculating here, but do you think that Simpson turned on this guy to get out of his trouble earlier in the year? Seems weird that he has yet to be charged with anything and Hurd is arrested on the spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems weird that he has yet to be charged with anything and Hurd is arrested on the spot.I did hear that they've been onto Hurd since the lockout this past summer. This isn't a recent thing but that's not to say Simpson couldn't be involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Simpson had weed. Hurd has cocaine. No connection.Actually Hurd was allegedly looking for both; the proposed operation would have been distributing 5 to 10 kilos of blow and 1,000 pounds of weed a week in the Chicago area. Hurd would be paying around $700k per week for the stuff, so we're talking about $36 million a year. It's just ridiculous.As for the allegations of a double-digit list of NFL players/customers, Hurd's attorney says he has not seen any such list and doesn't think it exists.
