Sam Hurd Arrested For Buying a Truckload of Drugs

The Chicago Bears receiver was allegedly setting up a drug-selling network

Sam Hurd, the Chicago Bears receiver known for...well, he wasn't really known for anything football related, was arrested for trying to buy 5-10 kilograms of cocaine and 1,000 pounds of marijuana each week. Now he's known as the unknown football player who tried to buy a crapload of drugs.

Hurd, who was apparently trying to set up a huge drug dealing network in Chicago (shouldn't you wait til your football career is over to try this?) was caught trying to buy the drugs off an undercover agent on Wednesday night.

You knew it was going to happen sooner or later. An NFL season couldn't go by without a little Brett Favre drama, could it?

Is Earl Bennett A WR You Should Start Every Week?

Will Jay Cutler to Earl Bennett be gold each week or just a flash in the pan?

Earl Bennett is back in the lineup for the Chicago Bears. The receiver saw his first action on Monday night since a Week 2 chest injury sidelined him for most of the first half of the season. Upon his return, Bennett caught all five of his targets for 95 yards and a score.

Now he goes up against the Detroit Lions. What should we expect from Bennett this week?

I would expect more of the same as we saw Monday night.
