Former Chicago Bear, Sam Hurd, has to be the dumbest Baller of them all. What do you do when you’re out on bond for drug trafficking? Easy! Buy more drugs! Not just a dime bag here and a nickel bag there. Nooooo, you try to score 5 Kilos of cocain and 200 lbs of marijuana! Clearly the checks have stopped coming in!
According to the Chicago Tribune
In December, Hurd’s NFL career — one that had earned him a multimillion dollar contract and moved him from San Antonio’s toughest neighborhood to comfortable suburban living — came crashing down when federal authorities arrested him on charges of trying to form a massive drug ring in Chicago.
The Bears cut ties, police impounded his Cadillac Escalade and Hurd sold his home in Texas.
More than seven months after that arrest — and eight days after speaking with the Tribune — Hurd, 27, was in handcuffs again. This time it was in San Antonio, for allegedly using drugs. While out on bail, he tested positive for marijuana in two urine tests. Records also show Hurd allegedly bought 30 pounds of marijuana while out on bail and tried a few weeks later to buy an additional 200 pounds, plus 5 kilograms of cocaine.
“Shock, surprise,” said Joaquin Arch, who helped organize Hurd’s youth football camps and trained with him at the YMCA recently. “It was definitely a blow. You get used to having him around.”
So not only was Hurd in hot water for drug trafficking, he tried to do the same thing again! I’m going to let him slide for being an idiot enough to still smoke weed while awaiting trial. Obviously that was the least of his problems. It’s clear that if there was a “Dumb Baller Lifetime Achievement” award that Sam Hurd would win it hands down.
