Update: ESPN Bored, Decides to Re-Run Kaczur Story - New England Patriots Forums

Wildo7 · 07-19-2008, 11:50 AM

I guess it's a slow news day in the sports world so why not re-run an old story and kick the Pats in the balls again? Just like killing two birds with one stone!

When New England Patriots offensive lineman Nick Kaczur was arrested in upstate New York in April, he had 202 OxyContin pills labeled as being made in Canada, according to police reports, The Boston Globe reported.

Kaczur was arrested in New York on April 27 after police said a small amount of OxyContin was found in his truck following a traffic stop. Kaczur then helped federal authorities arrest the man who was allegedly supplying him with the drug, according to the alleged dealer's attorney.

Next week, Kaczur is scheduled to be arraigned in Whitestown, N.Y., town court on a charge of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree, a misdemeanor.

According to police reports, Kaczur, who was returning from his hometown of Brantford, Ontario, had the pills in his pocket when he was pulled over on April 27 on the New York State Thruway in Whitestown, just west of Utica.

That's what makes it news, plus TC starts next week. We don't ****** when it's some other team's guy. Let's not ****** when it's one of ours. At least they didn't mention spygate.

Actually the fact that the pills were from Canada is new information that was reported recently.

Right just like all of the Marvin Harrison articles

So an article when he was arrested, one now, one when he's arraigned, one when TC starts, one when the next guy gets busted for drugs, one when spygate is rehashed and they need to add to the "problems" the Pats have had, one when the regular season starts, one when he pleads, one when he's sentenced, and one just for fun at some random point in the season.

Hey, they could get 10 articles out if this thing when it's all said and done!

espn. anyone remembeer when that show was actually good back in 2001? now, it has turned into E! They focus on drama, hollywood and athletes, anyone remember the stupid WHOS NOW? thing they did last summer.

Funny; CNNSI and CBS Sportsline have NOTHING about this. It's like ESPN goes out of their way to make the Pats look bad or something.

I really wish Chris Berman and Keyshawn would go to another station.

In fairness, I just read that story in the Globe, so they are running a current story.

I don't mind the article, the thing that gets me is the stupid "Conversation" thing at the bottom.

At first it's annoying, I agree. Just remember that those dumb "CHEETRZ!!" and * comments are all any of them have. They have to tarnish the Pats accomplishments with whatever they can get thier hands on, logic be damned.
