Cardinals assistant booked for soliciting prostitution
March 9, 2007

PHOENIX (AP) -- Former NFL running back Richie Anderson, now an assistant coach with the Arizona Cardinals, was arrested during a Phoenix police anti-prostitution operation.

Anderson, 35, was arrested at about 9:30 p.m. Thursday for soliciting prostitution at about 9:30 p.m., Sgt. Andy Hill said. The department's vice unit was conducting an undercover sting operation in south Phoenix when Anderson allegedly solicited an officer posing as a prostitute.

PFT will have a field day with this one.

Shouldn't be a big deal

Anderson in fact has already set the record straight with a very reasonable explanation:

He thought the cop was a prostitute. Seems very plausible to me.

No sympathy for me, not after he agreed to sign with Pats, then went to Dallas.

He should have stayed on the Jets staff instead of taking off for the Cardinals. Probably wouldn't have gotten arrested solicting near the Meadowlands....

Once again an Arizona Cardinal fails to score.

Apparently, the prostitutes weren't who he thought they were...

Bet that Detroit Lions coach last year who was caught with no pants while driving around town is getting some laughs on his own now.

Maybe....but I would rather be busted for soliciation then driving into a burger pickup nakid....If I had to choose.

Ok.....time to come clean...I was more embarrased when I got caught nakid in a Burger King than when I got busted for solicitation.

Soliciting prostitution. Not a big deal.

Couldn't he have hopped aboard a puddle-jumper to Las Vegas? If he left after suppah, he could have been back by midnight.

RICHIE GETS BUSTED

Cardinals assistant Richie Anderson, considered a rising star in coaching circles, has been arrested and charged with solicitation of prostitution.

The arrest came as part of a sting operation in Phoenix. Anderson allegedly solicited an undercover officer.

We assume the officer was a female, but nothing would surprise us at this point.

Anderson, a former Jets assistant, was hired by the Cardinals in January. He spent thirteen seasons as a player with the Jets and the Cowboys.

The entry page to the team's web site declares: "2007 Arizona Cardinals Football. Smart. Tough. Disciplined." It might already be time for a revision.

Anderson has been fired.

He should pull a Costanza: "Is that wrong? Cause I got to plead ignorance on this one."
