The idea that I used that term because I’m a ‘Patriots hater’ looking to discredit the team is patently ridiculous. If that was the case, I certainly wouldn’t have spent the last several years building this web site.

I happen to ‘know’ Midd from another web site and he’s not a Patriots hater either. He’s a fan like everyboy else, and his question is entirely legitimate in my mind.

So save the “you guys are just haters” bullshit for somewhere else. If any ‘haters’ decide to show up here simply to stir shit, I’m the guy that runs them out. I’m intent on making this site a place where Pats fans can interact without trolls ruining it. So you don’t have to worry about that.

It’s possible that good fans can simply be a little disgusted when an established three-year veteran is hooking up with a fan to illegally buy the very same drug that has commonly led to crime, even violent crime, in rural areas like mine. It’s possible that good fans can get a little disgusted to find one of the team’s players on the front page of the Globe as a federal informant. I don’t see that as just one of those things that happens in every NFL city. A few blunts in the pocket – yeah, okay. Regular street buys of a dangerously addictive drug? No.

Really, I hope you guys read the Favre article and hold off judgement of Kazur until more facts come in.

The Patriots are a great team and even on a great team, as part of a great organization, people are going to make some mistakes.

In the article I read, the dealer himself disputes the “100’s” claim, so the details are in refute. Can you separate what happened before his arrest, which is in refute, from what happened after when the DEA was using him in the sting. It was the DEA who arranged to have him meet in a dingy parking lot.

Brett Favre publically acknowledged an addiction to pain killers. If you don’t think it was horrible, please read the article: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/nfl/features/favre/flashbacks/bitter_pill/

Quick follow up question, though: What percentage of NFL players are getting treatment for their pain by buying pills from a fan in a shopping mall parking lot?

@Timbuck4, how would you know if he has a horrible addiction, or in that regard are you a Pop Warner medical expert? The guy was buying huge numbers of pills on a frequent basis. Either he was dealing himself or over-using, isn’t either one a huge problem.

For his long-term health I hope he was dealing because I have heard from experts, and yes I’ve talked to experts on this matter, Oxy addictions are extremely tough to recover from. As in 95% against, tough.

“PLANO, Texas – A convicted steroids dealer who recently met with NFL security officials and gave them names of players he said bought steroids from him has been found dead in his home.”
