Chicago Bears Waive Sam Hurd

“This is what the ending of Scarface should feel like” – Jay Z

Sam Hurd had to be playing Illest Muthaf***a Alive in his head as he walked out of a Chicago Morton’s. According to charges, Hurd dined on $300 worth of fillet Mignon with an undercover officer after agreeing to pay $25,000 for 5 to 10 kilos of cocaine and a half ton of marijuana. He said that he could pay for a kilo of cocaine after “he gets out of practice.” and walked outside yo be arrested by Customs agents.

It gets better, there is alleged to be a list of NFL players that Hurd was doing business with. But a rep for the U.S. Attorney in Dallas has said she can’t “confirm or deny” that a list exists but points out that there’s nothing reflecting that in the complaint.

Meanwhile, Hurd has been waived by the Bears. Hurd had just signed a three- year deal with the Bears for $5.15 million, including a $1.35 million signing bonus. His base pay this season of $685,000.

The new “Larry Hoover” told the agent that his partner usually handled things but that he handled the “higher end deals.” I don’t think that worked out so well for him.

If there’s a movie version of this-and that HAS to happen- I think Antwon Tanner should play Sam Hurd. Some will know him form One Tree Hill, I prefer to think of his roles in the hood classics, Sunset Park, The Wood and Coach Carter.
