Flagrant Foul: Patriot Busted, Starts Singing Like a Canary

patriotslogo.jpg

New England Patriot offensive lineman Nicholas Kaczur was busted for buying oxycontin in April. On the spectrum of sports shenanigans, that's fairly minor. But what makes this story especially impressive is that Kaczur turned in his suppliers to the cops, and the news of the arrest just got out today.

The arrest happened in April, but Kaczur became involved with the DEA and was wired while buying Oxy in various locations.

The dealer has been indicted after Kaczur's efforts. The dealer's lawyer slung a shot at Kaczur for being two-faced toward his alleged Oxy source: "Professional athletes in this country are treated like royalty, and royalty sometimes abuses the people they come in contact with, and I think that's what happened to Ekasala." Guess that's one way to earn sympathy from potential jurors.

However, when approached by someone at the Globe, Kaczur said, "I don't know what you're talking about, bro." He then added, "Don't taze me." (This writer obviously cannot resist bad jokes.--Ed.)

Some Patriots have had a small drug habit. Kevin Faulk was busted for pot, but he didn't get embroiled with the DEA. And don't get us started on the whole Rodney Harrison and HGH business.

As for Kaczur, who isn't exactly the most public Patriot, Deadspin once wrote of him, "Kaczur will attempt to be the first NFL starter to win a Super Bowl ring after overcoming the grim yet treatable birth defect of being Canadian."

All charges alleged until proven under law.

when they say they're lookin' around for the O.C. they ain't talking about the TV...

 

Would YOU want to be standing next to him on an open practice field? (Think telescopic sight...) If he starts using a remote car starter in the SUMMER, you'll know this has come back to bite him...

 

Don't forget Willie Andrews.

There's a Belichick joke here somewhere.
