| Cowboys, the Law, & Drugs This was discussed in another thread but it was a bit off-topic. I was curious, so I did a little digging and here's my list of Cowboys with run-ins with the law and drug suspensions (feel free to add if I left anyone out LOL): Michael Irvin: need I say more, multiple incidents Nate Newton: "That 175 lbs. of weed isn't mine" Leon Lett: Multiple drug suspensions Shante Carver: Alcohol abuse suspension Clayton Holmes: Drug suspension Quincy Carter: Released due to drug related issues Bob Hayes: After retirement, distribution of cocaine Larry Bethea: Convicted of grand larceny for theft of $ 64K....from his own mother. Hollywood Henderson: While at Dallas Landry sent him to rehab. After retirement, crack, sexual assualt on teenage girls. Rafael Septien: Aggravated child molestation Dwayne Goodrich: Vehicular Manslaughter Lance Rentzel: 1970, exposing himself to a 10 yr. old girl. Pacman Jones: while his issues weren't done while a Cowboy, Jerry Jones didn't have to actively pursue him or give him a contract. Let's not forget the 1983 "South America's" team drug investigation and the 1996 Training Camp "Party House". I'll be real interested to see a response other than Dexter Manley's well documented issues. For the most part the Skins have kept a pretty clean house. **************** Here's a few jokes, in the same theme that I thought were funny: How do you get a Cowboy to stand up? Say "Will the defendant please rise." Four Cowboys are traveling down the road. Who is driving? The police officer! What does the operator say when a person calls 911 in Dallas? Did you get the jersey number by any chance?

| Re: Cowboys, the Law, & Drugs Most teams, especially during the 80's, had their share of substance abusers, most with a special fondness for doing blow. The Redskins, unfortunately, have been no exception. Here are some cokeheads, roid freaks and a homicidal creep: Pro-Bowl Safety: Tony Peters Tony Peters Indicted - Free Preview - The New York Times Starting Cornerback - Barry Willburn FALL FROM GRACE :: The Memphis Flyer :: Sports News :: Sports & Activities Super Bowl Hero - Timmy Smith Ex-NFL star Timmy Smith pleads guilty in drug case - Boston.com Sack Master - Coy Bacon Bacon was Bengals' sackmaster Tight End/H-Back - Frank Wycheck PRO FOOTBALL; Redskin Player Suspended for Steroid Use - New York Times DB - Raphael Cherry Honolulu Star-Bulletin Sports |

| Re: Cowboys, the Law, & Drugs This thread is treading on dangerous ground. As Warren85Ellard has noted, the Redskins weren't exactly choir boys back in the day (granted cocaine use was much more common back then, from what I understand)

| Re: Cowboys, the Law, & Drugs I didn't want to cause a major issue with this so if you want to shut it, please do.

| Re: Cowboys, the Law, & Drugs We can say what we want about the players Dallas has playing or played for them but the bottom line is we still have to beat them on the field no matter what they do off the field. Does it really make us look any better because our clean players have a hard time beating their bottom dwellers. |

The bottom line is every team has guys that have had run ins with the law. It's just that Dallas probably has more than anyone else. | |

| Re: Cowboys, the Law, & Drugs Sure, every team does have their idiots and criminals, but it's not a secret that Dallas continually signs and pays players with very bad criminal records. They seem to attract them. Dallas' list will always be longer than any other team's. Cincy has been trying to rival them, but has a long way to go to catch up. Washington on the other hand has had a very good track record with the types of players and people they sign. Maybe it has been influenced by Joe Gibbs and the importance he has placed on character, but still today, the team is full of people who I am proud to call Redskins. If the HOF ceremony didn't remind you of some of the great human beings who have worn burgundy and gold, you're blind.
