PHOENIX -- 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.

Ken Whisenhunt, the Cardinals new head coach, hired Anderson as wide receivers coach in January. He played 13 seasons in the NFL with the New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys. He was a 2000 Pro Bowl selection while with the Jets and holds the team record for receptions by a running back at 305.

He retired as a player after the 2005 season and spent 2006 as an assistant wide receivers and tight end coach with the Jets.

Cardinals officials said they planned to release a statement on Anderson's arrest.

You know, that place really is the black pit of the NFL. Anyone who goes there gets messed up.

I do remember purcells mentioning that Richie could be president if he wanted to......... so, hooking up with some hookers is a good start to his political career.

[Alexander]

Wow....this is unbelievable

Yes.

The fact anyone would pay for it is unbelieveable.

 

[burmafrd]

Certainly indicates poor judgement. Why anyone would go to a hooker...
Its not that hard to score without paying money for it.

 

[lyrclcipha12]

why do pro athletes have to buy hookers? as if they couldnt get laid without paying? all they have to do is walk in any night club anywhere and say im in the nfl, and the women will line up, i know...from experience...i swear

 

[mullet]

remember when hugh grant rounded third and hooked up with gangsta brown....... while E. Hurley was an option.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

I blew him in... That fumble against Carolina still sticks in my craw.

 

[Woods]

Yes.

The fact anyone would pay for it is unbelieveable.

:laugh2:

Anyone want to go to Amsterdam for the weekend?

 

[burmafrd]

I remember when Grant got caught- and they showed a picture of the hooker- she looked like 3 miles of rough road. ANd he was still with Hurley at the time. I just figured it was just another case of a holllywood moron.

 

[bbgun]

Yes.

The fact anyone would pay for it is unbelieveable.

That shemale must have been pretty hot.

 

[5Stars]

why do pro athletes have to buy hookers? as if they couldnt get laid without paying? all they have to do is walk in any night club anywhere and say im in the nfl, and the women will line up, i know...from experience...i swear

Maybe because he's really UGLY?

I think they do things like this because they can...and then they get in trouble because they are idiots...




Oh well, another one bites the dust...

 

[Spectre]

he can't be president with that melon head he has

Yea, he didn't wear a helmet... just the facemask.
