Twitter: Ex-Cowboys WR Sam Hurd released from prison

[ghst187]

A decade in prison for trying to buy coke from an undercover agent.

Seems needlessly harsh

Hurd is a loser. A true loser of a human being. It was mass distribution including cocaine as he told the undercover agents he wanted to be the #1 distributor in Chicago. Working with a murderous drug cartel in Mexico.

Loser.

I get the coke part of it, heck here in CA you can get weed delivered to your door

yeah but it aint $450 a pound ! more like 1/2 ounce for that money

Jerry could have had him out in less than 2 years on parole if he wanted to.

A decade in prison for attempting to buy cocaine as someone with no previous criminal record seems excessive but I always had a soft spot for Hurd. I'm sure he'll turn his life around. I remember he was a popular player in the locker room when he was in Dallas.

He tried to buy five to 10 kilos of cocaine per week at $25,000 per kilo. But I too am surprised he got a 15 year sentence. He got lucky that they let him out early. There is no good time in federal prison. But I don't think he's totally free for the remaining 5 years. Just not in prison.

Dallas’ new #2 WR! Jerry’s logic: Prison saved 10 years of wear and tear on his body…so while is chronological age is 38, his football age is only 28…

Plus, he's one of our guys lol

Not only excessive, but criminally destructive to deprive a person of 10 years of life (1/7 of an average lifespan) for attempting to purchase a chemical substance to get high. That is a human rights violation as well as cruel and unusual punishment.

I say this as someone who has never done any coke or other hard stuff. I'm not even an alcohol drinker.

Hurd turns 38 eight weeks from tomorrow (April 24th); he has a long life ahead of him to make amends from his lapses in judgement, and being incarcerated as a result.
He should reach out to George Gervin and David Robinson --- who were far more accomplished and bigger stars in their professional sport - but went on to be longstanding and contributing pillars in the Alamo City.

They've released Sam Hurd to my hometown in San Antonio -- I'm hoping he's a positive addition to this town. Many futures are at stake.

The alphabet agencies don't like competition with their drug rackets...

My next door neighbor lives in Sam’s former home when he was playing for the Cowboys.

Loser.

Im sure Sam is very hurt by what you say and think!

Exactly my man! Let’s all discuss the Poppy Fields in Afghanistan, Oh maybe we won’t get into it here unfortunately.

 

[MikeT22]

...I think Hurd and Randle, will be calling Jerry for job soon.. ..

They can hide the coke in their underwear

 

[75boyz]

not Sam’s fault … his supplier ran the wrong drug route

Instant classic, lol

Loser.

Well if he doesn’t sell it how will the wealthy get their cocaine? From the government so they can tax it?

Right. The ones in the back didn’t hear you though.

 

[MWH1967]

That's strange. It says "Former NFL receiver" not "Former Cowboys receiver"

Hard to believe.

Yep, the author is clearly in the dark.

San Antonio is were I was raised (5th grade on through high school).
Hurd was born and grew up in SA - hence why he was directed to community confinement there upon his release.
He has the opportunity to reconnect with his roots, while speaking out to the youth in his community about avoiding the wrong choices\ paths in life -- despite achieving some fame and fortune.

Cannot believe there is a Sam Hurd thread in 2023

Hey McCarthy has about 85 assistants. I’m sure we can fit them in somewhere
