Word out is that New England Patriots' offensive lineman Nick Kaczur was caught with 202 pills of OxyContin when he was arrested in April for illegally possessing painkillers. Kaczur then was used in a sting operation against the man who sold him the drugs.Kaczur got the pills from Canada ... where he grew up ... and was pulled over near Utica, NY. According to the Boston Globe, the pills were marked CDN on one side to keep border drug smuggling. Even though Kaczur helped the Feds arrest the dealer, he's not out of the woods yet.
Next week, Kaczur is scheduled to be arraigned in Whitestown, N.Y., town court on a charge of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree, a misdemeanor. OxyContin, a powerful and potentially addictive prescription painkiller, is also sold as a street drug as its effects mirror those of heroin.
Because of all of this, he could face the wrath of NFL Commish Roger Goodell. There is an arrest and a drug charge. That doesn't even consider if the Patriots will release him.
If Kaczur is suspended by the NFL (or cut by the Patriots), he could play for the CFL's Toronto Argonauts. The Argos made him the 9th overall pick in the 2005 CFL draft and they still own his rights.

Funny CC, people who work in foul smelling places say that after a while you get used to it and don't even notice it. There must be a grain of truth in that.

This is just a commentary on the type of pain these guy's deal with on a daily basis. The pain does not go away, after retirement it gets worse. Even more alrming, brain injury should be of paramount concern, new research connected to the mouth guard worn by Patriot players, must be investigated further. Recent judiciary subcommittee investigation suggest just that, doing more in terms of protecting players.
