Another Patriot linked to alleged dealer
An accused drug dealer who allegedly sold hundreds of OxyContin pills to a New England Patriots lineman is old pals with another player and was a longtime political aide to an East Boston lawmaker, the Herald has learned. Daniel Ekasala, who faces charges of peddling the addictive prescription opiates to hulking Pats player Nick Kaczur, is also a childhood friend of former Patriots tight end Jermaine Wiggins. The two grew up together in East Boston but Ekasala's lawyer, Bernard Grossberg, said his client hasn't talked to the player in years.

The headline is misleading. Wiggins hasn't played for the Patriots since what, 2002? He went on to play for other teams after that. This is just another pile it on the Patriots story. Enough already....

The Pats are Catholics from Boston. Can't we excommunicate them from the league?
They are really tiresome. Remember, beware when the hero becomes a bore.

Yeah, where is the article on the murder/murder or murder/suicide in Texas? Has that guy already overstayed his 24 hour news cycle? Sad.

Why do Boston papers have such a vendetta against the Pats? As if drugs of all kinds are common throughout the NFL and every other professional sports league. What's driving this?

I dislike the Patriots for cheating and hope that they do poorly this year, but even I think this is about as much as a non-story as you can get. I knew a lot of people when I was a child and I don't know what 90% of them have done in their lives. This was a low blow but the journalist (for lack of a better word) got us talking about it so he thinks he did his job.
