Boston Globe Links Kaczur to Investigation

One of the strangest seasons in recent memory for the Patriots just got a little bit stranger.  Actually, the offseason got a lot stranger for the Patriots, who must now contend with the Boston Globe’s assertion that New England offensive lineman Nick Kaczur helped the DEA bust a drug dealer recently.  The story from the Globe cites a few sources (all of them somehow related to the defendant in the court case in question) who claim that Kaczur wore a wire and helped the DEA bust Daniel Ekasala, alleged drug dealer supplying Kaczur with Oxycodone.

While on the surface this might seem like a really bad story for the Patriots, I don’t think it is at all.  Even if all of this did actually happen, all that means is that Kaczur helped the proper law enforcement officials nab a drug dealer.  I don’t see how that’s a bad thing.  I hope that Kaczur has dealt with his addiction, as Oxycodone is a very dangerous drug.  That is, of course, if this story is true at all.  It remains to be seen whether or not all of this story, some of this story, or none of this story turns out to have any merit whatsoever.  This is the Boston Globe, and their recent history with sports scandals is not great.
