An alleged drug dealer(with an awesome name BTW) has named ex Eagle Correll Buckhalter as one of his clients.
A Delaware County prosecutor this morning named former Eagles running back Correll Buckhalter among the reported clients of an alleged drug dealer during opening arguments of a trial.
Deputy District Attorney Katayoun M. Copeland, addressing the jury, said that Styles N. Beckles, 36, of Clifton Heights, had told police that he sold drugs to pro athletes, including Buckhalter and Keita Crespina, a former Temple University football player.
Given Buck's history with the weed, it's not a stretch to believe Mr. Beckles here. Buckhalter was suspended in 2001 after being arrested on South Street for possession of marijuana.

How are pro athletes so stupid?
Is it that hard not to be an idiot for the maybe 8 years you’re in the league if you’re lucky?
well shit.

So do you guys think Gestapo Godell will see this as a repeat type of offense? He’s already been suspended once in the past for it… We all know how much he likes handing out suspensions of the lengthy variety.

Yikes...
…not sure he warrants that nickname.
Is this like points on a license thing? As in, if you’re clean for a number of years you get the points erased. Correll’s last offense was, what, in 2000? So it’s been a while. He’ll get in trouble, no doubt, but I think the punishment could be less severe than someone who got in trouble with drugs twice in two years or some shorter period of time than Buck.
still, i think Rog has gone down the path of strict dicipline and can’t really go back… i don’t see a pacman type of action coming, but if anything comes of this, it wouldn’t surprise me to see Buck missing 4-6 games.

Goodell would deserve that nickname if he took the word of an alleged drug dealer, without a shred of other evidence, to punish a player. Something tells me the NFLPA would have it’s large scary man panties in a bunch if that happened.
lol
I think if anything comes of it he will get suspended. You can’t suspend a guy on pure speculation (even though everyone believes it).
I met Bucky out at a bar one night, and I don’t find this hard to believe at all. Could this be why Buck didn’t see the ball much last year?

you mean he literally “couldn’t see the ball” during the game… lol

This is fun
Donovan: “Hey Buck, there’s a bag of doritos in the endzone with your name on it.”
(2 plays later…)
TOUCHDOWN BUCKHALTER!
(They should have used this strategy more often)
I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.
lol
Andy: Oooh yea Pancakes.
Donovan: What’s the play? … fuck looks like your up Marty what do ya got.
"I need to do a better job of putting players in the right position to perennially come up short of expectations"
i dunno...
when they’re gonna realize that smoking weed isn’t as bad as some other things that are legal right now. it’s not healthy, but it’s not as harmful to society as drinking. plus this guy who named buck… is being named by someone named Styles (agreed on the great name) in delaware grounds to be suspended?
I’ll tell you what… This Styles character must be some kind of Weed Kingpin… and, of course i draw this conclusion after carefully inspecting the original article for his choice of conveyance

LOL
Is the alleged drug dealer the son of an NFL Head Coach by the last name of Reid? Just curious…..
but seroiusly i hope this isnt true for buck….
If the worst thing this guy has done...
Is puff a little herb, who the F hasn’t.
He is a stand up guy, a great athlete with NEVER a bad word about his teammates and performed well when asked.
I hope he has a long carreer ahead of him and he rocks the AFC.
