4 Football Players Among 17 Students Charged in TCU Drug Sting

February 15, 2012, 1:57 pm

A six-month drug investigation at Texas Christian University resulted in the arrests early Wednesday of 17 students, including four football players, the Star-Telegram reported. “All of those arrested are drug dealers,” the university’s police chief, Steven McGee, said at a news conference. Marijuana, cocaine, LSD, ecstasy, and prescription drugs were among the substances being sold, he said. The Star-Telegram noted that Sports Illustrated had singled out TCU last year as the only top 25 team in 2010 on which no players had criminal records. The university’s chancellor, Victor J. Boschini Jr., said in a written statement that anyone found guilty would face immediate expulsion. The Fort Worth and the TCU police jointly carried out the investigation, which they said was continuing and could result in further arrests.

Cohen’s a lively vulgarian for those who like that sort of thing.

But it’s incorrect to say Lord Monckton (“Moncton” is in New Brunswick) is a “climate change ‘denialist’” (I guess that’s supposed to mean “denier”), just a policy expert who’s a catastrophic climate change skeptic.

Thanks, mav. Typo fixed.

“just a policy expert” – to laugh. This is why I don’t get into it with you. Monckton is simply a buffoon. As Cohen makes clear.

I did mean denialist. As usual, you have a forest/tree problem, mav.

Cohen is not at all vulgar in this video. Which is why I like it. Unless you feel that Monckton is vulgar?

Gee, Mr Gleason, Lord Monckton is not listed as “buffoon,” but “Chief Policy Advisor” to “The Science and Public Policy Institute” in the roll of featured speakers at the Third International Climate Conference this year that includes a number of scientists (including PhD climatologists like Lindzen, Michaels, Spencer, Singer et al) and others.

Sorry I don’t share your confidence in Cohen’s judgment as to who is a policy expert who might be qualified to speak on the economic consequences of climate change policies, but then it seems the organizers of the International Conference on Climate Change don’t either.

A list of conference speakers (or “buffoons,” as perhaps you’d call them) may be found here:

Who says real scientists can’t have street cred? Check this out, for a good chuckle:

Ah, mav…

I’m no sure if I understand the preceding discussion but this video is not Cohen as Monckton. Footage of Cohen was used to set the scene. However, it is Monckton as Monckton. It is an actual interview between an Australian comedian, Reucasell and Monckton. It was screened 3 days ago on Australian public TV.

Perhaps that is the point..

“But now someone’s gone a step further by dragging Monckton himself into the joke – albeit without Ukip’s head of research seemingly realising that he is the object of mockery.”

Huh? Generalize much?

Isn’t the police chief supposed to say “…alleged drug dealers”? My worry with such investigations is that drug users can become drug dealers when undercover investigators cajole them into becoming middle-men in drug purchases.

My problem is only four football player pictures transmitted over the MetroPlex TV stations. What happened to the other 13 pictures?
Is that discriminatory?

Maybe they had pictures on file of the football players? Good question.

Wow, the first comment posted is a snide racist remark that has nothing to do with the story. I am amazed how some can find a racial angle to everything.
