"Playing the role of the snitch in this saga is not Al Pacino but New England Patriots’ right tackle Nick Kaczur. An important starter in the Patriots 2006 AFC championship run, Kaczur was arrested in April for illegal possession of the prescription painkiller OxyContin. In June, the Boston Globe reported that Kaczur cooperated with federal authorities in an undercover sting operation against alleged drug dealer Daniel Eskala. According to an anonymous federal agent, Kaczur wore a wire during three drug transactions. Kaczur has denied involvement with any sting operation, but Eskala is currently on trial for three counts of possession and intent to distribute OxyContin.
In another June incident, convicted steroids dealer David Jacobs and his girlfriend were found dead from bullet wounds in their Texas home. Just weeks before his death, Jacobs had supplied NFL investigators with a list of NFL players who had bought steroids from him, along with e-mails, checks, and other evidence that supported his claims. Jacobs explained his cooperation with investigators by saying he had made it his personal mission to “clean up the sport.” Like in any good Sopranos episode, our first reaction is someone “took care him.” But police have yet to find any evidence of a hit and now believe it was a murder-suicide."
