I know the thread about LT got locked so hopefully that doesn't happen here but PFT has a report today about the Kiel story and I thought it was worth a read:
DEA PURSUING OTHER CHARGERS
A league source tells us that the recent arrest of San Diego Chargers safety Terrence Kiel might not have been an isolated incident, and that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is still looking into whether other members of the team have been involved in sending prescription medications -- presumably obtained in Mexico -- to purchasers in other locations.
Kiel was sending codeine-rich cough syrup back to his home state of Texas, where the substance is an ingredient in the popular buzz-inducing concoction named "purple drank" or "lean." (As a fellow Simpsons aficionado pointed out to us, why don't they light the thing on fire and call it a "Flaming Moe"?)
Though we don't know who else is being investigated, other Chargers with Texas connections (either by hometown or college) include cornerback Quentin Jammer, receiver Keenan McCardell, running back LaDainian Tomlinson, and running back Derek Farmer. Former Charger Hanik Milligan, who was cut during the preseason and signed with the Cardinals, went to college in Houston.
We seriously doubt that Tomlinson, an elite NFL player who hardly needs the extra money, would be involved in a risky proposition like this. But after the events of the past few weeks there is nothing at all in the NFL that ever will surprise us again.

, it sounds like yet another source saying there's smoke. Maybe they're just doing due diligence and checking all of Kiels's acquaintences, including all Chargers, with ties to the same area. But it sure sounds like they're looking.It's a good thing that other thread got poop-canned because of all the people blasting it. Nothing ever comes from rumors like that.
