Bulldogs lineman charged with selling grass

Mississippi State OT Richard Burch was officially charged with selling more than one ounce marijuana on Tuesday. Police had raided his home this week & made several arrests for selling drugs.

Burch posted $5,000 bond and was released from prison Monday night. He faces a maximum penalty of a $1 million fine and/or 30 years in prison.

Burch started 11 games this year and 25 of 30 games in the past three season for the Bulldogs. Mississippi State coach Sylvester Croom has suspended Burch from the team for "violating team and university policies." Coach Croom has been forgiving when players fall out of line - provided they convince him that they will make amends.

   This is the new American way, Drug dealing. Fast money and girls. Rap music and movies endorse drug dealing. This is really sad, but the trend will continue

   Its all about your upbringing and the friends you choose. Its nothing new. Rap music just glorifies it.
