Chester was high on coke running in the infamous touchdown. Couple excerpts from his book on JSO:

I wonder how many other guys are on stuff when they played back then, and even today. 5 percent? 10 percent? 50 percent? What would we think if ALL the users told all? Hmmm...
You can always find a drug you like -- if not this one, then that one -- which is why you should never start on them in the first place.

He scraped bottom and put his life back together a piece at a time. Doesn't sound so dumb to me.
If the kicker for the Green Bay Packers could get cocaine that easily in 1980, imagine how it must have already infiltrated the league by that point.

I would just say that there are probably quite a few folks here from the Fox Valley who were young adults in the early 80s and can readily attest to how available cocaine was at the time.
iran/contra cocaine... those were the days. 
Maybe Chester and Lawrence Taylor were buddies?
And to think we had our foreign exchange student kicking FGs for us in HS when CM had just started his GB career. He was doing well too. I told him to go to GB, but he went back to Uganda. He likely would have been a better, longer lasting option. A 60 yarder was no problem for him in practice. But coach only let him do it from 38 yards out in a real game. FG or Ext Pt, he did not miss the whole season.
I love it when you bring up the famous Ugandian kicker. What is he up to now?
You must be talking about good ol Mr Wilson O'Giri BDHS class of '72. I heard he was killed in the Idi Amin wars back in Uganda. Wonder if it is true. He probably would have been better than some of the kickers that GB had in the 70s.
The Bears will need to put another asterisk in their record book. Beat by a guy doped up on coke.

Shoving cocaine up your nose is a choice. I've no sympathy.
Once a dum-dum, not always a dum-dum.

I was a young adult in the early 80's.
What the Hell happened?

Yeah, I wasn't happy about black quarterbacks either.
You would be high too if you played during the 70's and 80's.
Donald Igwebuike Tampa kicker (spelling?)
I remember Iggy . He was the Nigerian kicker with the heroin smuggling (allegedly) problems.

So what's your excuse?
Brak went to East?
Is it too early to revoke my diploma?
I was only familiar with those that loitered out by the "smoking doors" and passed around the hooka pipe (allegedly). Only the social elite were into the nose candy, driving around in their Saab 900 turbos and listening to Depeche Mode.

I don't know what that means.
Guessing...still a bit steamed over that "packer nation" comment you made.
Understandable. It was rather careless and reckless.
