Richie Anderson: One Prostitute Too Many

Caught, Hooker Handed! Richie Anderson is the new Eugene Robinson.

The former Atlanta defensive back should send the recently fired Arizona wide receivers coach a box of chocolates following his arrest in a police prostitution sting operation last week.

Anderson, a fullback in the NFL for 13 seasons, was hired by new Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt in January - and then let go when he was accused of soliciting an undercover Phoenix police officer posing as a prostitute Thursday nighy.

Our focus is now on finding a replacement and I am confident we will be able to do that relatively soon.”
