It's always a shame when people fall from grace. I remember Super Bowl XXII like it was yesterday.

Former Washington Redskins running back Timmy Smith, who broke the NFL record for most rushing yards in a Super Bowl in 1988, was arrested in Denver Thursday for allegedly distributing cocaine, according to the Drug Enforcement Agency (sic).

Smith, 41, now lives in Denver. He and his brother, Chris Smith, 35, of Lakewood, Colo., were both charged Friday with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute more than 500 grams of cocaine, U.S. attorney's spokesman Jeff Dorschner said Friday.

Authorities said the investigation has resulted in the seizure of 1.3 kilograms -- or about 2.8 pounds -- of cocaine and unspecified assets worth about $100,000. Search warrants were executed on houses in Denver and Lakewood, authorities said.
