Ill say it again, such a waste.

I thought this might be about OJ Simpson at first. No offense to Aaron Hernandez, but I don't think he's earned the moniker "The criminal."

I should have said "the murderer" my bad

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Were there any known "red flags" in his past before he was drafted?

Yes, lots of them. That is why he went in the 3rd or 4th rd. He is 1st rd talent easy.

Interesting article by Albert Breer, published Feb. 19, 2014


It's been nearly four years since I wrote, for the Boston Globe, that a number of positive drug tests led to Aaron Hernandez's precipitous fall in the 2010 NFL Draft.

This isn't revisionist history. Personnel directors and execs said then, in the days immediately after that draft, that the Florida tight end likely would've been a low first- or high second-round pick otherwise.

But there were whispers at the time, too, that Hernandez was caught up in more serious things. The word "gang" was bandied about in conversation. Since team officials I talked to at the time said it never really went past the rumor stage, we decided, in print, to stay away from it. What was obvious was this was a guy, with drugs and otherwise, who had a way of getting himself into and then out of trouble.

He's not THE criminal he's YOUR criminal, you damn patsy fans with your thuggish ruggish bones

NOTHING BUT RED FLAGS - even before getting accepted to college - Florida did everything they could to keep him out of "trouble" or I should say to keep the trouble from making it to the press

Its quite a shame - home being from Bristol CT and all - I lived there for a few years - its not a bad town at all - but David Drive is for sure the ghetto of the town - i just dont see it as being so "thuggish" - I never felt unsafe there but that was also alomost 20 years ago too

[PatriotsGuy]

Yes BB knew he was a murderer and drafted him anyway! BB is the devil!!!

[WTE]

Hernandez shot these two people in July 2012. He signed his 5 yr. extension w/ NE a month later in Aug 2012. Therefore, he did not sign the contract in good faith and NE should prevail in withholding the bonus money for which the NFLPA is fighting.

Just another example of the cesspool that Boston sports has become.

Since when is 14 years a legacy? Well wait - when did you last win a Super Bowl? Seriously. Boston has tremendous history. Sports victories have only been the last decade of a 3 century history and most of those are questionable.

Since when is "stupid" a loophole? They knew he's a huge doucher so they shoulda protected themselves with Huge Doucher language in his contract.

It's my understanding that language is already in all NFL contracts.

Ya with the dudes coming in these days, I would think it'd be standard language. In all sports.

Always saw this ad campaign as so ironic since satellite tv goes on the fritz everytime there is a strong thunderstorm whereas cable typically survives a thunderstorm if your electricity does. Of course, if your satellite goes out during a heavy downpour, you're not likely to get out and drive anywhere.

[Dzone]

Worst sports scumbag since OJ Simpson. Sucks that Mass doesnt have executions, if ever there was a time for it, its with this pos...videos of him frying in the chair would be a sensation

[tomjonesrocks]

From his court appearances and letters, Hernandez seems pretty content with all this. Really strange.

[OB]

He be tru gangsta

[OB]

Seriously though, he had $40 mil in his pocket and he knew if he was caught it would all be gone and that never even phased him - he is a loser to the core - his gangster lifestyle and rep was and IS more important to him than anything else - its truly pathetic

from article:


Hernandez didn't know the victims before that night, and had no interaction with them until a dancing de Abreu accidentally bumped into Hernandez -- spilling some of Hernandez's drink -- as the Patriots tight end stood at the edge of a dance floor, said Haggan.

"(Hernandez) became angered and increasingly agitated, particularly after Mr. de Abreu smiled and did not apologize," Haggan said.

No argument was seen, and the eventual victims weren't "even aware that the defendant had become angered or agitated," Haggan said.

Hernandez told a friend at the lounge "that Mr. de Abreu had deliberately bumped him and was, quote, 'trying him,' " Haggan said.

Of course, if your satellite goes out during a heavy downpour, you're not likely to get out and drive anywhere.

Technology has changed quite a bit. Wind and rain doesn't really affect satellite reception, unless it's like a 70 mph wind, and in that case you're probably not kicking back watching tv in your living room. You're probably in a storm shelter. In 2 years the only time I've lost reception was when there was snow build up on my dish.

The $18 million Aaron Hernandez made in three years as a tight end for the New England Patriots apparently was insufficient income to continue to afford the defense attorneys he has retained in his legal proceedings.

Hernandez, jailed for nearly a year without bail in Massachusetts as he now faces murder charges related to the killing of three men, has filed a motion asking a Suffolk County court for two months "to make financial arrangements to retain counsel," according to legal filings, the contents of which were first reported Friday by Fox Sports and later confirmed by ESPN's Michele Steele.

The district attorney's PR department had no comment to ESPN's Steele but said they are aware of the situation.

from article:


Aaron Hernandez enjoyed a nice life when he was in the NFL with the Patriots. He signed a $40 million contract, bought a big home in the suburbs and was able to spend his riches on whatever he wanted.


Hernandez's attorneys Charles Rankin and James Sultan filed documents stating that they may discontinue representing the former NFL tight end. The report states that Hernandez is unable to sell his home due to a restraining order and part of his $12.5 million signing bonus ($3.25 million) is in dispute as a result of his murder charges. As a result, he has no influx of money.

Make him settle for a free public defender. Give him an attorney fresh out of law school who needs practice...No, unfortunately, he will get a dream team of attorneys who will defend him for the free publicity it will get them

[tomjonesrocks]

Hate to complain about bad things happening to AH, but then what they're saying is all someone has to do is file a restraining order against you and you can't sell your own house? He hasn't been found guilty yet -- and they're able to tie up his finances and prevent him from adequately defending himself for the purpose of locking in their civil judgement? That doesn't sound right.

Still--already broke...that's great. Guess his "Makin' it Rain" move wasn't just limited to football. Can you start a Kickstarter / FundAnything campaign from the Big House?

This guy is so cooked. 2 separate murder cases and no money left. Just plead guilty and get on with it...

[TXBRONC]

Not that I feel sorry in any way but I wouldn't doubt he's blown through $2 million.

(CNN)Convicted murderer Aaron Hernandez is in trouble once again, getting mixed up in a prison fight, a law enforcement source with knowledge of the incident said Tuesday.

Hernandez allegedly agreed to be the lookout for another inmate who went into another prisoner's cell at Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center.

Those two inmates got into a fight Monday, the source says, believed to be gang-related.

All three men are being disciplined over the incident, including the former professional football player, who was put in a special management section.
