Aaron Hernandez having a busy offseason

[jiminphilly]

Hopefully Tim Tebow can save him.

[R-Jack]

Or play TE

[R-Jack]

They'll just shift gears and use tight ends that actually block. Might not be a bad idea since it looks like they have RBs they want to use in Ridley and Vereen

Hernandez and friends LEFT a shell casing in the rental car they returned. Also, a piece of gum.

Sam Farmer ‏@LATimesfarmer 11m
Prosecutor says Hernandez was spotted in video walking through his house with gun in his hand.


"Tight End" is about to have a whole new meaning for this dipshit.

Most dangerous job in America:

"Friend" of Aaron Hernandez

[Screw_Michigan]

I see what you did there:

Friend of Aaron Hernandez

[Mikey]

I hate those smiley quotes. Reminds me too much of Schlomart.

Given his prior association with a gang, you have to start to wonder just how many more crimes he "might" be connected with. That crime in question happened in 2012. How many other times has this idiot rented a car for the commission of a crime?

Watching this scum bag swirl around the drain a few times might just be fun to watch. Too bad Mass doesn't have the death penalty.

In particular, I wonder what kind of gang banging activity preceded/precipitated that double homicide in 2012. It certainly sounds like he was in this up to his neck.

Also, one has to wonder what this means for the league going forward. Goodell has spent the bulk of his personal political capital pushing back on players who get in trouble and for his trouble he gets what potentially could be the single worst POS ever in the NFL flying under the radar for 4 years, getting signed for a 8 figure deal on his 2nd contract with one of the best franchises in the league. I have to think that this only means Goodell is going to try to be more hardassed with the players. Which might well mean yet another work stoppage come CBA renegotiation.

Stop with this Patriots as a model franchise bullshit. They're the same as the fucking Bengals and all the other franchises: They thought they got a good value in Hernandez, a very talented guy that they could get deep in the draft and CHEAP due to character issues. They thought they were getting a good value and they got BURNED.

[Screw_Michigan]

And what is he doing in a fucking Marshalls? Jesus.

It does? And who might that be? You got me.

The owners/league lose leverage on this one.

NFL teams knew there were concerns about Florida tight end Aaron Hernandez going into the 2010 NFL draft.

The marijuana use, the short fuse, the shadowy friends from his Connecticut hometown who made visits to Gainesville, Fla. — where they were well known. It was also known that Hernandez was generally regarded as a hard worker on the field, and his talent and versatility were evident.

Like nearly all potential draft picks, Hernandez was a risk/reward prospect, though the risk seemed bigger with him.

Hernandez is under investigation in connection with a homicide after the body of Odin Lloyd, 27, was found near Hernandez’s North Attleborough home on Monday. Hernandez is also facing a civil lawsuit after allegedly shooting a friend in the face in the Miami area earlier this year.

Shaughnessy: Patriots lost their way

Hernandez’s troubles were well known, long before the Patriots selected him in the fourth round.

An NFL scout revealed his team’s pre-draft file on Hernandez on Thursday, and one section stood out:

“Self-esteem is quite low; not well-adjusted emotionally, not happy, moods unpredictable, not stable, doesn’t take much to set him off, but not an especially jumpy guy,” the scout said.

Though he has three NFL seasons under his belt, Hernandez is just 23. He entered Florida in the spring semester of 2007, just two months after he turned 17.

But even arriving on campus at such a young age, Hernandez already was using marijuana and quickly settled into the party life of his Gators teammates, the scout said.

Hernandez left Bristol for Gainesville a year after his father, Dennis, died after complications from hernia surgery. Hernandez has said his father’s death affected him deeply, and sent him on a self-destructive path; his older brother, D.J., did everything he could to keep Aaron focused on football and school.

The scout said Hernandez had long been around “street activity,” and once his father died, it gave him reason to act out.

Not long after arriving at Florida, Hernandez was questioned in connection with a shooting outside of a nightclub, the scout said, but nothing came of it.

He was suspended for one game during his Gators career for failing a drug test; the scout said a suspension isn’t usually handed down until the third or fourth failed test.

After the Patriots drafted Hernandez in the fourth round in 2010, the Globe quoted one NFL executive who suggested he had failed four to six drug tests in his college career. Hernandez released a statement after that report was published, saying he only failed one test.

A second scout, who worked for an AFC team before the 2010 draft, said Hernandez’s marijuana and character problems were the worst-kept secret in the scouting community.

“It was pretty well known that he had failed some drug tests at Florida, and there were questions about his maturity that come along with that,” the scout said. “You worried about the people he hung out with.”

Though the first scout said Hernandez’s friends from Connecticut made visits to Florida, one former Florida staffer said then-coach Urban Meyer “didn’t let anyone in” to the program who wasn’t part of a player’s support circle.

“[Hernandez] was extremely young when he got there for us, we knew that, but it seemed like he had turned a corner and was maturing,” the former Gators staffer said. “We knew there were things to work through. Hard-working kid, guys on team loved him. He’s a tough guy; he didn’t take crap off anybody, but never to the lines of what’s being talked about [now].

“One of Urban’s strengths, he can see a kid like that and reach them like others can’t.”

A third scout recalled that Hernandez was considered the toughest kid on the Gators’ roster and “no one will mess with him.”

Despite those question marks, New England made Hernandez the 113th pick in the draft, getting what many considered to be a player with first-round talent for a fourth-round price tag.

It didn’t take long for Hernandez’s quick temper to be revealed at Gillette Stadium. According to an NFL source, within days of being drafted, Hernandez was at the team facility trying to watch film.

When he couldn’t figure out how to use the equipment, he asked how it worked, but got no answer. When Wes Welker walked by the room, Hernandez asked for his help, but Welker said, “Rookie, you figure it out.”

Hernandez responded with expletives.

Hernandez spends little, if any, time with his Patriots teammates off the field, opting to spend his time with those same friends who used to visit him in Gainesville and have known him for years.

1st round talent with a SHIT load of baggage. The Patriots seemingly had a steal with this guy in the 4th round that was until this story broke. Screwy, is right, they got burned with the recent contract he signed, even with the cancellation of the off-season workout bonuses Hernandez could have earned. Other teams seemed content to let this guy go, though there is always one coach or organization that feels they can "fix" a player [cough] Philadelphia Eagles [/cough]

Goodell can be as hardassed as he wants to the players in the league, it's not going to change the guys that are already fucked up by the time they reach college. His band-aid approach isn't going to stop teams from drafting guys like Hernandez who was clearly a ticking time bomb.

Thanks, I'm just sick and tired of the "model franchise" tag being so easily bestowed on the Patriots. So what, they got malcontents to buy in back a few years. They're not saints. They can't resist massaging their egos by singing players with HUGE baggage that they can get good value on. They also knew years later that the dude was a Grade A POS yet still extended him because they thought they were keeping him in line. And yet other Peter King like dipshit to slob Belechick's knob when the opportunity arises.

Guess not, faggots.

[Joe in PB]

Model franchise? The only way the Pats could win a Superbowl was to film the opposing teams walk through. Once that part of game prep was taken away they haven't done squat. I guess it is like Rome used say, if you're not cheating, you're not trying. Fuck the Patsies......

Hernandez threw away fame and fortune, but thank God he kept his street cred. That'll pay the mortgage.
