So... Aaron Hernandez

[pbmax]

Announcer: "It would literally be murder to sit on that jury and listen to how those people were brutally assaulted."

Color Guy: "Speaking of assault, these refs are really letting the secondaries get away with a lot today."

That's going to hurt.

he's probably gonna fry now, unless they can convince the court she's insane. and the fact that she dated him might help their case

WHOOPS

It's over. Aaron Hernandez found dead in jail cell. Apparent suicide. What a waste of a life that once had a lot going for it. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/1...ad-prison-cell

A very apropos statement.

[MadScientist]

Good riddance. He finally killed someone who fully deserved it.

[RashanGary]

Big parts of humanity are lost. So sad.

[gbgary]

not the gansta, he wanted everyone to think he was, after all.

[BZnDallas]

OK, I'll say it. He was murdered. At least that's what I originally thought. No big loss to society.

Something very odd happened to this kid in what publicly seems like the space of 10 years (actually less).

He lost his father while he was in high school. I wonder if that not so much precipitated his decline but removed someone he could rely on to control it. He went south very quickly after this (father died of complications due to surgery when he was 16).

Radio is all over the map on this guy today, engaging in hoary stereotype after hoary stereotype. Both Dan Patrick and his producer Pabst made mention of his tough upbringing. When they actually had a guest on who knew his story (Tom Curran) it was pointed out that he had a thoroughly middle class childhood with two parents living and siblings.

And he was charming enough to sway Robert Kraft and the team to give him that contract. This was after a shady record at Florida that saw him leave school early in a decision that seemed to be applauded by both the player and the college. His behavior in college was the reason he dropped in that draft.

I would not be stunned if he had mental health issues predating all these things.

Its a terrible story that has taken a huge toll on a lot of families.

[gbgary]

he was bully and a thug. we all knew guys like that growing up. on top of that he got the special treatment that star athletes get so he was used to getting his way with no consequences.

Why do you think that, BZ?

Just askin' & all.
