    Yeah, because I'm sure he has his scale out weighing drugs in the locker room.

    There is still 14 hours out of the day where he isn't around. His teammates say he didn't really ever hang out with him. Might be a good idea to figure out what he's doing for those 14 hours.

    :chuckle:
    yeah, especially not when he has a flop house to do it in. gheesh.

    ... and reportedly the NFL dropped him from draft boards and waited till the 4th round to pick him b/c of the belief Hernandez had gang ties. I don't think that belief has as chance to subside when, in the NFL, he spent all of his free time with questionable individuals. He never stopped quacking like a duck. The guy has been collecting illegal weapons, getting into bar/club fights, hanging out in a flop house with thugs, and not spending any time with teammates. I have a hard time believing the same guy who took a picture of himself flaunting a .45 could keep ALL of his continued transgressions, suspect activity, and questionable choices a secret from the entire NFL. It's always the same mentality, "Well he never killed anyone before so I didn't suspect anything." This is yet another typical case of thinking the writing was on the wall in retrospect.

    How many people did Allen Iverson murder? Hindsight is 20/20 there were NO red flags AH would become a murderer as a Pro. None.

    Sean Taylor had more red flags. Chris Henry had more flags. Pacman Jones. Tank Johnson.

    Why exactly did such a talented TE last until round 4?

    No one is saying there were red flags AH would become a murderer. We are saying there were red flags and the worst of them continued through his pro days and those weren't investigated enough before they gave him a new contract. The best part is that Robert Kraft agrees, so I don't know why so many want to argue with this.
     
  7. Why did Tom Brady last 6 rounds?

    Colorado Dolfan ...dirty drownin' man?

    Because he didn't show much in college?

    Just maybe. ;)
     
  9. You sure it wasn't because of his violent personality?

    What's interesting about this is the context. Immediately following the conclusion of a game and this is what's on Brady's mind?

    First time I read it I didn't realize it was one flowing statement from Brady with Tebow interrupting in the middle. Hearing it I realized it's:
    Brady: "You know, I'm trying to watch over Aaron and Brandon, but they're a lot to handle."

    I will say they have a point though....he is in full segregation lock down 23 hours a day in a very small cell.....he should be in intake where the living conditions are much better.....obviously he is there for his own protection.

    remember if and when he gets convicted seg his *** for the rest of his life I don't disagree but as it stands right now he is an innocent man...people who aren't convicted and sentenced are in intake until they are dispo'd out....

    it is a dangerous precedent to set going forward...

    Speaking of which AH is in court today at 2pm for a grand jury hearing where at that time the DA is presenting "strong evidence" linking him to the 2012 double murder in Boston.....

    coincidentally Belichick has his first presser today.....................














































































    at 2pm.....:shifty:

    I mean the victim was black and AH is a white Hispanic right?

    Again, if someone could produce any red flags if him as a pro, I would be more apt to agree with your line of thinking. Again, the original question was why the Patriots gave him that second contract for all of that money. Not the rookie contract, which was reflective of his draft day plummet due to his COLLEGE issues. I have yet to see anyone produce anything of significance to prove the Patriots somehow didn't do anymore than they should have for a guy who produced on the field and wasn't a troublemaker off the field (in terms of the law, in the media, etc.)

    Even the Brady/Tebow conversation you now cite was done in jest, as stated in the article. And has come to light a month after a murder charge, while the spotlight is hot and focused on all things Hernandez and everyone is looking for anything to throw on him.

    As for Matt Light, yes, I take what he says with a grain of salt. Not because I think Hernandez is a good guy (he is a murderer), but because Light appears to be piling on and setting himself up as some sort of prognosticator. There wasnt one word from him prior to the media or any reported discussions with teammates or management regarding his concerns. Perhaps he kept it to himself, which is possible. But his statement is so purposely vague in his review of Hernandez, in order to give himself an out if need be, or a crutch to stand on if and when a conviction is doled out. He literally gave us zero substance with that statement and whoever got that quote from him did a piss poor job of following up to try and get specifics.

    Are you really surprised no one on the Pats said anything? Under Bill when are they ever allowed to speak outside of a few accepted remarks.....

    Sorry I missed this.

    I feel at this point, any red flags that come to light, you'll discount as piling on or it doesn't count and then say there's been no red flags. And you still keep ignoring the fact that Robert Kraft agrees with me.

    I'm sorry but I can't carry the same respect and praise for Kraft, because of his publicity stunts and politically correct in-front-of-the-camera BS. He's a CEO, and there are NO CEOs in this country that are successful by being moral and ethical in business. Doesn't happen. It would be too predictable and therefore too easy to take advantage of. And for him to say, "we made a mistake" after his guy is charged with murder is as much 20/20 as the rest of the pontificators. Hugging and kissing the guy after the contract, then "well we made a mistake, sorry." It wasn't a mistake before the arrest. I can maybe accept that he's slightly better than the rest of the garbage that is the business side of the NFL, but by no means is he "the model of humanity" that he's being played up to be...sorry. Its sad when a collection of people is so bad that any of them that show the slightest improvement over the norm, they're viewed as upstanding citizens. He's about the buck as much as any other greedy *** big business executive, if not, he wouldn't be in the position he's in...being nice doesn't make one rich. Buying back the jerseys was just another public opinion improving, calculated move to separate the organization from this jackass. Nobody in their right mind should blame the Patriots for what AH did...HE did it FFS! < /rant >
