Around the NFL 2013 Offseason (Version 5150)

[Ruhskins]

Man, people suck up to the Patriots so much. I'm sure they will be fine this season, just pointing out some things that are different (including a HUGE scandal) and will make it harder for them to run up the score on teams like in previous year. If they win fine, if they lose, I won't be losing any sleep over it.

pats just cut hernandez

Can't say I feel sorry for Hernandez. Whether he's guilty of pulling the trigger or not, he has no one to blame but himself for putting himself in a very poor situation.

Patriots Cut Aaron Hernandez After Arrest - Business Insider

Team's statement from the article:

A young man was murdered last week and we extend our sympathies to the family and friends who mourn his loss. Words cannot express the disappointment we feel knowing that one of our players was arrested as a result of this investigation. We realize that law enforcement investigations into this matter are ongoing. We support their efforts and respect the process. At this time, we believe this transaction is simply the right thing to do.

Wow.

As for "innocent until proven guilty issues", the court of public opinion is not bound by any such stricture. To date, the facts known point to his guilt of some involvment and his actions have done nothing to dissuade such a conclusion. What can be proved in a court of law is an entirely different matter.

The Pats cutting him, I'd think means that at the very least he is going to be charged with accessory to murder.

Here's something to think about.

@HTTR24_7: Think Hernandez gets smacked with Murder at his arraignment today.Guaranteed NFL security knows more than the public.Probably why he was cut

funny to see how different organizations handle things. Pats basically saying, horrible situation and they dont support it and dont want the attention.


Dallas on the other hand invites their killer to the sideline the next week and he is still on their roster after failing multiple substance abuse test.


amazing

Not that I want to defend the Cowpukes, but I would say this is a slightly different situation (but yes, Cowpukes could have cut that guy right away). I am sure NE did not want the attention. Glad I don't have to hear moron Pats fans trying to defend Hernandez.

CR - I have sat on a criminal jury in Baltimore City. Not sure elsewhere or for high profile crimes, but, on a Baltimore City jury, the presumption is that the police are liars and everyone is just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

[JoeRedskin]

As I said earlier, the evidence is pretty clear that four men went into a room and three and a corpse came out and, subsequently, Hernandez actively destroyed things that would likely provide information as to why that occurred.

We may not be sure of exactly what he is guilty, but, at a minimum, he intentionally hindered the lawful investigation of this murder.

I believe it is safe to say that he is, at a minimum, guilty of obstruction. Even without knowing all the facts.

Its also clear the Police had issues with how Hernandez handled the whole thing. Otherwise they would have just asked for him to turn himself in instead of handcuffing him and making him do the "perp walk" in handcuffs in front of all the cameras. That was the local Police giving him the middle finger.

@ProFootballTalk: Source with direct knowledge of Hernandez situation tells us: "Assume the worst."

Once he signs his $40 Million extension, the TV trucks will be on his lawn too.
