I totally agree with the first sentence. It just sounds to me that Hernandez was putting himself in those situations rather than finding himself in them. If that makes any sense.smastroyin said:You don't think your environment and the types of areas and business that you are conducting can put you in bad situations? It doesn't excuse the behavior, it's just a theory about how he could have gone from "risky" draft pick to "good citizen" Patriot for three years, back to "alleged murderer." Unless there was a bunch of stuff covered up, it sounds like a guy who had put all that shit behind him, but then it came back big.
That filter is so amusing, I keep forgeting what's actually being filtered.AimingForYoko said:My favourite word filter strikes again.
bankshot1 said:If the cap hit for releasing AH is $7.5MM, does it put the Pats over the cap, and if so, is there a NFL penalty for that?
SoxScout said:WCVB says there is "disturbing and damaging evidence against Hernandez"
DLew On Roids said:"Looks like the Pats and Hernandez will both be in the market for a...TIGHT END."
maufman said:Reports I've seen say it hits their 2014 cap.
As I said above, I'm skeptical that the Pats acted rashly when a more deliberate approach would have avoided this cap hit.

I miss when journalism involved news.

Maybe they've done it, but I have heard one

That reminds me of the language at :55 of this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TroyG_2qrKISoxScout said:WCVB says there is "disturbing and damaging evidence against Hernandez"
I just wonder about the balancing act of the Pats/Kraft in doing the "right thing" while not hamstringing football operations. And I agree the Krafts are not stupid people.prone to rash decisions. This probably has been discussed by lawyers for the past week.maufman said:Reports I've seen say it hits their 2014 cap.

maufman said:Why would they mention Ray Lewis? That was a brawl where two men got killed, not an execution-style shooting.
If murder charges against AH don't stick, or if he's released on bail, I'm sure ESPN will make the Lewis analogy. Until then, it's not relevant in the mind of anyone who isn't a Pats fan.

PeaceSignMoose said:OK, sorry to lead everyone on, but considering she just found out (from me) that Sutter was en route to Attleboro District Court, I think it's safe to say that rumor was just that - rumor.

Is this tweet a dig at the Pats, Celt and Bruins?

Yup. Somebody mentioned that there might have been an issue between the victim and his GF. No idea where I saw that.Ferm Sheller said:Anyone else have the gut feeling that this may not be at all drug-related (the motive, that is)?

smastroyin said:It does, so it could also be a case where he got the contract and just had money and youth associated hubris to go along with anger issues, which is a bad combination. I just don't think that unless something else comes out, you can really fault the Patriots for offering that deal. Will be interesting to see the details.

Or it was a just a mediocre joke.Smiling Joe Hesketh said:It was in bad taste and horribly petty ("Look at us!") and reinforced the notion that Werner and his merry gang of PF princesses over there have the thinnest skin this side of Bill Simmons.
I must've forgotten when the other three local teams piled on the Sox for the beer and chicken and pain killer fun times. Oh that's right, that's because it never happened.

I don't fault them for offering the deal at all. How were they supposed to know what he was doing away from Gillette or who he was associating with?smastroyin said:It does, so it could also be a case where he got the contract and just had money and youth associated hubris to go along with anger issues, which is a bad combination.
