NFL Offseason 2013

so....initial reports by the prosecution is that Hernandez saw his associate talking to some people he didn't like at the club, then planned and executed his murder. Seriously?? Seriously??? Seriously????????? I can't think of anything more equal parts idiotic and reprehensible than this

That, that just can't be really true. Thats like schoolkid cliques stuff gone insane. "You can't be his friend and my friend!"

Ugh, what the heck? As a Gator alum, this really troubles me.

Sounds more like gang affiliation then a schoolyard clique. Gang affiliation was one reason he dropped in the draft. In reality the dude is just a thug, and the free education, NFL career and millions of dollars couldn't change it. I have never liked him as a player, now I really dont like him as a human being. But at least the Patriots will probably suck this year.

I had no idea, but I didn't follow him in college and really never heard of him until he started balling real hard in Boston. Seemed like a good dude to me, but I guess I was waaaaaaaayyy off base :hmm:

I didn't really follow college ball back then, not that I follow it too much now. All I noticed is that he seemed really quiet. Of course, half of that could be not tracking US sports news so much.
 
He was doing a good job getting away from his bad reputation in college. I don't remember any stories about him getting in trouble as a Patriot. He was a favorite target of Brady, Gronkowski has been injured, he was reunited with his college QB and buddy.

I am surprised by this story.

There was an interview with him recently, sounded very head on his shoulders, looking for a good life with his daughter.


Sigh.
 
C'mon man, of course as a human being too. It just bothers me even more than most because he came through my school and I cheered for the guy. I honestly don't remember him having a bad rep in school, just a ton of tats.

I know...I just couldn't resist the urge to be all snarky and self-righteous. Feels like that's the way I'm supposed to act on the internet :D

Actually I apologize for that; it was unnecessary.
