OT - Breaking ; Patriots Aaron Hernandez escorted from home in handcuffs
following this story from yesterday on CNN, this does not look good at all

He must've confused himself with a Bengals player
I think we are all somewhat familiar with the story. I hope the FP guy didn't write this too. Nothing good happens after 3:30 AM.
that it bad news. Have been following that story pretty closely and was amazed he wasn't arrested sooner - simply the breaking of his cell phone and security system as well as the hiring of a cleaning crew seemed to have been enough to arrest him for obstruction.
Hernandez was a germaphobe.
So his buddy that he shot in 2007 had pink eye, then?
To soon
Most doctors would agree.
I'm sure Tom Brady is feeling great about not taking as much money for his new contract. First they lose Welker, then the Gronk's injuries make him iffy, and now Hernandez looks like he might be gone for awhile. Ugh...not a pretty picture for the Pats.
Enter: Tim Tebow, the savior
Congrats, LMV! When did you start working for ESPN?
First, I'm sure that this is more than Obstruction of Justice. Secondly, if you played for Urban, your chances of a felony charge are infinitely increased.
F-Ohio!
This angle is fucking stupid. Aaron Hernandez, a 23 year old grown man three years removed from Gainesville, had some involvement in killing a dude. What does this have to do with Urban Meyer?
Corches don't have to babysit their players 24/7.
That the angle people are taking (including/blaming Urban) is fucking stupid.
Actually, the fact that they waited so long to arrest him makes me suspect that they don't have much evidence on him for anything more than obstruction of justice.
Tell that to Ray Lewis. Although, it seems now that Lewis has retired, someone had to fill the villian role. Now all Hernandez has to do is have his come to God moment, and wear religion on his sleeve as a defense from the fact that he is truly a piece of shit. Transition complete.
Ray Lewis is a SAINT!! Dont you speak down on him in that manner unless he somehow prevents the Lions from winning a Super Bowl!!
When I first read about this story last week, I immediately thought of Ray Lewis and that whole situation. Seems there are some common factors between these two murders.
He needs to come up with a sweet-a$$ pre-game introduction dance...including an eyepatch in deference to the guy he (allegedly, wink-wink) shot in the face in Florida.
I don't have enough points to upvote this but I wish I could, about a hundred times. That is all.
I guess when you're rich and famous the police don't arrest you, they escort you.
...why his arms were in his shirt?
What is this 1st grade?
I heard that Hernandez looked at Urban Meyer as a father figure while at Florida. I can only conclude that Urban Meyer sucks and is a terrible person.
I don't actually believe Meyer had any influence/association, it was a sarcastic remark because I don't care for Urban Meyer. The remark about me thinking he sucks was real though.
Point taken, but I don't think it's that far-fetched to think that Meyer's "Circle of Trust" policy instilled, in Hernandez, some false sense of impunity? For many, the college years are the formative years of life. I don't think it's crazy to at least consider that in judging Hernandez's behavior.
I completely agree that part of a college coach's job should be to help their athletes grow and mature as people, but this was an execution committed 4 years after Hernandez left Florida. At some point, Meyer no longer bears responsibility for this adult's decisions. That's like saying that Rodriguez is responsible for Pacman Jones slapping that woman a few weeks ago. At some point these men are responsible for themselves, not their football coaches.
Plus, blaming Meyer in jest makes light of a very serious and tragic situation. It's a pretty despicable way to try and poke fun at a rival school. But point taken that football coaches are (or at least should be) more than just people who teach kids to play football.
*This is written as if Hernandez has committed a crime. I realize he has not been formally charged with anything, let alone convicted.
I wouldn't blame Meyer, and I don't think anybody should. But at the same time, the character (or lack thereof) and values (or lack thereof) of players he coached could be considered a reflection of his coaching abilities. In other words, a different coach with a different set of priorities and a different set of values may have helped shaped Hernandez's character differently.
Pretty sure Urban Meyer is responsible for Michael Jackson's death also... Damn you Urban and your recreational drugs
but, this has to mean that there is some pretty strong evidence coming his way
Yes before any charges even released. Makes me think they have been briefed on what he will be charged with.
