This was all divine intervention for Tebow's glorious return to football prominence. Gronk's out for at least a while, Welker is gone, Hernandez may be doing 25 to life behind bars, Lloyd is gone. Tebow is primed to become the savior of the Pats.

Someone up there must really want Tebow to have his shot.

Bad stretch for Patriots TE's. The other 4 on the roster might want to take some preventive measures before they go the way of Iowa Running Backs.

The fact is, nobody in Gainesville is totally shocked that Hernandez seems to be a person of interest in a homicide probe. Especially not Johnson, the man who is famous for not only representing UF athletes but making their troubles disappear into the legal limbo land of dropped charges and deferred prosecutions. When Urban Meyer coached in Gainesville, we media cynics used to call Johnson the most valuable member of UF's staff even though he doesn't actually work for the Gators. Even so, he was Meyer's ingenious and innovative "defensive coordinator" because he was so effective at defending some of the Urbanator's gun-toting, bar-fighting miscreants and malcontents. Some athletes just always seem to find trouble, and Hernandez was certainly one of them at UF. It started in his freshman season when he was arrested after getting into a fight with a bouncer at a bar near campus. He was a juvenile then and got off with a slap on the wrist. According to the Sporting News, Hernandez also had some controlled-substance issues and was suspended for failed drug tests later in his tenure at UF. Hernandez was among four Gator football players questioned in a 2007 shooting incident in Gainesville. None of the players was arrested, but detectives questioned them about the shootings of Corey Smith and Justin Glass on the Sunday morning after Florida lost to Auburn in 2007. According to a Orlando Sentinel report at the time, police said Smith, 28, and Glass, 19, were driving around in traffic about 2:30 a.m. when a man began shooting into their car. Smith was critically wounded in the head while Glass was shot in the arm. Hernandez declined to discuss the case with reporters back then and was never charged with any crime.

Nice work Urbs.

I guess it is the ex-Patriot.  ESPN is reporting that Hernandez has been released.

Less than two hours following his arrest, Hernandez was released by the Patriots, who initially announced the transaction on their Twitter account before formalizing it in an official statement.

If it is true that he was involved in the murder, then Hernandez joins Rae Carruth, Jayson Williams and OJ as the 'dumbest mother fuckers ever'.

Tossing away $40 million dollars to take away another man's life is insane.
