The Mind of Aaron Hernandez

Submitted by HelloHeisman91 on January 15th, 2020 at 9:26 PM

It’s a new documentary that hit Netflix yesterday and wow is it crazy to revisit his story.  It’s a three part series and each episode is about an hour and a thread to discuss it seems like a good idea.  Has anybody else watched it yet?

Eli, there are several books written about Aaron Hernandez, I would recommend reading one.  All American Murder by James Patterson is quite good and enlightening, IMO.

Aaron Hernandez was sketchy from the jump, nobody can really argue that point.  What is interesting about the situation is that he went from merely inattentive and socially inept to violent and psychotic rapidly.  His behavior before he was arrested was not merely deviant but bizarre and his interactions were almost disassociative.  Teammates report him to be almost child-like in his final days with New England.

Nobody, nobody is excusing Aaron Hernandez.  But his conduct in light of CTE discoveries and research in interesting to say the least.

Awesome set of verses.  If you dig in to those words you can see that Love is above self but does not forget self.  Our actions, daily have consequences intended or not and can be positive or negative!  Anything, any minute can turn on a dime and practicing Love helps us make choices that affect others positively.

KJ is the OG and even when JH's impressive run ended it was still KJ that stood alone by all the most important metrics for GOAT.

Now they go H2H and KJ wins and you think somehow he's not the real GOAT because he borrowed a winning strategy he saw?

JH gets full credit for introducing a new way to play the game but when he and KJ both played it, KJ WON.

I had really forgotten a lot about the story. They are really playing up the gay thing. I heard it, but never to this extent. Not that there is anything wrong with it.

If he doesn’t get help very soon I’m fearful Antonio Brown may sadly experience a similar end (in regards to a very young death/longterm incarceration).

Based on what I've read he's always been a bit of a loose cannon, but what has transpired in the past year is pretty serious. Things started to get worse and worse ever since that terrible hit to the head he took from Vontaze Burfict in the playoffs a few years back. He seems to be extremely disconnected with reality and I'm afraid he is becoming a bigger and bigger danger to himself and those around him (if I were a female I would not be within 100 ft of this guy and sure as hell never alone with him).
