Aaron Hernandez: The next OJ?

Tebow.

Ray Lewis can get him out of it.

I think Zimmerman is gonna be the next OJ. So he would be the next, next OJ.

Zimmerman never rushed for 2000+ yards.

...so, is his first call to Ray Lewis and his legal team?

Arrest warrant reportedly issued for obstruction of justice.

How did the Eagles miss out on this guy? He's right up their alley.

I am interested to see what happens with this case. I heard on the radio the other day some guy filed a civil lawsuit against Hernandez for shooting him in the face at a club a few years ago??

I'm curious how that didn't involve police or arrest? A shot goes off in or at a club and police aren't called to check it out?

I think Hernandez is pretty certainly guilty of obstruction of justice in this case though.

Not that it matters but Hernandez allegedly "only" shot him in the arm and the bullet traveled up into the guy's head, blinding him.

Of course, it's all circumstantial evidence, but it's becoming increasingly clear that there's a reason at least some teams had removed Hernandez from their draft boards a few years ago. The Pats got a steal at the time, but it looks like the bill has come due.

It will be interesting to see if this has an influence on how teams draft and sign players going forward. What we've seen in the NFL is that tigers very rarely change their stripes. Players with troubled reputations in college almost always bring that baggage with them and become liabilities in the NFL. Teams took chances with Lawrence Phillips, Adam Jones, Maurice Clarett, Randy Moss, et al, and all got burned to varying degrees or had to devote extra resources to those players. Recently, the Rams and Bengals have been ignoring the off-field issues and picking up great "values"... but it remains to be seen how that strategy plays out in the long run.

I'm sure the Pats thought they had enough veteran leaders and high character guys in their locker room that they thought they could manage a player like Hernandez. But it looks like it didn't work out. Perhaps teams feel they have to take chances on guys to gain on edge, or because they feel they need a bit of "nasty" attitude in their locker room. I know one of the big criticisms of my Packers this year is that they lacked guys that brought that nasty aggressiveness to the table, especially on D. As we're seeing once again though, there is a price to be paid for taking risks on players of questionable backgrounds.

He can't be the next OJ. People knew who OJ was.

According to the lawsuit they were arguing in a car. the gun went off and hit the guy in the arm. The bullet then packed its bags and headed north to the dude's melon where it is now causing a lot of problems. The guy didn't file charges and wouldn't cooperate with police, so they couldn't arrest Hernandez. The kid needs to learn how to pay off people. If he did it right, the guy wouldn't be suing. Amateur.

Anyone can see that story is BS. There had to be a second shooter behind the bushes on the gravelly road.

Mike and Mike reporting he has just been taken from his house in cuffs by the po po.

Looks like a spot at TE just opened up for one Timothy Tebow.

. Bill Belechik likes this. He also has no opinion on Hernandez.

Latest is that he's apparently also being investigted as a suspect in a double murder that took place in 2012.

Pretty amazing that the Patriots are offering a jersey exchange. King's of like " the name Moses shall be no more" and they're trying to wipe the books of his existance.

Yeah; I get that. I'm not one to compliment the Patriettes, but applaud this as a very classy, fan oriented move.
