You should have quit after Haynesworth. The Pats struck out with Dillon (In 2004- 1,635 rushing yards, 12 touchdowns and a SB) and Moss (In 2007- 98 catches for 1,493 yards)? Obviously, taking a chance on Hernandez is proving to be a terrible mistake by the Pats in hindsight. But he did have a couple of successful seasons to start (and finish) his career, so they really didn't strike out with him footballwise.
Wow, MHK...I see poor Robert is still In mourning. Now, I dont have a problem, with the guy screwing a chick young enough to be his grand daughter, but prostituting his wife memory, otoh, is pretty sleazy once he starts doing it. Stay Classy New England.
He should just invited the guy to the home opener at Gillette and shot him on the fifty at halftime. Geez.
pats get them back and re-sell them? maybe they can make-back some of the money they've lost on the shooter.
This is really funny. The Bengals are criticizing New England or drafting Hernandez. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/...-tight-end-2010-draft-jermaine-gresham-070113 The Cincinnati Bengals are known for taking chances on players with troubled pasts and questionable character. They decided long ago, though, that they wanted to stay clear of Aaron Hernandez. Bengals owner and general manager Mike Brown told FOX Sports on Monday that the franchise intentionally passed on selecting Hernandez in the 2010 draft after closely scouting tight ends that year. An unfavorable pre-draft report the Bengals had received about Hernandez and concerns there was the potential for more off-field problems at the pro level helped influence Cincinnati to select the University of Oklahoma’s Jermaine Gresham in the first round. Hernandez was a fourth-round choice by New England, which released him last Wednesday after he was officially charged with 27-year-old Odin Lloyd’s murder in North Attleborough, Mass., as well as five counts of illegal firearm possession. “That one is no secret. We just stayed away from it,” Brown said about Hernandez inside his office at Bengals headquarters. “We didn’t question the playing ability. But we went for Gresham.” Cincinnati wasn’t the only club to feel skittish about Hernandez. Although he displayed NFL-quality athleticism as the 2009 winner of the Mackey Award annually given to college football’s tight end, Hernandez was the sixth one drafted in 2010 behind Gresham, Rob Gronkowski (New England), Ed Dickson (Baltimore), Tony Moeaki (Kansas City) and Jimmy Graham (New Orleans).
One thing that should be mentioned as being the Pats have already deemed that Hernandez is guilty as they've cut him, they are doing the jersey exchange thing but have they returned the money that Hernandez donated to the charity named after Kraft's wife? I mean if they guy is guilty of at least one murder possibly two more and shooting a man in the face would you really want his money being associated with a charity named for such a great woman (or so the media tells us)? I mean Bob is such a classy guy shouldn't he return the money and make a statement? Or is maybe the general public doesn't know that Hernandez donated 50K last year after he signed that huge extension? http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/new-england-patriots/post/_/id/4728165/kraft
http://csnne.nbcsports.acquia-ps.com/blog/patriots-talk/tebow-tried-keep-hernandez-bar-fight I haven't even had a chance to read it yet, but I'm sure its a warm, heart wrenching story full of pitfalls and harrowing life lessons. Either way, It's Tebro approved :up:
Where would he return it to? It was donated to a charity. If the guy had given the money to some kind of organizational coffer, I would understand, but he donated it to a charity. Should he take that money and donate it to another charity? Should he give it to the fiancee of Hernandez? Unless the Myra Kraft charity is proven to be a money coffer for Big Bob (which is probably the case, since that asshole was practically dancing on her grave with a deformed-looking young model weeks after her death), when money comes from a bad source, it usually goes to charity for public image. The Pats, if they really wanted too do the right thing, should sue Hernandez for his contract earnings and take the money to further cement their "positive public image" by contributing to the families of the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing.
Only in the eyes of Jets fans would suing a player be the best way to restore a "positive public image".
LOL yeah because stuffing their fake charity with the money from a quadruple murderer is pristine business. Go fuck yourself already.
They could give the money to the family of Odin Lloyd , that would be a good start being one of their players probably killed him. I don't think Lloyd had children but I'm sure his family could use the money.
Starting to look like PSU down there. Football over the law: http://m.espn.go.com/wireless/story?storyId=9446754
