Around the NFL 2013 Offseason (Version 5150)

funny to see how different organizations handle things. Pats basically saying, horrible situation and they dont support it and dont want the attention.


Dallas on the other hand invites their killer to the sideline the next week and he is still on their roster after failing multiple substance abuse test.


amazing

Anyone recall why the Niners were dominant in the late 80's through the 90's? Same reason. Weak division.

A weak division gets you to the playoffs. It does not get you the amount of SB wins that San Fran won during the late 80's and early 90's. To get that many SB wins with a weak team would involve a weak NFL, not a weak division.

I used to live in Cali back in the early 80's (summer of 80' through summer of 86'). I had the opportunity in the summer of 85' to go see the 49ers at one of their training camp practices. Trust me, Montana didnt miss a pass. He hit his receivers in perfect stride almost every time. He didnt have the strongest arm, but his accuracy was a thing of beauty.

Side note - Little did any of us know that the skinny WR that they picked in the first round that year would break almost every record before he was done.

What did he do, exactly? You've pronounced him guilty of murder so you certainly know an answer to my question with precision.

I'll tell you what, next time that you are in a situation in which you are surrounded by damning circumstantial evidence, we'll pronounce you guilty without giving you a chance to defend yourself. That's what you are doing to Hernandez.

Of course his actions look fishy. But to pronounce guilt without allowing him a defense is unAmerican.

From what we know there is solid circumstantial evidence, but we also don't know what else the Feds have. He'll have his day in court, which is his right, but it's not looking good. We may never know who pulled the trigger. It will be interesting to see what the other two guys have to say.

CR - I have sat on a criminal jury in Baltimore City. Not sure elsewhere or for high profile crimes, but, on a Baltimore City jury, the presumption is that the police are liars and everyone is just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

If you read back to my original post I said that he either murdered OR aided in the murder.

UnAmerican? Not cooperating with police is unamerican. That is KNOWN with what Hernandez is doing.

@ProFootballTalk: Patriots call decision to cut Hernandez "simply the right thing to do" Patriots call Hernandez release “the right thing to do” | ProFootballTalk (http://t.co/Vsr75LyUCI)

(For those who want a link to the story)

The Pats cutting him, I'd think means that at the very least he is going to be charged with accessory to murder.

Here's something to think about.

@HTTR24_7: Think Hernandez gets smacked with Murder at his arraignment today.Guaranteed NFL security knows more than the public.Probably why he was cut

As I said earlier, the evidence is pretty clear that four men went into a room and three and a corpse came out and, subsequently, Hernandez actively destroyed things that would likely provide information as to why that occurred.

We may not be sure of exactly what he is guilty, but, at a minimum, he intentionally hindered the lawful investigation of this murder.

I believe it is safe to say that he is, at a minimum, guilty of obstruction. Even without knowing all the facts.

Its also clear the Police had issues with how Hernandez handled the whole thing. Otherwise they would have just asked for him to turn himself in instead of handcuffing him and making him do the "perp walk" in handcuffs in front of all the cameras. That was the local Police giving him the middle finger.

@ProFootballTalk: Source with direct knowledge of Hernandez situation tells us: "Assume the worst."

Meanwhile, Ausur Walcott (Browns rookie DL/LB) charged with attempted murder
