    Good riddance. Hernandez is a vile and sick human being.

    It just occurred to me today that, given what we know now about NFL players and concussions/head trauma, would the OJ trial have gone differently? Would he be a more sympathetic public figure, and less a villain?

    In any case, Aaron Hernandez is now the most famous incident of "when keepin it real goes wrong".

    Just think; at one point, the Florida Gator offense had Tim Tebow playing behind the Pouncey twins throwing to Hernandez, Riley Cooper and Percy Harvin

    Idiot threw it all away.

    Seemingly lived a double life. Football player by day, murderer by night.

    Dude knows what he's talking about. After all, he did go to Harvard Law.

    Quite possibly the most ignorant tweet, ever.

    Or the most accurate. Maybe he is literally confused about how the justice system works.

    Hernandez is going to get put to sleep after the double murder he committed the year prior.

    But in all reality, I was expecting a not guilty out of this case.

    He was guilty of the crime, but no murder weapon, witness, or motive.

    So the prosecution was fortunate to get that verdict, but you have to give them credit for planting the story.

    I'm pretty sure he'll be the passer.

    Damn that prison is close to Gillette, only about 1.5 miles from the 50 yard line.

    If he's outside at the right time, he'll be able to hear the games.

    There's a heavily wooded area in between, but absolutely he should be able to hear the roar of the crowd if he happens to be outside while one of the games is on.

    Either
    1. If they want you . . they can get you
    2. His lawyer was not very good
    3. There is more that maybe we did not see

    I thought someone testified against him
    I know his Ex did but I did not think she was strong enough to carry the whole case

    Now . . they go to appeal right . . . more years of litigation
