    What I have witnessed in the last 7 days, is pretty much unprecedented in my 31 years following the NFL.

    But regardless, the Pats based their decison on principle, not money. And so they'll take the pain.



    How?

    How what? Are you trying to suggest that I don't know my own mind and that I must have witnessed this before?

    Any reason why he didn't puy his arms through the sleeves of his t-shirt before getting cuffed?

    They cuffed him first, then put the t-shirt on him.

    He's probably referring to previous cases that have happened over the years. Ray Lewis, OJ, Vick, Ausar Walcott etc.

    A bad taste joke from a titans forum

    "
    I think its safe to say when he comes out of prison he wont be a Tight End anymore. He'll be a wide receiver!!"

    Sad thing to see, especially considering the caliber of player.

    To go from Top 5-ish in your position to Jail on Murder charges is a massive drop.

    Really disappointing. Well done to the Patriots for making the decision quickly.

    Ah yes, that makes sense. They could have let him get dressed first though shouldn't they? He was hardly going to do a runner.

    Never mind the fact that this has never happened to a Pats player before. But here we have a guy is being linked to the murder of a friend, blatantly destroys CCTV evidence and hands a smashed phone over to the cops. Nope, that's never happened before.

    Throw in the fact that he put up such a good act last summer and sold it to all us fans. He had Robert Kraft gushing about him, when he walks into Kraft's office all tearful after signing his new contract and hands over a $50,000 cheque to Robert for his MHK's charitabkle foundation.

    He then gives an amzing prsee conference about how he's a changed man, a new dad, the Pats saved him. Declares his love for Belichick and Kraft. How he owed so much to the team and how he would give everything to repay the trust and faith shown in him.

    Yip, 31 years folllowing the NFL and I have never seen anything like it. I have never seen such a set of circumstance or a betrayal like this ever occurring before.

    Text messages read out from Hernandez to a friend. It's getting worse the more is revealed.

    I'd have thought the Ray Lewis case would have been very similar to this.

    He has a baby daughter too. It's going to be awful for her growing up with all of this.

    http://nesn.com/2012/11/aaron-hernandez-says-baby-daughter-changed-my-life-knows-he-cant-be-reckless-anymore/

    He refers to her as "life changing" and says he knows he "can't be reckless any more"

    Ever arrest is unprecedented in all of the nfl, because every case will have slight differences.

    The evidence really doesn't look good for him.

    Not a fan as long as you have been, but I do agree with you. This past week has been shocking and crazy.

    Unsurprising response. Sorry bud, I also have never seen anything like it.
