Pretty good article that I actually saw because SMY tweeted about it. Russell Goldman asked media members, "Does the media feel duped by Aaron Hernandez or the New England Patriots? "
Does The Media Feel ?Duped? By Aaron Hernandez Or The New England Patriots? ats Confidential
I was impressed by Shalise Manza Young's comments; very thoughtful. I wish we got to see her expound on her thoughts this way more often:
My only disappointment with the article is I would love to hear more from the media weigh in, as many get ready to declare open season on Belichick & Co.

I was there that night Robert Kraft and Hernandez discussed his contract extension, and I still believe that Hernandez was genuine when he felt like the Krafts and the team had changed his life with his new contract. He was vulnerable that night, almost afraid to show this softer side of himself.
It is when he said the “Patriot Way” forced him to change that we – I – bought in, and believed that the largely nebulous issues from his past we’d heard about were truly in his past. Hernandez would play with Berj Najarian’s boys and Josh McDaniels’ son after camp practices, and he looked like he was truly enjoying himself, just horsing around with little boys who adored him and whom he appeared to adore as well; I always took note of that, and it is something that sticks with me now. I don’t think that was fake; I just think it was part of the clearly complicated puzzle of this young man.”
