I'd say faulk is in a bit of a denial stage.
The organization is doing/has done everything it can to distance itself from this. I doubt that Robert Kraft would be too happy that a career Patriot would be doing interviews about Aaron.
I'd imagine he wants the Patriots name involved as little as possible. Now he obviously can't control or influence what CNN does but I'd assume he might still have had some sort of influence (future charity work, team anniversary stuff) in the upcoming future with Faulk that he wouldn't be happy to see a former player speaking on it. He's the only Pats player I can think of who has spoke openly about it. Even Matt Light said something like "I never believed in anything Aaron Hernandez stood for" then quickly retracted/denied saying it.Why should he care if said career Patriot is no longer directly involved with the organization?
I found that "pushed far enough" thing odd. Who pushed him? This was all his own doing.I have it on my DVR. Will watch it when I get a chance.
And I heard the Faulk audio driving in to work today. He basically said that he is praying for Hernandez and having a tough time believing he did it. He also said anybody could do those things if they're pushed far enough.

Why would the Patriots have any problem with this?Nothing really that ground breaking. I just thought it was a little strange Kevin Faulk was involved. I'm sure the Patriots are not to pleased.
Come onFaulk did not come across well. Considering his own publicized misstep with weed, I'm wondering if that was the basis of his "friendship" with Hernandez.
Where are we going?Come on
I'm not really sure why you guys think the most tight lipped organization in sports would have no problem with a former player openly discussing an open murder investigation on another fomer player. Gronk threatened to walk off an interview when he was asked repeated questions about Hernandez. They've clearly been told to say nothing.
So just because he's a "former" player Kraft has no issue? You really think he saw it sat back and said "oh good for Kevin. I can't wait to see him at a team function and let him know how much I appreciated his interview."There's a word in there that's important. It's used twice and is clearly the keyword of the post. Can you tell me which one it is?
