I also don't think that it's a failure on BB's part. He has taken many gambles over the years in picking players that come with question marks, and in the 13 years that he's been here, this is the first time that something really bad has happened.
We still don't know if Aaron himself broke the security system or if it was one of the other two men with him that night.
Its all on Hernandez.
The Patroits could not have placed him in a better position to succeed and set himself up for life. All he had to do was work hard and stay out of trouble.
I agree that there is nothing we know for certain, and I know no more than anyone else on this board, but it doesn't stop me from joining the discussion on this board, and doesn't stop me from speculating on the extent of what happened. Like you or anyone else, I am dismayed by what happened and can't make sense of it, and feel compelled to decide for myself what happened in order to try to make sense of it all. Naturally I stand to be wrong if it somehow turns out that Hernandez is completely innocent, however unlikely it seems.
However, while I maintain the opinion that Hernandez will not put on the Patriots uniform again, not once have I passed judgement on Hernandez's character, or thrown him under the bus. It's just very unfortunate that this has happened.

Exactly - and if the cellphone was in fact damaged the same applies there. And it doesn't benefit the media to add that factor while the witch hunt frenzy is at its height. It amazes me that all the 'weekend detectives' posting on this board can't at least understand the mediots are simply grasping at straws.
Too much drama, wake me up when something substantive happens..

Dont you mean new 2nd string QB/ 1st string TE?
I think the Pats should have done a bit more digging on him before they gave him the extension, and they should have included a few more clauses in said contract, word is that they're on the hook for millions even if he's sitting in a jail cell. Not a good way to mitigate your risk.
All dancers are to return to work immediately! And bring your work clothes.
Of course, law enforcement has info that hasn't been made public. Some public info I might have missed: Fiance and baby live with Ahern? Does the sister live nearby? Have members of Ahern's entourage(s) been identified? I would have thought there would be more noise about other people. But you have to be prepared for things to turn in unexpected directions.
If Hernandez is truly a good teammate, then he cares about team members; the guys on the New England Patriots. Of course, this typically extends to close personal friends, as well. Otherwise, they probably wouldn't rate (as such), yeah?
Yet, we hear/see nothing from Hernandez in regards to the awful death of his close friend. If your friend was murdered, wouldn't you want to find the killer(s)? Wouldn't you want to help get to the bottom of things?
Hypothetically, if Hernandez participated in the murder, would you- as a member of the New England Patriots -want him as a teammate? Perhaps, the same thing might happen to you? Hey, if this is how one treats their friends...
In my opinion- which appears to be shared by many others -this situation goes far beyond a single incident. And, it is NOT simply about evading jail time just to play a game. Those who are only thinking in terms of padding their egos with a championship that they merely participated in from a viewer's perspective should get a grip.
This is about human life and character...which also enables real teams to excel.
If that is the case then he probably still should not be partying at some low life strip club with his buddies late into the night with a baby girl at home (after a incident just months back) .
Its risky behavior even if nothing else ends up having any merit .

I posted about this yesterday ...
Was laughing my butt off when they said the Cadillac Lounge ...
That place is full of lowlife perverts with an adult video store up the street.
It's a place for the gangsta look ...
Hernandez getting that contract was the proverbial lipstick on a pig.
