The status codes for players listed on NFL.com stats are:

ACT = Active
RES = Injured reserve
NON = Non football related injured reserve
SUS = Suspended
PUP = Physically unable to perform
UDF = Unsigned draft pick
EXE = Exempt

Hernandez no longer fits any of those categories.

I have it on good authority that the NFL would have liked to add a category fitting Hernandez' status, but they found it just too hard to make a three letter acronym out of: Just Another Gangsta Wannabe In Prison Who Had the World On a String But Threw It All Away Because Somebody Questioned His Manhood
 
A vehicle reportedly rented by Aaron Hernandez has been linked to a double homicide committed in Boston’s South End last July. CNN cites a law enforcement source saying that Boston Police impounded a silver SUV with Rhode Island license plates on Thursday. The vehicle matches the description of the car witnesses reported fleeing the scene of the shooting at the corner of Shawmut Avenue and Herald Street on July 16, 2012.

Then, on Thursday evening, the NFL announced that any contract involving Hernandez would not be approved until the charges against him were resolved and Roger Goodell had a one-on-one meeting with him – essentially giving Hernandez an indefinite suspension from the league.

So, where do we stand now? Hernandez is in Bristol County prison and, barring any unforeseen breaks in the case, will stay there until his trial begins sometime next year. He’s lost his job with the Patriots and is all but barred from playing in the NFL again, pending the outcome of his trial, of course. It’s not to say he is guilty or won’t play in the NFL again, but, let’s be honest with ourselves, it’s not looking too good.

Fair enough. I was only looking at the stats for current players, which Hernandez (I refuse to call him AH anymore) is not.

By the way, did anyone see Ben Volin's re-tweet from someone pointing out who the last person to tackle Hernandez in the NFL was? Any guesses?

Yup.

Bernard Pollard.

This one doesn't count: he didn't actually injure anyone in this case.
 
I haven't read all 60 odd pages of this thread but I'm sure others have already said this, and I'll say it again:

He needs to be given the death penalty.

To kill someone because they spoke to someone you do not like means you are truly evil. Some of the things the taliban and al'qaeda have done is very evil, but does not compare to this. This was a "You annoyed me so I am going to kill you" type deal. At least the taliban and al'qaeda try to explain their killings to a higher power.

This was just a kind of 'I didn't like how you looked at me and so I am going to kill you' type deal. Aaron, I was one of your biggest fans, but I really hope you fry in hell. There was no reason to take another person's life and hopes and dreams just because he spoke to someone you did not like.

I really cannot express how angry I am at AH, and how sad I am for Odin Lloyd. Who lost all his dreams and his life because he chatted with a person that a famous sports star decided they did not like. Aaron Hernandez... one of my favorite patriots player... DIE IN A FIRE.

Massachusetts hasn't had capital punishment since 1982.

Actually, the idea that he killed the other 2 people last July makes a lot more sense than the initial motive that we had believed, and as the days/weeks progress you can bet your *** that the prosecution will attempt to mesh the 2 instances together. Hell, they've already been hard at work doing it lately.

Judging by the recent developments in an extremely cold case from one year ago and the choice to impound the SUV that they've been looking for, it's pretty obvious that they are getting witness cooperation from one/more of the people who were also in the car with him on both instances.

I don't think it was anything close to "I'm killing you because you annoyed me." I believe that Llyod either knew of the prior incident, or was even talking about it with someone else on Friday night at the club. That would certainly make much more sense, and judging by the recent new developments that is exactly what I think happened. Just my opinion.

When in doubt, blame Pollard. It can't hurt any.

In all seriousness, it is a bit ironic. I can't say that I'm surprised in the least.

I've been lobbying for awhile to just pick him up, keep him on the 53, and sit him squarely on the bench every game--but no one seems to want to listen to me :eek:
 
Massachusetts hasn't had capital punishment since 1982.

My point was that AH needs the death penalty. This was all pre-meditated. I don't care how old he is. Everyone knows right from wrong by age 12.

This was first degree murder no matter how you look at it. AH knew all along he was going to kill this guy. This guy, whose only offense was to speak to someone that AH disliked. And for that his life and his future wife and his future children and his future grandchildren will never know this world.

We don't need people like AH in this world.

In a perfect world, he'd be on a lifetime trip to Alpha Centauri. :)

FWIW, the theory that has been bandied about (forgive me for not knowing where it started) is that he was involved in the 2012 double homicide, and killed Lloyd because he was being loose-lipped about it.

It costs more to kill 'em than to imprison 'em.
 
Huh, I just saw a picture of Shayenna Jenkins, AH's fiance, being escorted from the bail hearing by attorney Janice Bassil and it suddenly occurred to me that I know her. I worked for her firm the summer of my second year in law school, Carney & Bassil. She did a lot family law stuff, nasty divorces, domestic-type situations, at least the summer I was there. I wonder who else is on this case? The summer I worked there doing crim law was the best summer. By far the most interesting job I have ever had.

Small world.
 
There are plenty here. Why don't YOU read them since you're so fed up with this one?


EVERY thread ends up like this one now. People bashing the crap out of eachother, or a poster taking over thinking he or she knows everything in the world.

So I guess Hernandez's lawyer saying the case is weak basically shows that the only case he would deem strong is if Hernandez had been caught keeping Loyd's body with him , "weekend at Bernie's" style.
