Still puzzling to me, however, is the reaction of a hardcore element of fans to news of player's transgressions. Apparently it's fine and dandy for players to come to Foxboro with rap sheets because the Flying Elvis somehow magically washes their souls of all sins.
But you can be absolutely certain, as a very small minority of individuals pointed out under those Globe stories, that had Hernandez been drafted by the New York Jets and the same revelations were made in the New York Times, Post or Daily News, New England fans would be laughing themselves silly over Rex Ryan's misfortune, and the reporters that broke the stories would be heralded as heroes by giddy Patriots' fans.
