"In 2013, Hernandez went to Belichick and he told him he feared for his family's safety. When Belichick suggested they get the Patriots security team involved, Aaron said no. Instead, he requested that he be traded to a west coast team.
Bill Belichick just said no.
CUT TO BELICHICK BEING INTERVIEWED:
Question: "In 2013, Aaron Hernandez said he feared for his family's safety and requested a trade from the Patriots. What did you do with that information?"
Belichick: "It's an unfortunate situation with Aaron. I don't have anything to add to it."
Cut to a Boston Globe reporter: "Belichick never explained why he didn't trade Aaron Hernandez but it was probably because the team invested all this money in him because he was still a great football player. This embodies what we call Football Inc., which is just a cold attitude that says we just want to win..."
[MUSIC]
"And so a young man ends up dead."
Holy mackerel, what a conclusion to that sequence of statements, Belichick quotes, Boston Globe quotes. Hernandez wanted to be traded for fear of his family's safety. Belichick refused because he cared more about winning. And so [BECAUSE OF THAT (IMPLIED)] a young man ended up dead.
I mean, is this not laughably pathetic?
Last week, my kid put in the best performance she ever had while trying out for a soccer club. Afterward, the coach came up to her and said, "You have to be more aggressive and try running harder next time." He said it sarcastically. She didn't pick up on it all and just started shaking her head, "Yes, I'll try harder next time." He had to explain to her that she was super aggressive and that he appreciated it.
I have not seen any of it but tension between Gronk and team happened way before his initial retirement. We heard it as soon as Gronk started getting injured and his 2nd contract.I hated how they spun the narrative that basically Belichick was already over Gronk's antics the night they drafted him but coddled a murderer.
Holy ****. Plenty of debate actually. What is your guess as to Hernandez’ motive for murdering Lloyd. My guess is it had something to do with the double murder in Boston. Hernandez was a psychopath. He shot someone if Florida, he may have killed two guys in Boston, and then was convicted of shooting his “crew mate” Lloyd. There is no reason to believe his pattern would have stopped with a trade to the WC.Why?
Bill trades AH to WC
Odin is alive today
Is there any debate to that?
The media was spinning it that Belichick told Gronk to pipe down at the draft. The video footage showed it wasn't that, they were all laughing and he said it sarcastically.I have not seen any of it but tension between Gronk and team happened way before his initial retirement.

I'm not blaming Bill for the murder. Come on. Odin wasn't part of his crew. It probably was something as innocuous as AH feeling disrespected.Holy ****. Plenty of debate actually.

Trying to somehow pin this on Belichick is straight up demented on your part. You have good comments to make about football but you’ve made this into a very peculiar crusade against BB at a personal level. Get a grip, it’s entertainment ffs
The media? Gronk said it himself. Dude, you even lie about stuff we're all watching at the same time. You definitely suffer from mythomania. Get help.The media was spinning it that Belichick told Gronk to pipe down at the draft. The video footage showed it wasn't that, they were all laughing and he said it sarcastically.

Yes, but we don’t know the full conversation. And it wasn’t the media, Gronk himself said it.The media was spinning it that Belichick told Gronk to pipe down at the draft. The video footage showed it wasn't that, they were all laughing and he said it sarcastically.
The guys triggered by this series because it makes Bill look bad are pathetic. They are telling a story within a story. The real story is the relationship between the 3 main characters as it evolved from the very beginning to the end. They stop around critical points where things happened that foretells the ending. We are hearing it directly from the people that were involved, at least those that chose to speak.
On the AH episode, there isn't anything that isn't factual:
1. Teams passed on him because he had red flags. Bill drafted him anyway.
2. Dude had issues that his teammates noticed, as did the coaches and everyone else.
3. Dude wanted to get traded to WC. Bill said no.
Ernie Adams: "Aaron was obviously a very talented player and he got a big contract, uh, which in retrospect, no, we shouldn't have done that. Probably the best thing for Aaron Hernandez pro football career and his life might have been to go to the Seattle Seahawks. Not be within a two-hour drive of people he grew up with from his hometown of Bristol. You know, someone got killed. A young person lost his life because of Aaron Hernandez."
Is Ernie a Bill hater too?
I think it's a gripping excellent series.
Holley made a great point in their “postgame” show. He said that Bill offered Pats security, and AH passed, because it would have held him accountable. He didn’t want to be accountable.
It’s not a Bill hit piece at least so far. There are some people here who are very very sensitive to any Bill criticism at all, it seems. I’m a huge Bill fan and I tend to get combative with people who dump on Bill but I recognize he has made mistakes, like everyone does. I’m enjoying the series. It is excellent.Just finished episode 5 and I am still wondering how this is allegedly a Bill "hit piece"? They basically spent an entire episode talking about how Bill was able to keep the team competitive and winning after losing Brady and I assume they were planting the seeds for the Bill vs Brady episodes down the road.
Was anyone else besides me waiting for someone to say BB had offered AH a “safe house”? Remember that Rolling Stone article? Good grief.Holley made a great point in their “postgame” show. He said that Bill offered Pats security, and AH passed, because it would have held him accountable. He didn’t want to be accountable.
