So Aaron Hernandez is no longer the most murder-some player on the 2011 Patriots?

Records are made to be broken.

The legacy of the 2011 Patriots secondary gets worse by the day.

This is Gilmore's hometown, a football hotbed, just south of the NC/SC border about 20 miles south of Charlotte. Very nice suburban community. Sounds like he killed the town's Doc Graham, very sad.

It was just yesterday when I was looking at the 2010, 2011 and 2012 defenses and I saw Phillip Adams' name with a pick in 2011 and I had no memory of him whatsoever.

F-ed up. Horrible.

Yeah he did not ring a bell when I heard the name, although that is not really a name I would remember unless he played a big role on the team. Awful news, hate to see when humans reach that point.

If I'm understanding correctly, someone lost both their parents and children at the same time. Literally doesn't get worse than that.

 

[BTTA]

Ugh.
The fact that this happens once in a while with an NFL player is probably running to the norm statistically. Plus there's the uncertainty and destabilization thrown in of concussion incidence rates. And unfortunately, the more it happens, the more it grows in the back of our conditioned minds as an acceptable and normalized way of resolving things.

Two NFL players in two days committed murder. Him and Travis Rudolph.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Man thats got to be heart wrenching for the family .

 

[Patriot Missile]

Just saddens me when someone is so far gone that they could take childrens lives. Murdering a grown adult is bad enough, but kids are just the ultimate worst act a human can commit.

Oh no, ross ventrone was also a victim of Belichick’s sign and cut routine that year.

 

[denverpatsfan]

Does the media blame CTE, the NRA or the Patriots for this one?

If they autopsy and pull the brain we will find out.
