Hernandez is the 28th NFLer arrested since the Super Bowl

[Doctor_J]

a single Detroit Lion was arrested 3 times in one week. Upside: a lot of these are misdemeanors

1. "Rapeball".

2. He's been charged w/first degree murder and a mess of weapons charges. No bail for him.

His arrest/arraignment interrupted programming in the greater Boston area all day.

Apparently, he was a moron who didn't know how to disable his own security system, and brought his victim to a place that had video surveillance to murder him in cold blood. A real charmer. Stick a fork in him, he'll probably get life.

3. not to mention that the purported motive is that he didn't like

the victim speaking to someone at some club and thus couldn't trust him.

23 years old. the guy had everything- except for brains and character. his signing deal last year was worth $40 million.

4. Two arrests today - Hernandez for murder

and Ausar Walcott of the Browns for attempted murder.

8. The plot thickens. Mister Hernandez might have been involved in another double murder.

And the victim this time round might have either known about it, been involved in it...or talked about it, necessitating that he be "silenced."

Damn!

If there's another couple of murders, who's to say there aren't a couple more?

5. Easy solution: Background checks for all players, ban football outside college

Don't let kids play football, and replace tackle with tag (and whatever you do, don't let kids mention it or play it in school).

I get along fine in life without football. Maybe we should only let people who work in the government play.

Works for other things I hear

6. They do run background checks on players, and they do have professional tag football...

also called Arena League Football.

BTW, I get along fine in life without cigarettes!!

[The Straight Story]

7. And I get along without a pet, a gun,

Or a car (though it would make life easier)

And I don't care about smoking, but I do care about people in power telling others what they can or can't do (from abortion to gay marriage to smoking in a bar - same principles drive it all - freedom and not having others making choices for you)
