Interesting.

We still don't know everything about the Wednesday morning arrest of Aaron Hernandez, but practicing defense attorney Harvey Steinberg told NFL Network's "NFL AM" he was surprised by how police went about taking the former New England Patriots tight end into custody.

"If it was simply an obstruction (of justice) charge, one would have called his lawyers, and said, 'Look, bring him to the courthouse, surrender him at 9:30 a.m., we'll have an advisement, we'll set bond immediately," Steinberg said. "But instead, they sent (nine) officers over in suits, they had a couple cruisers, and they drove him away, and they made a big show. Now, that's a little unusual for a charge that's not that serious -- I mean it's a serious charge, but nowhere as serious as a murder case."

Said Steinberg, who doesn't represent Hernandez, but has represented NFL players in past court cases: "The fact that they did it the way they did it, suggests to me it's going to be a very, very serious situation. Otherwise, they needlessly humiliated Mr. Hernandez in front of the media. They knew the media was there, and they made a big show by coming over and doing it the way they did. One wouldn't think they would have done this for obstruction."

Hernandez is scheduled to appear late Wednesday morning at the Attleboro District Court for arraignment, where he'll learn the charges against him.

The Patriots aren't waiting around to find out. New England released the 23-year-old pass-catcher just hours after his arrest.

Hernandez is the 28th NFL player arrested since this past Super Bowl.

Football players are losers.

you're missing his point. Regardless of how we're reacting, we're wrong.

If we were more supportive (not that anyone has really thrown him under the bus), we'd be unabashed homers defending a murderer.

The way we're playing it? The only method available to troll is play the "poor innocent victim of racist massholes" angle.

how about "wait and see?"

you know, the way you would react to john doe

 

[Rock Strongo]

see, this is our curse as pats fans

we support the guy and say "innocent til proven guilty" you guys berate us for supporting a murderer or a guy at least deeply involved in one

we applaud him being cut because of the PR implications of you know, housing a guy under suspicion of murder...and we are "throwing him under the bus"

what would you like us to do?

please tell us

francis?

how about anyone?

You don't see this with hockey players...

Or with past football players anywhere near this extent.

Why - after all these years - this needs to be explained to Rock is beyond me. I wasn't going to do it - let Francis have his fun because Rock was definitely biting.

That's the overwhelming sentiment around here...even today.



Which makes me think the Pats got wind of what the charge was going to be.


You also have to remember, he shot a dude in the face in Florida 2 months ago...I think that factored into this decision...too much smoke for them, and they bailed...time will tell if they did the right thing.

I think the media is creating this rumor more than the Marlins really putting it out there

He put the Pats playoff chances in jeopardy. I'm surprised they didn't drive him directly to the electric chair.

"Maybe he did it, and if he did, fuck him"
"Maybe he didnt do it, and in that case, we welcome you back with open arms."
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"Fuck him, he has been connected, and he deserves the punishment."

Hockey players are white .... which means they were raised by TWO parents.

They are more disciplined
