here's a pats thread for everyone to talk about patritos shit because nobody else cares

hell be good for manning since he catches mostly short passes anyway

getting real tired of all these articles speculating how betrayed and angry Brady is after the Welker deal

talib and arrington back
adrian wilson in - i don't know how much more he has, but pats don't have much at safety
donald jones - never saw much to get excited about with him, but have to assume something is there
emmanuel sanders - great pick up if it gets confirmed, sounds like it will

danny woodhead to chargers. he generally did a good job, sad to see him go. hope he is getting paid somewhat

wow awesome getting talib on a 1-year deal

e. sanders signs offer sheet, let's see what sburgh do. this would be a great way to spend a 3rd round pick imo.

yup--from what i've seen it will be tough for the steelers to match

Dante Scarnecchia is the best dude, i hope he somehow lives forever and never retires

"You have to prove yourself every day in this league. If you don’t, if you’re not willing to prove yourself every day and [you’re] complacent, it will be a [butt]-kicking of astronomical proportions. None of us want that.”

WHAT IN THEE FUCK

Again I say WHAT IN THEE FUCK

http://i.usatoday.net/sports/_photos/2009/04/08/harrisonx.jpg

hernandez shooting someone in the face after an argument at a strip club makes his post-TD celebration juuuuuuuust slightly less charming

Trying to make a Cheney/Hernandez joke but it's not jelling :-(

glad k3v is safely out of the country

it's looking increasingly like this dude's career/life is over

A law enforcement official tells FOX 25 Hernandez appears to be directly tied to the homicide which is why authorities executed a search warrant at his home Tuesday night. According to the same source, Hernandez, Lloyd, and two other men were at a bar in Boston the night of the homicide, and at some point, the four men left together in a car driven by Hernandez which was confirmed by a text Lloyd sent another friend, the source says.

It is unclear where the car went or what happened during the ride, but according to the source only three men returned to Hernandez's home at the end of the night and Lloyd was not one of them.

The source also says forensic evidence places a vehicle driven by Hernandez at one of the crime scenes in this case.

I haven't followed his off the field antics, gronk's were always overshadowing his I guess. He was pretty uncontroversial up until now yeah?

no he dropped to the fourth round because of off the field stuff

just weed tho right?

he shot some guy and smoked his weed

well now there has been some reporting that teams were concerned about potential gang affiliations http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/nfl/news/20130619/aaron-hernandez-history/

fuck

Steve Silva ‏@stevesilva 5m
Hearing via law enforcement source that Aaron Hernandez will be arrested in connection with the North Attleborough murder

it is weird to see Attleborough written out. especially on twitter, that is a rookie move.

what is the most serious crime a regular serving nfl player has been convicted of

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rae_Carruth

damn this is really fucked up. What a weird week.

:(

wow
not to be crass but i imagine timmy moves to te for sure now, yes?

the pats are deeper at TE than anyone in the league

and every last one is eccentric in his own special way

pats' basic formation on offense this year will be 3 RBs and a fullback

Apparently Channel 5 currently has a helicopter following Hernandez's SUV as it drives through Dedham.

http://livewire.wcvb.com/Event/New_England_Patriots_TE_Aaron_Hernandez_questioned_in_murder_probe

I mean, who cares this deeply about were Hernandez is going that WCVB decided they needed to devote a live feed and a helicopter to it??

stories of pending arrest seem to be premature at best rn

I will admit I checked that live feed to see if his SUV was white (it was)

lol

ABC News reporting Hernandez destroyed home security system, cell phone handed over "in pieces."

Cool plan, Aaron!

yeah this guy's never playing a down of football again

this is completely terrible but I keep thinking Tebow is cursing the bad aim of his smite prayers, completely not picking up on the heavy-handed hints God is giving him

At best he's accessory/conspiracy.

it's going to be pretty tough nailing Tebow as an accessory no matter how hard he prayed

Investigators have also searched three Enterprise rental cars that were registered to the NFL star, including one that had its silver mirror knocked off. That vehicle, sources said, was recovered at an Enterprise location in Boston Wednesday, a day after police issued a BOLO [Be On The Lookout] for it. The sources said it had been dropped off abruptly sometime Tuesday with the broken mirror.

#BOLO

it's going to be pretty tough nailing Tebow as an accessory no matter how hard he prayed

Ryan certainly treated him like an accessory lol

At best he's accessory/conspiracy.

they're gonna charge him with first degree murder

all he did was pray to become the Pats starting quarterback, sheesh

they're gonna charge him with first degree murder

Yeah it definitely looks that way.

can't believe aaron hernandez spent his offseason executing guys in empty fields (wild speculation with the plurals but still...)

well one guy he tried to kill inside a car
