...and in the priceless category, ESPN has Ray Lewis discussing the AH situation. Timing is everything.
They are about Entertainment first and foremost. Always have been.
What Lewis could lend to the conversation is what AH might be thinking/going through after having been involved in a murder. Doubt that is how they are using Lewis though.

Just like Ray, it's all about the injustice and false accusations that the white man brings down on the poor black af-a-wheet.

Why do ya think Ray found God? The guilt is eatin' him up.

There's no PC way to put it, and it'll never be pretty when somebody does, but as long as athletic performance is valued higher than morality and ethics by coaches, and later, owners of professional franchises, the thug element will continue to grow and flourish.
I suppose I really don't care if that's the image the NBA and NFL wants to project and support, but I'd just as soon see events like this be a rogue occurrence as opposed to continuing a long-running trend.

I would bet there are more criminals per capita playing in the NFL than the NBA or any other professional sport.
It's dated now but I'd recommend reading the book Pros and Cons. I'd bet the stats haven't changed much over the last 10-15 years. A fair percentage of NFL players are thugs and lowlifes and guys either charged or convicted of crimes beyond misdemeanors. The study for their book uncovered something like 20% of all NFL players had been involved in serious crimes.

Gronk just had back surgery. Hernandez isn't playing in 2013. They traded Welker. Number 1 TE on the depth chart in camp might be Michael Hoomanimawanui. Brady is probably building steam on a week long bender right now.
Billy needs options.

Easy for you to say.
They have Jake Ballard who was awesome at Ohio State--stole him from the giants after he ripped up his knee in the Super Bowl
Danny Amendola and Jake Ballard are options 1A and 1B for Tom Brady in 2013.

NBC reporting cops are back in his house now with 2 police dogs.
quote:ABC has reported that the arrest warrant will be executed “at some point.” The warrant arises from Hernandez’s allegedly willful destruction of his cell phone and his home surveillance system.
If Hernandez is toast and given Gronkowski's chronic health issues, it is something for a team with that two TE combo to possibly essentially be without them both.
Really immature, Doug. I never considered that both their TEs may miss the season given the current circumstances. I appreciate that the possibility was mentioned here.

So how many play-by-play announcers are praying right now that Gronkowski is a quick healer and that this whole Hernandez thing is just a series of unfortunate misunderstandings.

Prayer is nice but they should be calling the trainer of some NFL stud healers.

Expending any bandwidth on a useless post like the above is pathetic. I suppose that concept eludes you.
After June 26th we have unlimited bandwidth & disk space 
I have to admit, I am eluded.

And if anyone can get it through Tebow's thick skull he's not a QB and built like an H-Back, it's probably BB. Of course he still has to catch and learn to run a couple of routes but it's not insurmountable.
Anyone that expects Tebow to contribute in year 1 of transitioning from QB to TE/HB is kidding themselves. He hasn't run a single route in his entire career, has never caught a pass in a game, has never had to fight to get off the line of scrimmage, and doesn't understand coverages (which was a struggle of his as a QB). There have been much better athletes that have been busts at WR and TE than Tebow, and they actually played WR and TE in college.
