Re: Aaron Hernandez Saga

CTE or not, he is a scumbag coward POS thug-wannabe loser who squandered his life and his talent and left a 4 year old on this planet without a father.

Think someone would have to kind of re-think things a little if CTE is involved.

That being said, if it's not, then I agree with the rest of your post.

Generally I agree but as more facts about his life emerge it seems like he's been this way for a long time, quite possible well before any of the CTE could have set in.

Just a thought, I'm in no position to say one way or the other.

Judge rules Aaron Hernandez murder conviction vacated and charges dismissed in the death of Odin Lloyd.

Terrible loophole IMO

Re: Aaron Hernandez Saga

I don't know if it's a loophole, it's always been a set precedent.

This just has a much different impact due to the estate.

Normally it just happens to people that were already sentenced to life with no estate so we just don't hear about it.

It's far from over though. There will be wrongful death suits filed against the estate.

Re: Aaron Hernandez Saga

Apparently there's a line of thought that the Patriots will be on the hook for the remainder of Hernandez's guaranteed salary (about $6.4M) with the criminal murder conviction now vacated.

Now, whether his estate actually sees that money after all the civil suits to surely follow is another story, but it's one more turn in a bizarre and unfortunate story.

Espn said it's highly unlikely considering the contract had a morals clause and it doesn't necessarily have to be murder he is guilty of to negate them having to pay.

Re: Aaron Hernandez Saga

His estate will have lawyers coming out of the woodwork to take this suit (if his current lawyer isn't a already on the case). They will all want a chunk of that money.

Are they gonna go with the narrative that big bad evil football turned this otherwise-innocent guy into a multiple time murderous piece of ****?

Sue who? NFL? NCAA? Pee Wees? No way they can prove one entity is responsible.

The suit is against the NFL and the Patriots per the link in the post you quoted.

Re: Aaron Hernandez Saga

Yeah, blaming football for the CTE, but only the NFL and not the Gators or his HS career for it.

Though, I'd think they'd have to prove they forced him onto the field after concussion(s) and/or somehow rope it into the larger CTE discussion for this to go very far. I don't think 'he played in the NFL, check please' really works, so interested to see how they form the argument.

Just pick the one with the most money obviously. It's really this simple though....his parents are to blame for years 1-18 and after that it's all on the murderer himself. Nobody forced him to play football.
