I've seen a few articles that say his lawyer actually withdrew the suit after discovering an error. Don't know if that's true. Don't know if any of this is true. Sure is a weird story, though.

Ya know, this story never gets interesting. But the one about Hernandez does. Everyone's seen the latest I take it? That he was sued last month for shooting someone in the face. In his car. The case was thrown out for some reason, but it's being refiled. Apparently T&R doesn't want to get into that story, but it's far more relevant than most of the stuff they post.

"The timing of his return to football will depend on how much partying he does with Playboy Bunnies and Hollywood starlets. In other words, Mr. Gronkowski is announcing his retirement."

Can't argue with the offensive moves last year.

Even if he sucked he'd be the starter by default.

That's what they're saying, though. "Cooperative" is a tricky word. If Hernandez called his agent or the team, they would have immediately told him to get a lawyer over there. And that would constitute being "uncooperative" in cop/mediaspeak. I didn't kill the dude, either, but if the cops show up to ask me a lot of questions about it I will lawyer up. You'd be crazy not to, with the dodgy way some of these investigations are carried out.

Just read an interesting thing. Just a voice of reason in the New England media.

"...the phrase "uncooperative" when describing someone mentioned in a homicide investigation can mean many things. To wit: uncooperative could mean Hernandez hired a lawyer. It could mean he didn't let police search his home without a warrant. It could mean he's stonewalling them. It could mean lots of things.

So could "not been ruled out as a suspect" -- that phrase sounds like "considered a suspect" to many people. But it simply means Hernandez, because of his proximity to the victim and his name on a rental car cannot be considered not a suspect at this time.

Having said all of that, none of this is great news for Hernandez. Being questioned in a homicide case generally never is.

Being reported as "uncooperative" while questioned in a homicide case and then reportedly deemed "not ruled out as a suspect" ... these are phrases we hear on CSI: Miami and Law & Order right before the cops catch the person responsible for the crime. But that's not real life.

Just remember that when you hear stuff like this being spun out there."

It's neither a joke or a story.

So irrelevant the interns couldn't find a picture of him.

"We can show them how hard we work and how great the NFL is."

Let's see, the Jags will lose by 20 or 30 points every time, their offense will amount to three and out again and again, and the team will be as uninspired there as they are here. Yeah, those Londoners are in for a treat. They'll be hooked in no time. Pardon me, I meant [i]at[/i] no time.

I just read an article that said he was uncooperative at first, then changed his mind and cooperated. Maybe he was protecting a friend until the cops convinced him of the seriousness of the his situation.

Followed by the ever popular Rehabing Miles.

Was it his father's dream that he should one day be a pouting, whining distraction to an NFL team?

Yeah, talk about a mental hurdle. It'd be very hard not to have it in mind out there on the field.

If the last 35 years weren't enough to do the trick, how the hell did Chad finally attain self-awareness in seven days? The honest statement would have been "I'll say anything you want, just don't send me back there! My butt hurts!"

And since he'd already said he could kill a man with that ring, I would have walked away, too.

To quote Tommy Smothers, "Curb your tongue, knave"!

Sincerely,
Everyone in Seattle and San Francisco. Well, almost everyone.

I'm sure this massive distraction is exactly what the Bengals need.

Is it wrong to wish your hometown guys would shut the **** up and just play football already?

"I could kill someone with this ring", the former KGB leader said as he turned to go do so.

Damn right. Of course the sexist element among the fans ("lots and lots and lots" is the official number, I believe) will scream about every mistake she makes, not noticing (or caring to notice) the male officials are making them too.
