They most certainly will when they realize Aaron has the $$$ to hire the best attorneys etc.

I understand the sentiment and agree with you for the most part. However, you can't say that about all athletes. There are SOME athletes who make great role models. Particularly the ones who excel at their sport more as a result of dedication and hard work instead of simply being able to rely on natural, God given talent.

Take Ray Allen for example. He'll be in the NBA Hall of Fame some day and will forever be remembered for his shooting ability and his clutchness. He himself said that God doesn't care if he can hit a jump shot. His success comes from preparation, dedication, and repetition...all great qualities for a kid to emulate. Hours in the gym, shooting over and over and over again from every spot on the court and at every possible angle. Even practicing unique shots like off balance ones over and over and over again until every situation becomes familiar and natural.

Those types of guys may be rare, but I have no problem with my kids looking up to them as role models.

The ones I really feel bad for are the fans whose kids have a Hernandez shirt. I don't know if mine do, but I'm going to look and if they do I'm going to trash them, even if only as a life lesson for the boys.

Don't trash them until it's over, but put them away where they can't get'em.

Supposedly when this guy was a rookie he threatened Welker with a beating for not teaching him how to use the video machine.

You are incorrect for obstruction in a murder :shake:

They are role models for their performance on the field, not behavior off of it.

Per @richholl -- our @nflnetwork reporter on the scene -- state police have just entered Aaron Hernandez's house with a warrant.

Truth or are you being funny and I just don't get it?

I think I found the statute he could be charged under for Obstruction.

MGLA 268 §§ 13B(1)(c)(iii)-(v)

It takes some digging, but eventually you get to: Anyone who intentionally misleads a law enforcement officer can be imprisoned in the state pen for a period not exceeding 10 years.

It's a poorly titled statute, but it's the nearest I can find in the Mass. General Laws to a true Obstruction charge, as you would see under Federal law (like USSG 3c1.1).

So yeah, if prosecutors up there really want to hang Hernandez over this, my first read of the statute says they probably could.

They should. Or at least fully intend to unless he cooperates.

Funny how none of this was reported before.

Next they'll tell us how Hernadez partied with the Boston Marathon terrorist

You should also teach them about the justice system and how people are innocent until proven guilty.

I don't think this is something that's a big deal on it's own, but when you add in all the other stuff...it speaks to his character. He was probably just frustrated when he made those comments to Welker.
