June is a slow month for football. It hasn’t been a slow month for a certain football player’s lawyers.

According to TMZ, Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was sued last week in a Florida federal court for allegedly shooting someone in the face.

The lawsuit, filed by Alexander S. Bradley, claims that Hernandez shot Bradley on February 13, 2013 while the two men were riding in a car. Bradley allegedly lost his right eye as a result of the incident, along with other injuries.

Per TMZ, the case was dismissed only four days after it was filed. Since it’s highly unlikely that any action was taken on the case that quickly, there’s a chance the case was settled.

Hernandez would have been much smarter to settle the case before it was filed. Between the lawsuit and the investigation in Massachusetts, Hernandez is now more likely to attract the attention of the league office, which is more apt to apply the enforce the personal-conduct policy when a player is involved in multiple off-field incidents.

That's awful. I hope the victim got a huge settlement.

How does Hernandez have that massive house and the money to pay people off after shooting them in the face?

He was only a fourth round pick and TMK is still playing on his rookie deal.

Police reportedly spent hours inside Aaron Hernandez's home Tuesday night and emerged with a box.
There's still no sign that Hernandez is a suspect in the murder investigation, but he has consulted with a lawyer. It's possible that the box police removed from his home was evidence. The Patriots, NFL, district attorney's office and Hernandez's agents have all declined comment, leaving the public in the dark as to exactly what is going on. We only know that a 27-year-old male body of an "associate" of Hernandez's was found in the vicinity of a rental car connected to the tight end roughly a mile from his home. Jun 19 - 8:54 AM

Nevermind...he signed an extension last year...

8/27/2012: Signed a seven-year, $41.115 million contract. The deal contains $16.4 million guaranteed, including a $12.5 million signing bonus. An annual $500,000 roster bonus is due in years four through seven. An annual $500,000 workout bonus is available in years three through seven. 2013: $1.323 million, 2014: $1.2 million, 2015: $2.3 million, 2016: $5 million, 2017-2018: $6 million, 2019: Free Agent

He signed an extension during the 2012 season for up to $41 million.

The family of homicide victim Odin Lloyd tells WBZ-TV that Lloyd dated the sister of Aaron Hernandez's girlfriend.

The pieces of the puzzle are starting to come together. Lloyd's body was found roughly a mile from Hernandez's home, in the vicinity of a rental car connected to the tight end. WBZ-TV is reporting that Hernandez has not been ruled out as a suspect, but ABC says the tight end did cooperate with police Tuesday night.

He left his house in a white SUV Wednesday morning, presumably with his lawyers. A search warrant of the rental car is expected to be executed Wednesday. Jun 19 - 12:25 PM

Goes to show that its very likely that part of why teams didn't want to draft him high might have been how his life may change when he gets a boatload of money.

Not even 6 months after getting PAID, he shoots a guy in the face and a few months later he is involved in a murder.

How in the Blue **** did the other "shooting" go unreported?

You'd be surprised.

Have you read the Cowboys book? The story about Michael Irvin in there was amazing.

ESPN should have shot their wad on a story about a Pats "star".

And piss all over one of their cash cows? Are you kidding?

Scott dodged a bullet with this guy.

Apparently the get-away vehicle of choice for NFL players.
