That Chris Everett sure was a badass. I wonder if he has ties to a gang? He's just so violent. Has he ever met Urban Meyer? Urban should have done more to nip this type of stuff in the bud.....

People may have known that Hernandez had poor character and a bad temper. When he was at Florida, Urban used to invite him over for bible study. He reached his hand out time and time again. If anything, Urban did all that he could to lead Hernandez away from behavior that might lead him into this kind of trouble.

What did people want from Urban? To have kicked Hernandez off the team and back to Connecticut with the same crowd he now famously hangs out with now? Would that have made him LESS LIKELY to engage in a gang lifestyle?

First off, the whole blame UM for what Hernandez became is bullshit. That being said, that doesn't mean that the Florida program did not have problems.

Kicking him off the team and out of school would not have changed his path in any way, but it would have conclusively removed the possibility of his preying on regular students or embarrassing the university in any manner. And I think it can be argued pretty conclusively that keeping him around certainly didn't change him for the better.

Also, forgive me for laughing out loud at the notion that some one-on-one bible time was going to have any impact on a sociopathic thug like Hernandez.

The reality is that Meyer's Florida program did have serious off-field issues. I want to believe that--and the competitive need to both recruit and keep around characters such as Hernandez--led Meyer to get the fuck out of the SEC. As far as I'm concerned he has a clean slate at Ohio State, and I'm not going to prejudge him based on what went on at Florida. His Utah teams seemed pretty above board in terms of character. It doesn't mean that I'm going to whitewash history and refuse to believe that some crazy shit went on in that program.

1. Who gives a [censored] what Jim Rome wants?
2. What relevance does bible study have on this whole thing? Is Hernandez the first person ever to be charged with murder while having some religious studies or involvement in his life? Far from it.
3. Like Urban could possibly have answer to that..... It's not like Hernandez was living under Urban's roof at the time of the murder(s). Did anyone go back and criticize Frank Beamer when the whole Vick/dogfighting thing broke?
4. Who gives a [censored] what Jim Rome wants?

I don't care what Rome wants. Screw him, but the media being the media, they have the ability to make your life tolerable or miserable.

It's a catch-22. If he stays silent, they will write stories about what his silence means. If he says anything, it will be dissected and analyzed 1000 ways - and then they will write about what they think it means. Maybe he should talk to Coach Tress. JT mastered the art of talking for chunks of time without saying anything. :)

But I do believe that he will have to say something brief but very thoughtful sometime in the next few weeks. Otherwise, it will become a distraction. Eventually, Ohio State players will get asked what they think about it and on and on. Better to give the media something on your terms than have them attacking you for giving them nothing. What's the old saying? Don't pick fights with people who buy ink by the barrel.

And why was TT in a bar at 19?

I only know this because we have the same birthday (different years).

I hate Tebow as much as anyone, but I've been to The Swamp several times and it's more of a restaurant than a bar.....no ID required to get in.

Cops: Evidence found in 'flop house'

Court documents indicate the search of a secret "flop house" leased by former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez has turned up what police say could be key evidence in the murder case against him.

Search warrants records indicate that police searching the Franklin, Mass., condominium Hernandez had rented found the same caliber ammunition used in Lloyd's slaying and a white hooded sweatshirt similar to what Hernandez was allegedly wearing that night Odin Lloyd was killed.

Authorities also found a cranberry-colored cap with "society" written backward in white lettering, similar to one Hernandez was seen wearing outside a nightclub in Boston on June 14. Video of Hernandez wearing the cap was shown on WHDH-TV in Boston, according to court records.

A state trooper wrote that the clothing could help place Hernandez at the crime scene and establish his location before the killing.

Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson, meanwhile, reiterated on Wednesday that he won't allow Hernandez to marry his fianc?e while he is jailed on his murder charge.

"We're not going to revamp our entire security system to perform marriages inside our prison. If you want to get married, what you do is, you stay out of jail," he told the NFL Network on Wednesday in an interview with the "NFL AM" show, adding he's taken away many privileges from inmates, such as weights, televisions in cells and coffee.

“We're not going to revamp our entire security system to perform marriages inside our prison. If you want to get married, what you do is, you stay out of jail.”
-- Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson

By law, Hernandez's fianc?e, Shayanna Jenkins, who is also the mother of his 7-month-old daughter, would not have to testify against the former New England Patriots tight end if they were married. Prosecutors said last week that investigators had been speaking with Jenkins until she received a telephone call from Hernandez telling her to stop talking to authorities.
