Aaron Hernandez Saga Continues...

Former Florida Gator and New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez' saga continues after he was indicted for a double homicide from 2012.

Hernandez was first indicted for the murder of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd last August. Hernandez was arrested shortly after Lloyd's body was found a few miles from Hernandez' home and his story has exploded thru the media since.

After being incarcerated his story slowly unfolded showing a side of him that nobody expected. That side of his life involves the killing of three people within a year and a half span.

He was linked to a double homicide that took place in 2012 in which the victims Daniel De Abreu and Safiro Furtado were shot to death in their car after leaving a nightclub in Boston.

Hernandez was still playing for the New England Patriots at that point in time and had signed a 5-year $40 million extension just weeks after the murder.

District Attorney Daniel Conley said the investigation of the Boston killings moved forward after the Lloyd case, which will be tried separately. Conley said the case blew itself open after the discovery of the car used during the night of the murders and the recovery of the alleged murder weapon from an anonymous person with ties to Hernandez.

The entire Hernandez story is almost too hard to believe, but the more information that comes from the investigation, the more it sheds a light on the real person Aaron Hernandez could possibly be, if he is found guilty.

As for his charges in the double homicide case, Hernandez is being charged with two counts of first degree murder and three counts of armed assault with intent to murder, oh and a little unlawful possession of a firearm just to top it off.

That list doesn't even include his charges for the Lloyd murder!

Both of Hernandez murder cases will be tried separately although it is believed that Lloyd's murder stemmed from the double homicide that took place a year earlier.

Odin Lloyd, who was dating Hernandez wife's sister at the time, reportedly was talking with people Hernandez was not on good terms with at a nightclub. It was said that the people Lloyd was associating with had connections to the victims of the double homicide and that he was possibly spilling the beans on Hernandez and his involvement.

That is what caused Hernandez to retaliate. Hernandez then called two of his friends from his hometown in Connecticut and asked that they come right away to Hernandez' home in North Attleborough, a suburb outside of Boston.

After Hernandez friends arrived they went to pick up Lloyd, who was texting his sister and informing her who he was with. Lloyd supposedly sent his sister the messages because he knew Hernandez was upset about who Lloyd was associating with at the nightclub earlier that evening and wasn't feeling completely safe about the situation.

After Lloyd got in Hernandez vehicle they drove off to a construction site only a couple miles from Hernandez' home. That is where Odin Lloyd was shot to death. His body left at the construction site.

This is still the United States of America and all inmates are innocent until proven guilty but the legal system is so bad off right now that this case could honestly swing either way.

Aaron Hernandez being a minority with a slew of tattoos may work against him in this case, as it does in most cases, and they could end up throwing the book at him and lock him away for a very long time. Or he could be acquitted of the murder and carry on with his life, outside of the NFL of course.

I have seen crazier situations where someone is guilty and set free anyway (Casey Anthony, George Zimmerman, OJ) so I won't be surprised with either scenario.

Aaron Hernandez saga continues throughout the summer and you can be sure you will hear about it again.

49ers Leading Another Unlawful Offseason For The NFL

We haven't even made it to the NFL Draft and already the 49ers are leading the way in this year's annual NFL offseason "Law Breakers" competition.

I mean that sarcastically, but I wouldn't bet against it not being a competition with the way NFL players are racking up police records every offseason.

We are now accustomed to seeing an NFL player making bad choices and being plastered all over SportsCenter. This year seems to be no different than recent year's past and the San Francisco 49ers are looking to lead the way in this year's offseason class.

New England Patriots former tight end Aaron Hernandez ran away with the biggest arrest of the offseason last year when he was arrested in connection to the death of Odin Lloyd. Well Aaron I know you probably won't be able to read this where you're at, but no need to worry about your trial stealing headlines this summer. 

This year, the 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith has decided to move ahead of the pack when he was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport over the weekend. Smith was arrested for indicating he had a bomb when TSA had randomly selected him for secondary screening. He posted $20,000 bail and was released shortly after.

He hasn't been the only 49er to make it into police records this offseason. Just last week 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick was linked to a police report out of Miami that included Quinton Patton and former 49er and current Seattle Seahawk Ricardo Lockette.

Even ESPN has their methods of persuading someone to believe a player may be guilty with the way the represented Colin when they referred to the incident. ESPN usually uses a player’s team photo when they are talking about them but with the Kaepernick news, the producers at ESPN used a photo of him wearing his hat backwards and to the side with headphones, mildly hinting a "Thug" look. Now one might not first think anything of the photo but they are showing him in a bad light when so many people already are quick to judge the QB based off of his tattoos and the way he dresses.

The truth surrounding this incident is slowly making its way through the media and it seems like no convictions will be made to any NFL player.

Oh but that's not all for the 49ers. I know by now you have to be thinking theirs no way that the 49ers let another one of their players have a run-in with the law. Well it happened. 49ers Cornerback Chris Culliver just pleaded not guilty to a hit-and-run incident and felony possession of brass knuckles for an incident that occurred late last month.

The drama is far from over in San Francisco, with a lot of information still unknown at this point. I wouldn't suggest you rush to an opinion on any of these matters until they have been convicted but this has to same something about the 49ers organization and their handle on things.

A majority of the players who end up having a run-in with the law during the offseason usually tend to have had some talk about their behavioral issues before they were drafted including Aaron Hernandez and Aldon Smith.

What should matter to the 49ers management most is why they are having so many behavioral issues with their players? I know people get caught up in situations where they are just in the wrong place at the wrong time, but you also have to take accountability for yourself with these situations.

The 49ers have acknowledged each players incident but will not speak further until each issue is resolved.

Is this what we should expect from the NFL and its players? There are a lot of kids who grow up watching football and this is the message that the NFL is sending to them. Aldon Smith can miss five games because he was in rehab at the beginning of last season and within 6 weeks of being back is pulled over and found with assault rifles and marijuana, and maybe the most mind boggling part is that his coach, John Harbaugh, let him suit up for the next game that was about three days after his arrest.

After Harbaugh's speech regarding the Seahawks and their off-the-field problems from last season when he said, "We want to be above reproach in everything and do everything by the rules. Because if you don’t, if you cheat to win, then you’ve already lost, according to Bo Schembechler (His former coach at Michigan). And Bo Schembechler is about next to the word of God as you can get in my mind. It’s not the word of God, but its close.”

Now it looks like Harbaugh needs to point all that attention he was giving the Seahawks last offseason to his team this year around.

The NFL's bad boy reputation is exceeding itself once again this offseason and doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon. For a record of arrests check out this link I found, it’s missing the most recent but the size of it alone is incredible.

Is this picture what we should expect NFL players to look like?
