Aaron Hernandez choose a thug's life. Although his father died when he was sixteen, he grew up in a fairly middle class home. Bristol Connecticut is not exactly a hell hole. He became infatuated with thuggery. He shot and killed unarmed people. His suicde is a final act of cowardice. The discussion here is an interesting one from the existential, to the theological, with a hint of conspiracy.

You forgot Terry is spleenless!

The jury is still out on some guy's on that list, but success rate is between 40% to 50%. Probably higher than all other rounds combined. Not sure if that means anything.

I probably wouldn't hate your notes, I have found your observations to be fairly astute. Marrone not so much.

Marrone finds odd ways to state things. Instead of just saying the usual coach cliche like "work on fundamentals", he comes up with rebuild foundation. Just weird, it's like he's trying to sound smart.

Except that his father is now Bills DBs coach.

If the Bills don't pick up his option, that would indicate that Whaley is done.

I lived in NYC in 1970s and 80s, used to root for the Giants until SB XXV. Haven't been able to ever since.

Yup

Yes I think it fair to criticize them for the hire, but at least they didn't let ego get in the way of correcting the mistake.

Yup

Exactly, I never understood all the uproar over that press conference. Wasn't it obvious why Ryan got fired?

I agree, that being said I'm still intrigued by Howard. He seems to be kind of a hybrid TE WR.

I'm a little afraid of those two guys. Can't say I paid that much attention to them.

I think there will be two or three DBs off the board before 10. Are there any LBs worth taking at 10? Im starting to warm up to the idea of Howard.

I remember going to the Old Rock Pile with my father, he had season tickets. He once paid two kids to park in a driveway. Turns out it wasn't their driveway. After the game a very angry woman greeted us. Makes me laugh every time I think of it.

This just in, Vic liked Ralph better than Terry, because he listened to his four year old daughter dressed as a cow girl. More evidence of the disfuction at One Bills Drive.

I knew it! I now feel somewhat vindicated.

I ran into Ralph in a hotel lobby in Palm Beach twenty years ago. I told him I was a Bills fan, he stopped and talked about the team for about ten minutes. He didn't have to do that. His face lit up talking about the Bills.

My prediction is that this will be a disaster on multiple fronts. The Raiders will become just another Vegas show. No loyal fan base. That City will be a huge distraction for young players. Remember the NBA All Star game? I predict an eventual move back again.

Can we just change the site to "Ten Mahomes Drive"?

Except every year a couple of teams fire their GM at the end of the season. Is it your contention that it's ok to fire the guy in January but no later?

I'm still confused, if the new HC and ownership has decided to move on from Whaley wouldn't that by definition mean they have lost confidence in his judgment? Why then would they want him involved in decisions on who to draft?

I'm confused by this whole thing. If Whaley was going to be fired why wait? Fire him at the same time as Rex. Whaley has to have some idea of where he stands with the Pegulas. They don't strike me as the kind of people that would keep him around to torture him. If Whaley even suspected he was going to be out he would already be gone.

What is the criteria for FBI involvement? Why was this not a Houston PD investigation?
