If the Dolphins grab him they could really be in good shape for the future when you consider all the first rounders they have and the way they played down the stretch. Getting him and grabbing Tua or another good prospect and letting them sit for a year or two, plus some wise drafting with the other picks and they (it pains me to say) could be pretty good in a few years.

Definitely more sense if he wants a shot at the SB before quitting. Indy is a hell of a lot closer at this point than the Phins.

In a parallel universe the Bills are preparing to face the Titans at New Era. I have sent the wife to her mother's and am sitting in my underwear with a bucket of wings on one side and several beers on the other.
Still looking forward to the first game though. The NFC one, not so much. But I love the clash of styles we'll see with KC and the Titans.

The thing that struck me about his story is how the hell did they try to push the narrative that he became a homicidal maniac from concussion syndrome. This guy was emotionally constructed to be a violent predator by the domestically abusive father and the frustration of being a closeted homosexual. Throw in the entitled, above the law attitude that hometown football stars have , that gets supercharged by making it all the way to the pros. I'm disappointed that the iconic coaches at Florida and the Patriots cared more about his football skills than his obvious breakdown of behavior to live in civilized society.
Yep. The reason I brought up video games before is because some kids are just wired that way. They have no empathy and are able to kill animals, then move on to humans when they're older. Yes, they played violent video games, but they would have done that sort of stuff without them. You may as well blame consumer culture for their acts, or eating fast food or any other number of the thousands of things every other kid does.
I think it's the same thing with CTE. Hernandez was wired to be a sociopath. That's just the way he was.

It ALL boils down to decision making. When a person with no criminal record who made it that far in life without totally derailing...suddenly changes course and starts making decision after decision that are both irrational and illogical, you have to consider it isn't "just happening." Even the bottom of the food chain low life's make smarter decisions. These guys were no dumb guys who had no common sense.
Not every case is CTE, but because that's the case it's ignorant to act like no case is CTE. These extreme cases, in Hernandez's case PROVEN to be an EXTREME case of CTE, acknowledge it was a contributing factor. AB was always an arrogrant self entitled POS. But now he is CLEARLY a person with a mental issue that popped out of nowhere. IMO it was the hit from Burfict that did him in.
With AB it could be so many other things. What about the extreme fame, coupled with the millions of dollars. He may have started associating with a different type of person. Plenty of rock stars are relatively normal before they hit the big time, then go crazy. Is it always the drugs? What about the ones that don't do drugs? Often it's lots of smaller things that alter someone's behavior.
I'm not saying CTE doesn't have an effect on people, of course it does, I'm just starting to see it get blamed every time an NFL player acts like a piece of ***** by beating up his kids or assaulting his wife.
OBJ seems to have gotten worse over the years. Must be CTE.
And with Hernandez - I get that CTE can effect people's judgement etc. but does it effect their ability to feel guilt or show remorse? Because I saw none of that with him. And I get that it can make a person go into a rage on a spur of the moment thing, but does it also make you more likely to plan a murder some time in advance?

Comparing kids and video games to an actual medical condition that has to do with brain damage is really foolish.
not much else to say on the matter.... Just that that’s really dumb comparison.
So why aren't all these other NFL players going beserk on other people?
It amounts to the same thing - shifting the responsibility away from the criminal (or the parents) and onto something else. Everyone is a victim now, even the poor little murderer. Bless his size 13 cotton socks.

I'd like to see KC win but am put off by the fact that we'll get another 1000 threads about how we should have drafted Mahomes

I watched the series and I do have sympathy for the environment Hernandez grew up in, but it just seems to me that CTE may only have exasperated his violent tendencies that already existed and he may have gone down this road anyways. I feel although his father's opinion on homosexuality created a extremely difficult home environment for Aaron, if his father had made it a few more years, Aaron would be alive today.
Edit: Meant to say Aaron may be alive today.
Yeah, I'm getting sick of CTE being blamed for evey player or ex player who acts like an animal. It's like when a kid does something evil and they blame the movies or video games. What about the millions of kids who watch that stuff and don't go around murdering and raping?
So every time a player or ex player beats his kids or punches his wife or shoots his friend, we can blame all the concussions he suffered. Same with boxers. Same with hockey players.
Hernandez was a young man who had it all, the taken, the loving wife, beautiful kid, huge home, and yet it's clear from the video evidence that he felt no remorse for his victims. All those phone calls he never showed any regret for what he did. That is the behavior of a true sociopath. I'm sick of turning all the criminals into victims, so ***** him

Imagine if the cop was female? He'd have been executed by now

NOTE: After reading the article, this is kind of like a Timmah Graham article; reporting something that happens every year, however, but in a manner that suggests something different is happening when there is no proof.
"It would appear to be, by those who are in the know, that it has been cleaned out in way that perhaps it has never has been cleaned out before."
So ridiculous.
Hmmm,I think the only thing that's different from all the rest is that this time he took his Tampons with him

Wow, imagine being in Romo's shoes. Going to get paid millions of dollars to travel around the country and watch football games. Lucky guy. Can't begrudge him though, he's great

LOL at Romo's Rocky quote "He's getting mad!"
The guy is just brilliant

Holy Christ Almighty.
Texans fans must be puking

I swear, they just showed a shot of the KC fans going nuts after the TD and it looked just like The Ralph back during the Comeback. I could almost hear Van Miller shouting "do you believe it?"
Imagine if Houston lose this after all those Oiler losses, hahaha

Man, Houston falling apart. I feel like I'm watching the Oilers...

This is great. Houston fans will be calling for Bill's balls if KC score a TD after that fake punt

Who wants a fun read to go with the game?

"The Texans played like ass against an idiot at QB... They're playing against a healthy Mahomes this time who has a photographic memory..."

Oh my God. Reid puts Hill in as a desperate move to return punts, he fumbles and gives the Texans a shot at 21-0.
Reid is incredible, such a good coach but just continually goes to pieces in the playoffs.

Really enjoying this titans run in the playoffs. I enjoy rooting for the underdog. Tannehill in the afc championship game though, who woulda thought lol
also weird that if we win that game last week we'd be playing for the right to host the AFC championship game. Imagine how pumped everyone would be

A few more fun predictions from Ravens fans:
"I’m going with our defense shutting down the not ready for prime time Titans...
Ravens 38
Titans 3""NOT CLOSE - Ravens by +17"
"no shot in hell Titans come to Baltimore and leave with the upset."
"With Ryan Tannehill playing it will make the Ravens think they are playing the Dolphins and the last three times the Ravens played the Dolphins, they have all been blowouts, so naturally the Ravens are going to beat the breaks off the Dolphins (Titans) to the tune of 49-3."
"This will be a blowout from start to finish, Titans are not prepared for Hurricane Lamar that is about to rock them at M&T!! May even see RG III late in the 4th
Ravens 35
Titans 10"(Hurricane Lamar turned out to be a gust of wind about as powerful as one of my wet farts)

Check this out, so funny when fans cross the line into pure over-confidence:
This prediction made me laugh:
"46-13, RG3 closes it out. We’re a better team in all areas. Henry is good, we have the #1 rushing offense."
Have to say, of all the opposing teams' forums I've checked out this season, the one with the most level headed fans is the Texans one. They're a bit like Bills fans, even when things are going well they still expect the worst to happen.

Yeah, I mean with the addition of having Rivers as a mentor to their new rookie QB and not having to rush him onto the field. They could do a Mahomes with him which very few teams do these days with highly drafted QBs
