I like the bird man. I'm thinking about the face tat.
It doesnt reflect at all, unless he had something to do with it. Should get some action on the message boards, thats all
I think BF was covering up all of Aaron's previous murders.

His twitter seems focused on Iowa football and his job here. I have no problem with him. I liked his fire during the open practice. If all of us where judged by our families actions , we would all be considered terrible people.

I just hope the media, and others, leave him be. He's not at fault here.

Yeah Im sure it will. Professional athletes, especially NFL stars, are charged with murder all the time.
They are a dime a dozen, this will all be forgotten now by the media.

It's more than the media in this case. Even if the media totally ignore the story (they won't), having a brother facing murder charges would be a huge deal to just about anyone. Maybe it won't affect his job performance, but I'm sure it's still a major thing in the back of his mind.

Especially young stars like Hernandez who are just entering their glory days in the NFL. At least Rae Carruth had the good sense to go bonkers after he was washed up.
ESPN loves to fill the summer sports lull with filler crap like "which town it Titletown USA?", so I am sure they have already booked all the airtime for the whole summer. Then when NFL Training Camp and College Fall Camp starts its nonstop football news. So it looks like this won't get any run a week from now.

Invincible and like so many pampered athletes who've always had everything handed to them, I'm guessing above the law. It's unfortunate that despite the money and the fame these individuals make, many of them cannot use college or their profession to escape the lifestyle that they had as children. What's the phrase? You can take the player out of the hood, but you can't take the hood out of the player. It's very sad.
This is right on the money. So many of these NFL players (and other pro sports) fit a very dangerous archetype - rough upbringings with a severe shortage of positive role models + the "invincibility" that comes along with being a world-class athlete = an increased propensity for risk taking behavior.
Unfortunately, the money in many cases simply amplifies this propensity. You hear how much money these guys make and it's easy to forget they haven't come by it by making shrewd real estate deals, or managing a Fortune 500 company, or inventing a new search engine. They came by it because they are really big and really fast. Not to say this precludes them from being pretty smart dudes as well (in many cases), but all of a sudden having a bunch of money dumped in your lap doesn't magically make your rough upbringing disappear.
It's all very sad when these scenarios end with someone getting hurt or killed.

I think the fact that football is such a "violent" sport doesn't help either. These players are coached to be "mean and physical" and it's not something that I, think, can simply be turned off or controlled the moment they step off the field. Not saying that all players have this problem or trying to go to a darker side of the sport, but the fact is that these players got to where they are because they were tougher and more physical then their opponents. I don't think any of these guys are lacking anything in the ego/testosterone department and as we all know that isn't always a good thing.

I don't believe it has anything to do with him feeling invincible as if he lost all inhibitions in a euphoric moment of omnipotence.
He killed guy and has to suffer the consequences. It doesn't matter why he did it, blame upbringing or fame or whatever you want. He is an adult, presumably of sound mind, who made a decision that was in violation of the law. He will be going to prison for a long time.
