Feeding into the whole notion that NFL Network Ocho AKA ESPN only cares about the NFL above all else, I was peeved when a good weekend of baseball, and hell even basketball was derailed by the frantic news of known asshole and murderer, Aaron Hernandez\u2019s death.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now I\u2019m not going to pretend like I\u2019ve bothered to go in-depth into all the details, because when the day is over, I couldn\u2019t possibly give two shits about Aaron Hernandez, and at a first blush situation, I think it\u2019s better that he\u2019s dead, because he\u2019s one less deadbeat that the country and its tax payers have to worry about sustaining inside of a prison, where he serves absolutely no purpose or benefit to the rest of the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

My first thoughts were that since the death happened pretty quickly after he was somehow acquitted of the double-homicide charge that he was partially in prison for in the first place, I figured some prison guards or rogue law enforcement basically beat the guy to death, made it look like a suicide and called it a day, to prevent the guy from actually getting out of incarceration.<\/span><\/p>\n

But this is a case where not knowing all the facts makes me look foolish, because although he was acquitted of the double-homicide, he was still going to be serving the rest of his life sentence for the supposed single-homicide that he was also accused of.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So this is where the interesting part of the story unfolds, because ultimately if such is actually the case then Aaron Hernandez kind of went out as not quite as big of a piece of shit who probably still is a murderer, but is a murderer who really, really loves his family and wants them to be well off, even if it means killing himself.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the way things are unfolding, the story goes as such: While charged, Hernandez was in violation of his last contract with the New England Patriots, and was no longer getting paid the guaranteed money that he would have been owed had he not murdered a bunch of people.\u00a0 But when he was acquitted of double, and was in an appeal status on the single, it created a scenario where his record was still clean, and could be argued that he was still due money.\u00a0 And when he allegedly killed himself, due to a discreet and obscure legal loophole, any appealed charge where the accused dies in middle of the appeal, is basically stricken from the books.<\/span><\/p>\n

So upon Aaron Hernandez\u2019s death, he died a man with no charges against him, and by standard next-of-kin laws, his beneficiaries should be due nearly $3.5 million dollars<\/a> from the New England Patriots that he should have received as a free man.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the thing though, the Patriots will undoubtedly argue this, and justifiably so, because why should any former employer pay a former employee who happened to kill people\u2019s family money when the scumbag died?\u00a0 But the problem for the Patriots is that this is now a story that has caught some momentum, and since an innocent child is involved, as being beneficiary to Hernandez\u2019s assets, they\u2019re put in a no-win situation where doing what\u2019s right is a PR disaster for the organization, or they give into the terrorists and give up money that they don\u2019t have any obligation to give up.<\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t really know how to feel about this situation as a whole.\u00a0 I don\u2019t have any empathy for a murderer killing himself in prison.\u00a0 But the perceived motives for killing himself definitely have a noble cause, because as a man, why wouldn\u2019t he want to make sure his children are taken care of?\u00a0 It\u2019s cerebral and almost respectable, and almost salvages a tiny bit of humanity from a person who is accused to have none.\u00a0 At first blush, I want to take the side of the Patriots, because I don\u2019t think they should have to fork over a single dime to anyone, because they\u2019re not the ones who killed anyone (directly), but the problem is that they\u2019ve been thrust into the spotlight as a wealthy organization who may or may not deny money to an innocent child.<\/span><\/p>\n

I like that someone is sticking it to the NFL and one of its Oprah-rich organizations, but I don\u2019t like that that someone is a murderer.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know whose side to take in this one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ultimately, I bet that the Patriots will of course appeal and fight the good fight to not have to pay Aaron Hernandez\u2019s remaining salary to anyone, but in an attempt to mitigate the PR backlash, they\u2019ll set up a college fund or some sort of charity for his surviving family, and ultimately still give up money that they really shouldn\u2019t be responsible for paying.<\/span><\/p>\n

But damn if Hernandez\u2019s Hail Mary to take care of his family isn\u2019t something.\u00a0 Screwing the Patriots all the way to the grave.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
