Counterpoint:

Not to mention, if he'd gone emotional, Deadspin would be all over Simmons for letting his homerism come before his professional objectivity.

They're the same kinds of people who take to Twitter and say things like, "The fact that Aaron Hernandez murdered someone just makes him 100x more sexy."

Thought you might find this interesting. Granted, the source is Dennis & Callahan but still:

I'm guessing that, unlike the Social Register, you'll be hard-pressed to find an official directory for the Latin Kings. Maybe membership is coded in all those hideous tats covering Hernandez' body.

Here ya go!

JamesInCambridge did, and hoo, did the trolls come at him for that.

I take it you haven't listened to many B.S. Report podcasts. Simmons doesn't think like that.

He is alleged to have done so, and likely to at least be charged with obstruction of justice. Destroying your home security system and cell phone during the course of a criminal investigation related to your activities is textbook obstruction of justice.

No, the Fifth Amendment gives you the right to remain silent (including as a witness against yourself during a criminal trial). Not the right to destroy evidence and obstruct justice during a criminal investigation.

Nice catch!

Another commenter found what may be the guy's Twitter account - looks like he runs a specialty business of vegan animal products (errrr... pet food that is vegan?) and the jersey is just a bit of self-promotion. No harm, no foul in my mind.

Hey, when you're trolling for hits, it's six on one hand, half a dozen on the other.

Keeping my cards close to the chest on that question.

I like the way you think.

Was it one of those "it's five a.m. but it's five *p.m.* somewhere else" thoughts? ;)

Shock is an obvious candidate but if I were to look at a dark horse? Congressman Mike Rogers.
