Because the alternative, rushing with probably the best running back in the league, wasn't susceptible to the same downsides.

Yeesh, you've got a few...issues counselor. At least you're doing your best to combat the stereotype of personal injury lawyers as smarmy jerks who graduated in the bottom half of their class.

Ok, you are being serious. Wow, that's...something. Why is it that you think so much evidence has apparently been fabricated against Hernandez?

Holy cow, you're being serious, aren't you? You really think that Hernandez didn't kill anyone?

Melissa McCarthy.

Are there many people at the Aaron Hernandez Fan Club meet-ups any more?

Correction accepted.

Aw, don't be like that. It's just that sometimes it's kind of obvious who has half a semester of Criminal Procedure under their belt and can't wait to tell folks about what's wrong with this episode of Law & Order.

So how is 1L CrimPro going for you so far?

I'm starting to think that this Hernandez chap might not be such a great guy.

These work more than adequately for everything but wine (and even then, c'mon), and nobody has to feel bad if they break one. Plus, they provide a handy method for determining who you don't want at your party: if someone complains that their cocktail isn't in the traditional glassware, you know that they are an…

He was a wooden doll that wanted to become a real boy. What's so hard to understand about that?

If I had a dollar for every time the Bears corners and safeties jogged into the end zone shrugging their shoulders at each other because they apparently honestly didn't know who was supposed to be covering the receiver who just scored a td after being open by 15 yards, I could have bought Tucker a bus ticket out of…

The Cardinals are a better roster than the Bears hands down.

Keep in mind that Rod Marinelli oversaw the last team to go 0-16.

It's the unearned sense of entitlement that makes them so goddamn detestable. He doesn't feel bad that the team they were (literally) given isn't winning for they city which has (literally) given them hundreds of millions of dollars over the years. He's mad that the team isn't delivering for his family. Fuck him…

Barnwell was really, really wrong in that column, but there aren't many columnists who are as right as he is as often. He knows his shit.

The defense does not have an overabundance of talent, which is why having an atrocious coordinator makes it so much worse. Good coaches are able to cover, or at least minimize, holes in their defense, but Tucker's coaching made the holes magnified.

As if you have to ask them to weigh in.
