OJ & Hernandez aren’t the same. OJ had already retired, his greatness on the field had already played out fully. Hernandez hadn’t even scratched the ceiling of what he could’ve done
I mean look at Junior Seau, he shot himself in the chest so that they could test his brain. He definitely had CTE. Now that is an incredibly sad story.
I binge watched all 3 episodes last night. I completely forgot about all the crazy stuff that happened. I'd bet that he'll be the last gay, murdering, football player ever....dude really lived 3 different lives.
Well to be fair, "The People Vs. O.J Simpson" was a TV series with actors and re-enactments, whereas this is a documentary with interviews and actual footage, etc.
If Aaron Hernandez could have found a way to leave that life behind he would be a HoF easily. Dude was a straight beast in the NFL, him and Gronk would have teared up the league. His life story is extremely sad to hear about, and as a Gator fan I really wish he pulled himself together and just played football because he was something special.
SamNettles it’s to reenforce the idea that Hernandez was showing no signs of killing him self that night. He was optimistic of his future as one of his last conversations and then he’s found dead after being acquitted for the double homicide
I can't stand Tebow's attempts to stick his religion down our throats. Probably turned a lot of people off. I think he was a good player, but that religious crap makes me want to vomit.
I think its crazy all this stuff that happened with Aaron, but, It needs to be stated that when they did an autopsy on him postmortem, They found the worse case of CTE that has ever been found in a person! Idk how much that stuff was stated in his trial, but that along with his past could explain quite a bit! Also a lot of this stuff that had happened with Aaron could explain why the Patriots organization was so quick to get rid of Antonio Brown, however different their personalities and past maybe.
I can relate to these sentiments. In high school, one of the players from my rival high school was arrested for double homicide a couple weeks after the game. Still shakes me and my homeboy to this day.
Jessie B I partially agree with you but it was also proven that he had one of, if not the most severe case of CTE they had ever seen...especially for someone so young. It was mainly in his frontal lobe which controls judgement, personality and mood so you can’t say for certain “football had nothing to do with it”. It was probably a combination of the two.
Travis Bickle it May have played a part but that can never be proven. Fact is he was a cold blooded murderer who played a full season after killing two people or at least playing a part in it. His team mates would have know something was up if he was acting out of the ordinary. Evidently he wasn’t. Couldn’t care less for him. He can rot in hell.
I love the point Odin’s friend made. Aaron wanted to be a gangster. He was given every chance to be a football player. The gangsters didn’t mess with the football players. But Aaron wanted to be about that life. Also the point of if he had gone to a west coast or even mid west team. Far away from his boys in Boston and Connecticut. Who knows what would have happened.
He asked the patriots for help and a trade cause he felt unsafe. He was dealing with a local drug dealer explaining the situation. They denied it 2 weeks later this Odon situation happened. Hernandez lawyer wrote a book. Opens your eyes. I do not think he is innocent but I do not think he pulled any triggers.
@@edwardvega87 his lawyer is also the guy who got Casey Anthony off after murdering her baby. Son of Sam law dictates you and your family cannot profit by your crimes, so they use lawyers and writers to make money, then make under the table deals to collect anyways. Never trust a defense attorney that's making money from selling his story.
Seen him at a club once. Him and his boys locked the bathroom door and he came out lookin tweaked out of his mind. Just stood in the corner stairing at people. Weird at the time but understood it after everything came out
Wow wtffffff that’s crazy u say that cuz I witnessed kinda the same thing . One day he walked by me in club Venu in Boston and later on that night his brother was locked in the bathroom sniffing coke and they didn’t let nobody in bathroom. True Story.
Close you're mouth because Aaron Hernandez is not here to defend himself Close you're mouth stupid old man karma will get you Aaron was not the killer yo man there were to more guys it was Carlos Ortiz and Wallace and Alexander Bradley were the killer's 😡😡👊
Thank you so much for your comments, they were very accurate and much needed. I also felt the same way about having a family its a serious job. Which too many take lightly.
As a Patriots fan, Gronk was hurt that final year, and we lost Welker, didnt know what Edelman could be but we had Hernandez and that was a bit of confidence, and all hell broke loose. It all happened so fast.
When pat started talking about the brain thing it immediately reminded me of Chris Benoit and how there was something where his brain resembled that of an 80 years old Alzheimer’s patient or something like that. Two very sad and unfortunate situations that could very well be due in part to safety at the professional level of sports/entertainment
Hey Pat, check Kevin Turner's CTE story! He was fullback at Bama and played NFL for many years also (some time at New England Patriots and i think a super bowl with them). He was on the '92 National Championship team at Bama and played on team with Dabo. Matter of fact, his son plays Safety for Clemson currently. He was kid who made interception to end Ohio States last drive/Game (Nolan Turner). Sad stuff but will def get awareness out there about CTE if you will share with your viewers/listener's. You have such an amazing platform and it would be great for others to hear and follow up watching this story.
There's a podcast series called gladiator by the boston globe which covered the whole story of Hernandez and they did a way better job than Netflix did in covering this story
The documentary lied about that. He never expressed concern for his safety, he said he wanted to get away from members of his family. That comes straight from the book the documentary was supposedly based on, which left out quite a bit of things that showed he lied multiple times to both the patriots and the NFL as a whole. The filmmakers were clearly trying to make both organizations look shady throughout the documentary
@@lanemorse8612 idk I remember his defense attorney brought it up in the court hearings that he told bill and Robert Kraft he wanted to be traded because of fear of his life. I don't know all the details but I do remember that and they had a conversation about it on ESPN
Honestly I thought the documentary was fairly average. The Boston Globe articles present the same information, and much more, far better and organized. I didn’t like how the documentaries kept switching up events rather than keep it chronological.
Aaron Hernandez Documentary: Aaron Hernandez is the only person to kill someone and then play a whole NFL season! Ray Lewis: *looks over Ray Lewis: *looks away quickly
One of the saddest parts of that documentary is the amount of ppl cheering for Aaron as the van drives by with him cuffed inside. All those ppl being behind him while knowing absolutely nothing about case.
Bro it's so crazy you made this video I literally was thinking to myself last night after watching it "what if Pat did a podcast about this that'd be sweet" and here we are this is crazy as fuck
I watched the documentary its soo sad and tragic for everyone involved and all the families. Aaron Hernandez had alot of potential sad he had to go down that path and the fact he had a daughter who will grow up with a father
There are 2 things that need to be addressed. First, CTE plays a large role here. Second, his upbringing trained and taught him to always act as if everything is normal. Sexually assaulted as a child? Act like nothing happened, everything is normal. Gay sexual relationship? Act like nothing happened, everything is normal. Combine the two things and you have an impulsive person who will have a tendency to resolve with violence and then no matter what happens, you act normal. It's really not hard to comprehend or that big of a leap.
Hunter Deskin wrong first of all he didn’t kill anybody second of all the people that did commit the murders did it in self-defense actually read the court filings and evidence before you make stupid statements!
I find it hard to believe no one on those gators and pats teams were clueless about this man. Especially with the people that work for NFL teams having the resources to find out soooooo much about poeple, I am sure some red flags came up they just rolled the dice. Also, I think dude was crazy and f'ed up to begin with the concussions and cte just magnified.
jjcampbell80 good thing your dad is there for you. His mother wasn’t there for him when he needed her the most. She chose another man over her own son.
It's weird how ppl think, he wanted to please a man who use to beat his mother. Than that same mother turns around and disappoints him. His father also played a huge part of his anger issues
jjcampbell80 u need to watch it to fully understand his mom was a terrible parent and he was forced to move to the rough sides of the street with his aunt just watch it and it’s not just the dad passing away that’s just a fraction of it
Yes and then he would be free to murder more people. While it's unfortunate he took his own life, I think it was good for society that he was found guilty.
This is actually sad. For those younger guys reading this, he was very, very good. It was almost impossible to cover two tights ends that good, especially when the other one is possible-GOAT Gronk. Imagine trying to cover a Kittle and a Waller at the same time or a Kittle and a Hooper - good luck.
I was diagnosed with CTE roughly 6 years ago. I’ve had 9 (Documented) Major concussions , multiple “Minor” and yes, it does bring a lot of pain and problems in my day to day life. And mental issues? Oh boy are they terrible and terrifying to be stuck in your own head BUT I also had a horrible and abusive mother and honestly? I’d still pick harming myself over someone else. Sometimes CTE ISN’T the reason, isn’t the answer and is only an excuse for questions we will never truly know. It’s a shame none the less innocent people had to die regardless and I pray they all rest in piece.🙏✌️
Yes, the only sure way to know 100% is dissecting the brain. But like everything else there’s signs and symptoms and if it’s severe enough, the changes in a person happen so drastically it makes it easier to pin point. There’s multiple documentaries and hundreds of studies out now that explain a lot of the issues that can arise and how to notice it while someone is still alive. A quick Google search can answer all your questions. I fell 30 feet 7 years ago and I luckily walked away with some damage but I’m still functional. I had no memory for 4 days, it was like 50 first dates. That was my 9th, when I started developing various issues and multiple tests were done over and over I was sent to a Nuro. Who started looking into everything I was dealing with as a whole. 1 symptom doesn’t mean you have it, but when you check 95% of the boxes it’s hard to ignore the truth of it all. Our brains don’t take abuse like we think.
Aaron had a really good pokerface, he was either full on smilling or very serious looking. I'm obsessed with this story, how someone can have 2 life's ( no one have a idea) is intriguing too me. We just don't really know what goes on in someone's head.
@@DF.7 just goes to show you how the rich can get away with it. All they need is superstar lawyers. I just get sick to my stomach comparing this to the OJ case. And people still think he is innocent. I just hope in my lifetime we never see another murder case play the race card like they did with OJ.
@@nicholasclark5460 Don't blame the defense, they are just doing their job. OJ got off on a murder because of an absolutely incompetent prosecution and racists LAPD cops.
CTE is horrible. I fell back in April and hit my head and was concussed for 3 days. I could not imagine the repeated blows to the head. That definitely changes your personality and makes you do things you would never do.
I'm a huge Patriots fan have been since the 90s.. I used to watch Hernandez play at Florida and then for the Patriots and I always knew something was off about that guy I wasn't shocked at all when he did what he did
Pat I don’t know you personally but you are a good American you love our country you are close with your family so don’t ever worry about raising a child !! You will be a great parent when it comes time just don’t do it to early !! Keep dedicating your time when you can for work
David Ray I’m so glad you have based your whole opinion on this subject around yourself. “I forget alot shit.” Yeah those concussions ain’t doing shit to your brain.
you could tell some of those people in the Netflix special were lying through their teeth. Just like the Michael Jackson special. Some people will say and do whatever to get famous.
