Ladies and gentlemen, Mike Bianchi’s wet dream.
And with this story coming out in the Wall Street Journal yesterday, it’s pretty obvious that Florida’s getting a lot of unwanted attention about its… um, support of student-athletes who run into trouble.
As prosecutors prepare to try former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez on murder and gun charges, new details have emerged about a 2007 bar fight at the University of Florida that suggest the incident was far from trivial.
According to a 2007 police report obtained Monday by The Wall Street Journal, Hernandez had a brush with the law at Florida before he’d even played a down.
That’s what made him one of Corch’s top 1% of the top 1%.
Speaking of Meyer, that’s got to be the one disappointment for Bianchi – that he’s no longer around to bask in the warmth and love of the Gator media on the subject. But that doesn’t mean Bianchi can’t reminisce about the good old days.
When Urban Meyer coached in Gainesville, we media cynics used to call Johnson the most valuable member of UF’s staff even though he doesn’t actually work for the Gators. Even so, he was Meyer’s ingenious and innovative “defensive coordinator” because he was so effective at defending some of the Urbanator’s gun-toting, bar-fighting miscreants and malcontents.
Fun times. Even if Corch is reluctant to join in.
Where’s a Seat 37F when a guy needs one?

UPDATE: By the way, that witness called over to try to intervene in the bar dispute? None other than His Tebowness. Timmy may not have been able to stop Hernandez from throwing a punch, but it seems like he helped get the ball rolling on the fix.
Hernandez told the officer both he and Tebow had already called then-UF football coach Urban Meyer and informed him about the incident.
A day later, the investigator officer told Hernandez’s attorney, Huntley Johnson, he would not be pursuing charges in connection with alcohol served to minors at the restaurant, but he wrote, “it would be noted in the report so the coaches could handle it internally.”
That was thoughtful.

I’d like to gradulate Hurntley Johnston for his gusty defernsive performance of that Gata and recognize that he is the not only the best legal but the best lawyer in the country. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, them Gata legal counsel don’t take no jive.

I can’t help but wonder if Hernandez had suffered any consequences as the result of his actions while in Gainesville would three people still be alive today?

Well, lets look at it this way, if the accusations are true, Hernandez acted as if there would be no consequences for his actions. I mean he does realize that law enforcement is motivated to pursue a murder no?

But to your point Allen, that is the million dollar question and its a fair one in my opinion.

I think not.
After all is said and done, he may also be guilty in two more murders, of the drive-by variety, and shooting an acquaintance in the face for pissin’ him off.
He’s an animal.
