I was going to make a humorous reply, but it hit me that I cannot imagine the hell this man must have been confronting...and probably deservedly so.

How lucky I am, and we Freepers are, to live in the light.

I have had times in my life when I was distant from God because of something I had done (hell, I spent my career on Wall St...it--hell--was all around me...this was a town in which money and power and position was god. And I was determine to get my share of it.).

There is nothing worse in life than distance between you and your creator.

I cannot imagine the hell Aaron Hernandez must have known.

I don't want to imagine it.

And thank God for that.

I am lucky that I was born and raised as a small town rube. A God loving, God fearing rube.

Even New York City couldn't erase that.

OK...time out. Gotta feed the raccoons and possums on the back porch.;-)

Good post. Aaron Hernandez always smirked in court and pretended it was all no big deal. But he suffered greatly as a result of his bad decisions. Over the past three years, he saw his old team win the Super Bowl twice and he could have played a major in all of that with unimaginable fame and riches. But he threw it all away. Not to mention his child and family. Every day for Hernandez over the past few years has been a living hell. Despite the front that he put up.

I feel bad for Mr. Hernandez. I saw the video of him being sentenced and the realization that he had thrown away his future. It should serve as proof to all of us that now matter how talented you are, making bad decisions will eventually destroy your life.

Thx Sam.

A childhood friend of mine committed suicide at 45 years. I had tried to help him though that rough period...to no avail.

I was going through my own rough period.

I made it through by the skin of my teeth and he didn't.

There is certainly a Hound of Heaven...but there is also a Hound of Hell.

Both are hot on our trails.

Eternity depends on which baying call we listen to.

Insane.

So do people think he did this for his family to cash in?

Conclusion: Mr. Hernandez was a religious fella who liked to shoot folks in the face.
