1
00:00:06,548 --> 00:00:08,425
Sound speeds.
2
00:00:12,095 --> 00:00:15,474
Okay, here we go. Here's our frame.
3
00:00:15,474 --> 00:00:16,642
Take one.
4
00:00:17,267 --> 00:00:20,312
Okay, Aaron. I'm just gonna have you
take a giant step backwards
5
00:00:20,312 --> 00:00:21,647
and I want you to walk up.
6
00:00:21,647 --> 00:00:24,316
{\an8}Give me a lot of attitude, sit back down.
7
00:00:24,816 --> 00:00:27,069
{\an8}- So, step back...
- One big, giant step back.
8
00:00:27,069 --> 00:00:28,987
So, like this? And then?
9
00:00:28,987 --> 00:00:30,614
A little motion left or right,
doesn't matter.
10
00:00:30,614 --> 00:00:32,031
Just come on up.
11
00:00:32,031 --> 00:00:34,826
So, before I do it, I'm just gonna
step forward and just go like this.
12
00:00:34,826 --> 00:00:37,829
- Exactly. Great.
- All right, all right.
13
00:00:37,829 --> 00:00:40,040
- You don't have to fold 'em.
- I'm gonna fold 'em.
14
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,458
Camera's rolling.
15
00:00:45,504 --> 00:00:46,797
Good.
16
00:00:54,179 --> 00:00:56,807
Good. Come back.
Do it one more time, but look happy.
17
00:00:56,807 --> 00:00:58,016
Yeah.
18
00:00:58,016 --> 00:01:00,185
- You've got a nice smile.
- I like the happy one.
19
00:01:00,185 --> 00:01:01,395
Very nice.
20
00:01:02,271 --> 00:01:05,107
- Allow me.
- Okay. Here we go.
21
00:01:06,984 --> 00:01:09,027
There you go, very nice. Loving it.
22
00:01:19,204 --> 00:01:20,080
{\an8}Man.
23
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,207
{\an8}I called him Chico, man.
24
00:01:24,418 --> 00:01:28,338
{\an8}I hope people don't take this
the wrong way.
25
00:01:34,052 --> 00:01:35,637
You only know...
26
00:01:37,097 --> 00:01:39,266
...what someone is to the core.
27
00:01:41,476 --> 00:01:44,104
And you only can judge them
by what you see.
28
00:01:48,150 --> 00:01:50,652
I have some moments where I'm just like...
29
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,411
...like, "You should have seen that," like...
30
00:02:04,291 --> 00:02:06,376
"Well, Deion, you should have seen that."
31
00:02:10,088 --> 00:02:13,759
{\an8}The New England Patriots player
Aaron Hernandez arrested
32
00:02:13,759 --> 00:02:15,844
{\an8}and led out of his home in handcuffs.
33
00:02:15,844 --> 00:02:19,848
{\an8}Aaron Hernandez
was charged with murder today.
34
00:02:19,848 --> 00:02:24,019
{\an8}The 27-year-old Odin Lloyd
was killed execution-style.
35
00:02:24,853 --> 00:02:29,233
Aaron Hernandez has been
indicted on two new murder charges.
36
00:02:30,067 --> 00:02:34,530
Aaron Hernandez could well
be the first serial killer from the NFL.
37
00:02:52,047 --> 00:02:55,092
{\an8}Patriots. Yeah, it's Belichick.
38
00:02:58,387 --> 00:02:59,555
{\an8}What do you got?
39
00:03:00,514 --> 00:03:04,726
{\an8}2010 draft was critical to our future.
40
00:03:06,186 --> 00:03:10,399
A lot of our established
older players are phasing out.
41
00:03:11,233 --> 00:03:15,988
{\an8}And to be competitive,
you have to do well in the draft.
42
00:03:17,197 --> 00:03:21,159
2010 was really
a big moment for the Patriots.
43
00:03:22,077 --> 00:03:26,123
Talent had started to drain,
and the feeling was
44
00:03:26,123 --> 00:03:28,625
{\an8}that the franchise was in decline.
45
00:03:29,168 --> 00:03:30,544
{\an8}And they needed to be resuscitated.
46
00:03:32,171 --> 00:03:36,967
And so they made a couple of significant
draft picks that changed everything.
47
00:03:36,967 --> 00:03:40,345
We're on the clock with six-40 remaining.
48
00:03:40,345 --> 00:03:42,472
Bill, they gotta get the trade in.
49
00:03:42,472 --> 00:03:45,058
All right, John, write this name down.
50
00:03:45,559 --> 00:03:49,479
{\an8}Devin McCourty, cornerback, Rutgers.
51
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:52,983
{\an8}For me it was a honor
to be a part of that class, man.
52
00:03:52,983 --> 00:03:56,111
{\an8}It was time for the new regime,
the new guard, to come in here
53
00:03:56,111 --> 00:03:58,405
{\an8}and to let go of some of the older guys.
54
00:03:58,405 --> 00:04:00,991
Devin, it's Coach Belichick.
How you doing?
55
00:04:00,991 --> 00:04:03,368
We're about to make you
a New England Patriot.
56
00:04:03,368 --> 00:04:05,954
I just wanted to be the one
to call and congratulate you
57
00:04:05,954 --> 00:04:08,248
and welcome you to the team, all right?
58
00:04:08,248 --> 00:04:11,627
The top four
to five rounds of that draft
59
00:04:11,627 --> 00:04:16,673
really end up being that kind of second
wave of the Patriots dynasty,
60
00:04:16,673 --> 00:04:19,051
and I think
we take a lot of pride in that.
61
00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:21,928
Hey, Johnny, write this name down.
62
00:04:21,928 --> 00:04:24,890
G-R-O-N...
63
00:04:24,890 --> 00:04:27,935
K-O-W-S-K-I.
64
00:04:27,935 --> 00:04:29,061
Tight end.
65
00:04:29,061 --> 00:04:32,606
With the 42nd pick in the 2010 NFL draft,
66
00:04:32,606 --> 00:04:37,027
{\an8}the New England Patriots
select Rob Gronkowski,
67
00:04:37,027 --> 00:04:39,112
{\an8}tight end, Arizona.
68
00:04:40,989 --> 00:04:44,868
When I was drafted to the Patriots,
it was a proud moment.
69
00:04:44,868 --> 00:04:48,830
{\an8}My family came on stage as well.
We got in a huddle.
70
00:04:48,830 --> 00:04:51,291
{\an8}We're doing "Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo!"
71
00:04:51,291 --> 00:04:53,252
in the huddle, jumping up and down.
72
00:05:00,968 --> 00:05:03,929
Then all of a sudden
I get a phone call from the Patriots.
73
00:05:03,929 --> 00:05:05,973
All right, Rob.
74
00:05:05,973 --> 00:05:08,684
And they said, "Hey, Rob," like,
75
00:05:08,684 --> 00:05:11,812
"you can get off the stage now.
Like, enough is enough."
76
00:05:11,812 --> 00:05:15,482
And I'm sitting there like,
"Wow, I'm already in trouble.
77
00:05:15,482 --> 00:05:19,444
It's been five minutes since I've been on
the Patriots, and I'm already in trouble."
78
00:05:20,529 --> 00:05:24,324
{\an8}I can picture Bill in that draft room
just being like,
79
00:05:24,324 --> 00:05:26,577
{\an8}"Why the fuck did we just draft this kid?"
80
00:05:27,828 --> 00:05:29,496
Oh, look at this.
81
00:05:31,373 --> 00:05:33,917
Lord have mercy on us.
82
00:05:33,917 --> 00:05:37,546
{\an8}The Patriots have a big draft.
They draft two tight ends...
83
00:05:38,422 --> 00:05:41,967
...Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez.
84
00:05:42,843 --> 00:05:46,096
And now,
with another selection, 1-13 overall,
85
00:05:46,096 --> 00:05:50,142
they go Aaron Hernandez, who, by the way,
is from Bristol, Connecticut,
86
00:05:50,142 --> 00:05:51,852
played high school football
right down the road,
87
00:05:51,852 --> 00:05:54,188
but he was the best tight end
in football last year.
88
00:05:54,188 --> 00:05:55,480
The John Mackey Award winner.
89
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,442
I think Aaron Hernandez
is a tremendous pick
90
00:05:58,442 --> 00:06:00,277
because I'm not talking about
off the field,
91
00:06:00,277 --> 00:06:03,197
I'm talking about on the field,
he was a safety net.
92
00:06:03,739 --> 00:06:08,202
Hernandez was very quiet, you know,
had a questionable background in Florida.
93
00:06:09,536 --> 00:06:13,624
Other teams claimed they took him off
their draft board because he had issues.
94
00:06:14,333 --> 00:06:16,710
We knew that there were issues,
95
00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:19,254
but you make a calculation on draft day.
96
00:06:19,254 --> 00:06:22,508
{\an8}Look, we're getting first-round talent
for fourth-round price.
97
00:06:22,508 --> 00:06:25,219
{\an8}If it doesn't work out right,
we can always cut him.
98
00:06:26,386 --> 00:06:30,015
And Hernandez inside the 25.
99
00:06:30,015 --> 00:06:32,267
Hernandez is not a first-round pick,
100
00:06:32,267 --> 00:06:34,937
because there are some questions
about his character.
101
00:06:34,937 --> 00:06:37,189
Some of the things he did off the field.
102
00:06:38,065 --> 00:06:41,860
Teams were aware
that he smoked marijuana all the time.
103
00:06:42,694 --> 00:06:44,613
But it's so much more than that.
104
00:06:47,699 --> 00:06:49,618
I'm Aaron Hernandez
from Bristol, Connecticut.
105
00:06:49,618 --> 00:06:51,745
I play at Bristol Central High School.
106
00:06:55,624 --> 00:06:59,920
{\an8}Aaron Hernandez came out
of this really troubled childhood.
107
00:07:01,004 --> 00:07:05,259
He's trying to find his way in high school
and becomes a football star.
108
00:07:08,637 --> 00:07:10,848
But when he was 16 years old,
109
00:07:10,848 --> 00:07:15,060
his father, who kept him
on the straight and narrow, dies,
110
00:07:15,060 --> 00:07:17,521
and Aaron started to unravel.
111
00:07:18,313 --> 00:07:22,276
{\an8}He fell in with a rowdy crowd,
and he learned a whole new life.
112
00:07:23,151 --> 00:07:26,154
{\an8}So you have all these different issues
this kid's confronting,
113
00:07:26,154 --> 00:07:29,241
{\an8}when, you know, the big-time colleges
come looking for him.
114
00:07:29,241 --> 00:07:31,618
Florida Gators,
115
00:07:31,618 --> 00:07:34,037
and Urban Meyer, the head coach.
116
00:07:34,037 --> 00:07:37,082
Urban Meyer,
the head coach of the Florida Gators,
117
00:07:37,082 --> 00:07:41,378
came to the principal
of Aaron's high school and said,
118
00:07:41,378 --> 00:07:43,422
"We want him to leave, come to Florida."
119
00:07:44,089 --> 00:07:45,883
Set. Hike!
120
00:07:48,218 --> 00:07:51,638
{\an8}Aaron arrives in Florida
barely 17 years old...
121
00:07:52,723 --> 00:07:56,059
...still troubled beyond anyone's belief.
122
00:07:57,352 --> 00:07:59,771
During that time, he's in a bar
123
00:07:59,771 --> 00:08:03,192
and there's a dispute
over a 12-dollar tab in the bar.
124
00:08:03,692 --> 00:08:06,486
Hernandez got into a fight
with the bar manager.
125
00:08:06,486 --> 00:08:10,616
He punched the manager so hard,
his eardrum burst.
126
00:08:10,616 --> 00:08:15,245
But at Florida, they had a fixer
for the players when they get in trouble.
127
00:08:15,245 --> 00:08:19,541
And that lawyer was there for Aaron,
and everything went away.
128
00:08:21,210 --> 00:08:23,295
So he comes away from the bar incident
129
00:08:23,295 --> 00:08:28,175
and he learns very early in his career
about what Football Inc. is,
130
00:08:28,175 --> 00:08:31,887
and that is that you can get in trouble
and not get in trouble.
131
00:08:37,351 --> 00:08:41,270
You guys are stepping in to
what we call the National Football League.
132
00:08:42,438 --> 00:08:44,358
You ain't trying to get in.
133
00:08:44,358 --> 00:08:46,485
You ain't applying, you in the league.
134
00:08:47,528 --> 00:08:50,864
And if you think having money
gonna change you in a positive way,
135
00:08:50,864 --> 00:08:52,699
you sure enough fooling yourself.
136
00:08:52,699 --> 00:08:55,494
{\an8}If you like to smoke dope now,
if you like kush now,
137
00:08:55,494 --> 00:08:57,996
{\an8}you gonna be buying all the kush they got.
138
00:08:57,996 --> 00:08:59,373
{\an8}If you--
139
00:09:01,416 --> 00:09:03,168
Y'all want me to lie to y'all
140
00:09:03,168 --> 00:09:05,420
like the rest of 'em do
when they come in here.
141
00:09:05,420 --> 00:09:08,382
When Buddy Ryan cut me,
I played three years in Philadelphia,
142
00:09:08,382 --> 00:09:10,676
and he cut me
because he couldn't depend on me.
143
00:09:10,676 --> 00:09:13,679
And they made me get my stuff
and get gone.
144
00:09:14,179 --> 00:09:15,722
I had to get smart.
145
00:09:17,182 --> 00:09:19,434
First question. In the back.
146
00:09:20,143 --> 00:09:22,229
I was just wondering
what changes did you make
147
00:09:22,229 --> 00:09:24,690
from when you got cut
to when you went to Minnesota?
148
00:09:24,690 --> 00:09:26,525
Man, you gotta get your stuff together.
149
00:09:26,525 --> 00:09:29,653
You gotta stop lying to yourself.
I stopped smoking that dope.
150
00:09:29,653 --> 00:09:31,697
Stopped doing all the things I was doing,
151
00:09:31,697 --> 00:09:35,617
and I started getting my body in shape
and I start being able to run all day.
152
00:09:36,201 --> 00:09:38,662
I told my old friends, "Don't call."
153
00:09:41,164 --> 00:09:43,333
Now, this should be,
this should be, right now,
154
00:09:43,333 --> 00:09:46,503
the fork in the road for a lot of y'all
to get y'all stuff together
155
00:09:46,503 --> 00:09:48,881
before you get popped,
'cause you're gonna get caught.
156
00:09:50,090 --> 00:09:51,633
You're gonna get caught.
157
00:10:00,934 --> 00:10:03,395
{\an8}It's the opening
of Patriots training camp.
158
00:10:04,104 --> 00:10:07,816
{\an8}Players to keep an eye on,
a completely new group of tight ends,
159
00:10:07,816 --> 00:10:11,361
including rookies
Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez.
160
00:10:11,361 --> 00:10:13,697
Lots of optimism for the season.
161
00:10:14,698 --> 00:10:17,409
Right after the Patriots
drafted Aaron Hernandez,
162
00:10:17,409 --> 00:10:20,495
I think Belichick just figured,
"I've got this culture here,
163
00:10:20,495 --> 00:10:22,664
my locker room will police him.
164
00:10:22,664 --> 00:10:25,667
He's a great football player.
He's gonna help us win."
165
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,673
Aaron was a big part
of what the Patriots were trying to do.
166
00:10:31,673 --> 00:10:35,302
You know, to grow and build offensively.
167
00:10:37,387 --> 00:10:39,640
He had so much confidence
168
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,519
{\an8}that he thought every play should be
drawn up for him, you know? And...
169
00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:45,938
he knew he was a really good player,
and he was.
170
00:10:47,022 --> 00:10:48,690
Brady firing away.
171
00:10:48,690 --> 00:10:50,108
Hernandez.
172
00:10:51,276 --> 00:10:54,863
He's not done inside the 15,
and down to the two.
173
00:10:55,822 --> 00:10:58,408
{\an8}The Patriots actually introduced
this new type of offense
174
00:10:58,408 --> 00:10:59,785
{\an8}that featured two tight ends.
175
00:11:00,410 --> 00:11:02,371
Brady throw, back of the end zone,
176
00:11:02,371 --> 00:11:07,084
and the catch by the rookie.
Rob Gronkowski for the touchdown.
177
00:11:08,252 --> 00:11:11,463
And together,
those dudes were uncoverable.
178
00:11:12,297 --> 00:11:14,591
Still going down the sideline.
179
00:11:14,591 --> 00:11:18,095
You couldn't put a corner
on those guys, they were too big.
180
00:11:18,095 --> 00:11:21,473
You couldn't put a safety on them
because they were too fast and too quick.
181
00:11:21,473 --> 00:11:24,518
That's Hernandez
shaking off a tackle. Unbelievable.
182
00:11:25,769 --> 00:11:28,230
I come out every day
and they put me places.
183
00:11:28,230 --> 00:11:31,358
I go out and go as hard as I can
and make some plays for the team.
184
00:11:31,358 --> 00:11:33,151
He is a nightmare match-up.
185
00:11:33,151 --> 00:11:34,903
He's so shifty, he's elusive,
186
00:11:34,903 --> 00:11:37,447
you can move him around
in so many different places.
187
00:11:37,447 --> 00:11:41,201
When Aaron Hernandez came in,
we won 14 games our rookie year.
188
00:11:42,536 --> 00:11:45,205
And then the next year
we go to the Super Bowl.
189
00:11:46,582 --> 00:11:51,795
And over the middle,
getting free, touchdown, Hernandez.
190
00:11:53,463 --> 00:11:58,510
Brady to the end zone.
Hernandez is there. Incomplete.
191
00:11:59,511 --> 00:12:04,516
And the New York Giants
are the Super Bowl champs.
192
00:12:05,142 --> 00:12:06,643
That game was tough.
193
00:12:06,643 --> 00:12:10,439
And we lost, but I'm like,
"We'll be back."
194
00:12:10,439 --> 00:12:12,774
Like, we were 14 and 2 the year before,
195
00:12:12,774 --> 00:12:15,903
Super Bowl the next year.
We're gonna keep doing this.
196
00:12:16,778 --> 00:12:18,488
Next time, we'll win it.
197
00:12:21,992 --> 00:12:25,078
{\an8}Aaron Hernandez is getting
a big-time contract extension,
198
00:12:25,078 --> 00:12:29,124
{\an8}Five-year extension that could be worth
as much as 40 million dollars.
199
00:12:29,124 --> 00:12:31,335
- Aaron, congratulations.
- Thank you.
200
00:12:31,335 --> 00:12:33,712
What is your reaction to this great news?
201
00:12:33,712 --> 00:12:37,674
This is a place
that not only did it change my future
202
00:12:37,674 --> 00:12:40,552
from them paying me,
but it just changed me as a person,
203
00:12:40,552 --> 00:12:43,388
'cause you can't come here
and act reckless and do your own stuff.
204
00:12:45,224 --> 00:12:47,851
Aaron Hernandez,
in his interviews,
205
00:12:47,851 --> 00:12:52,064
{\an8}would give the clichés, but then there
would always be like, "What was that?
206
00:12:52,064 --> 00:12:53,482
What do you mean, reckless?
207
00:12:53,482 --> 00:12:55,692
So, what is...?
How do you define recklessness?"
208
00:12:55,692 --> 00:12:59,112
Which I and others should have asked,
but nobody ever asked him.
209
00:12:59,112 --> 00:13:00,781
You have a baby on the way?
210
00:13:00,781 --> 00:13:02,950
I do. I have a daughter on the way. Yes.
211
00:13:02,950 --> 00:13:05,619
- Perfect timing.
- November 12th. Yes, perfect timing.
212
00:13:06,453 --> 00:13:07,913
- Thank you, Aaron.
- Thanks, man
213
00:13:07,913 --> 00:13:09,122
Congratulations.
214
00:13:09,122 --> 00:13:12,668
And so, he was always kind of giving you
little breadcrumbs
215
00:13:12,668 --> 00:13:17,297
of things that were going on...
in his mind.
216
00:13:23,303 --> 00:13:25,347
I was most impressed
with Hernandez.
217
00:13:25,347 --> 00:13:27,474
How he came in today.
218
00:13:28,141 --> 00:13:30,060
I think he's got such a good heart.
219
00:13:30,060 --> 00:13:31,770
He's a good guy.
220
00:13:36,692 --> 00:13:40,737
He told me he had to be careful
with the people around him now.
221
00:13:40,737 --> 00:13:42,698
He recognizes it himself.
222
00:13:42,698 --> 00:13:44,992
He's come into so much money.
223
00:13:47,744 --> 00:13:50,497
We knew
that there were some issues
224
00:13:50,497 --> 00:13:53,041
outside of our building.
225
00:13:53,959 --> 00:13:57,504
But it was our hope and desire
226
00:13:57,504 --> 00:14:02,176
that the Patriot way
would be a great influence on him.
227
00:14:02,676 --> 00:14:05,846
Him saying, "I want you
around here for the next seven years,"
228
00:14:05,846 --> 00:14:09,933
saying like he really wants me
a part of his family, it means a lot.
229
00:14:09,933 --> 00:14:14,188
{\an8}Aaron and I,
we had a genuine feeling
230
00:14:14,188 --> 00:14:17,482
{\an8}of connection and love.
231
00:14:19,193 --> 00:14:23,488
Every time he'd see me,
he would kiss me on the cheek.
232
00:14:24,323 --> 00:14:27,868
I mean, this is something
I do with my sons.
233
00:14:28,827 --> 00:14:35,584
I think he viewed me, you know,
sort of as a loving, paternal figure.
234
00:14:36,835 --> 00:14:42,382
I remember when my sweet wife, Myra,
passed away of ovarian cancer.
235
00:14:43,091 --> 00:14:47,095
Aaron handed me a check for $50,000
236
00:14:47,095 --> 00:14:51,808
to the fund that we had set up
in memory of Myra.
237
00:14:51,808 --> 00:14:55,020
I said, "Aaron this is very sweet.
You don't need to do this.
238
00:14:55,020 --> 00:14:57,814
You've already got your contract."
239
00:14:57,814 --> 00:15:01,610
And he started getting tears in his eyes.
240
00:15:01,610 --> 00:15:06,490
"No," he said, "This is very important
to me. I want to do it for you."
241
00:15:07,199 --> 00:15:08,700
It really touched me.
242
00:15:08,700 --> 00:15:10,494
- Okay!
- Yeah.
243
00:15:10,494 --> 00:15:14,915
I felt he was what we wanted
as the perfect Patriot player.
244
00:15:18,252 --> 00:15:20,754
The Patriots were always a team
I wanted to be on,
245
00:15:20,754 --> 00:15:22,506
because they were always winning.
246
00:15:23,799 --> 00:15:25,342
When I joined the team,
247
00:15:25,342 --> 00:15:27,886
{\an8}you know, I'm in my tenth NFL season.
248
00:15:27,886 --> 00:15:30,931
{\an8}I have yet to play in a playoff game.
249
00:15:30,931 --> 00:15:34,434
You know, I've been
a part of a lot of mediocre teams.
250
00:15:36,144 --> 00:15:38,647
Watching practice was exciting.
251
00:15:39,857 --> 00:15:43,694
I had a lot of admiration
for Aaron's athletic ability.
252
00:15:44,444 --> 00:15:46,405
I mean, it was impressive.
253
00:15:46,405 --> 00:15:51,285
So, I'm like, "All right, my odds
are pretty good to get to the Super Bowl."
254
00:15:54,037 --> 00:15:57,958
But I quickly realized
that something was going on.
255
00:15:58,792 --> 00:16:01,420
There was this troubling undercurrent.
256
00:16:04,423 --> 00:16:09,219
During training camp,
Wes Welker makes this beeline over to me,
257
00:16:09,219 --> 00:16:11,805
and grabs me by the shoulders.
258
00:16:12,514 --> 00:16:14,808
He says, "Brandon...
259
00:16:15,559 --> 00:16:19,313
...your locker is in between
Gronk and Aaron Hernandez.
260
00:16:19,313 --> 00:16:25,485
Now, Aaron, he's gonna...
fondle his genitalia in front of you.
261
00:16:25,485 --> 00:16:28,947
He's gonna talk about bathing
with his mom.
262
00:16:29,823 --> 00:16:31,325
You just gotta ignore it.
263
00:16:32,492 --> 00:16:33,827
You gotta ignore it."
264
00:16:33,827 --> 00:16:38,081
It was like Wes has seen a ghost,
the way he was looking at me.
265
00:16:40,417 --> 00:16:42,961
You know,
I thought Aaron was a good kid.
266
00:16:42,961 --> 00:16:47,382
I had a locker right next to him,
tried to help him, tried talking to him.
267
00:16:48,342 --> 00:16:50,135
But at the same time,
268
00:16:50,844 --> 00:16:52,679
{\an8}I don't know, it was...
269
00:16:54,056 --> 00:16:57,684
{\an8}I think it was pretty glaring
that there were issues.
270
00:16:57,684 --> 00:16:59,686
What's up, Brandon?
271
00:17:00,437 --> 00:17:01,438
In the locker room,
272
00:17:01,438 --> 00:17:04,775
we get away with saying
a lot of offensive and disturbing things.
273
00:17:04,775 --> 00:17:07,486
...the other ones, they were... gang bang!
274
00:17:07,486 --> 00:17:09,488
But what Aaron was saying,
275
00:17:09,488 --> 00:17:13,450
it deviated far off the norm
of just locker room bullshitting around.
276
00:17:14,201 --> 00:17:18,539
He would rage out on players, you know,
"Motherfucking people."
277
00:17:18,539 --> 00:17:22,000
Saying he's gonna beat their ass.
"Fucking, I'll kill you."
278
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,296
Which is something
that I don't take lightly.
279
00:17:28,048 --> 00:17:30,342
When Aaron would have meltdowns,
280
00:17:30,342 --> 00:17:34,179
Deion could come over
and have a quiet conversation with him.
281
00:17:36,014 --> 00:17:37,850
I probably had...
282
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,437
{\an8}...the closest relationship with Aaron.
283
00:17:43,438 --> 00:17:46,400
He and I was neighbors. He lived
right across the street from me.
284
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,902
His lady used to come over
to help with the kids.
285
00:17:49,903 --> 00:17:52,990
Anytime Aaron was boiling,
286
00:17:52,990 --> 00:17:57,119
the coach would always ask me,
"Is everything good?
287
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,663
Is everything good?"
288
00:17:59,663 --> 00:18:01,832
It was like, "Check with Deion."
289
00:18:03,709 --> 00:18:05,794
All right, seven on seven, red area.
290
00:18:06,587 --> 00:18:08,630
I remember one particular time,
291
00:18:08,630 --> 00:18:11,300
we're out there doing
a walk-through with Tom.
292
00:18:11,300 --> 00:18:13,260
Aaron's out there in flip-flops
293
00:18:13,260 --> 00:18:16,555
going through the drills, laughing,
flipping the ball around,
294
00:18:16,555 --> 00:18:18,932
calling Bill Belichick "Daddy."
295
00:18:18,932 --> 00:18:20,684
Put that down! Stop!
296
00:18:20,684 --> 00:18:23,687
Tom's like,
"Man, get the fuck outta here."
297
00:18:23,687 --> 00:18:25,480
You know, like,
"What the fuck are you doing?
298
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:26,940
Get the fuck off the field."
299
00:18:26,940 --> 00:18:30,485
That got a rise out of Aaron.
He was MF-ing.
300
00:18:30,485 --> 00:18:33,447
"Motherfucker,"
you know, stormed off the field.
301
00:18:34,031 --> 00:18:38,535
And oftentimes, that didn't
elicit any response out of Bill.
302
00:18:38,535 --> 00:18:39,620
All right.
303
00:18:40,454 --> 00:18:41,455
Punt return.
304
00:18:42,247 --> 00:18:46,835
I remember one time in practice,
we're doing punt return.
305
00:18:46,835 --> 00:18:49,880
You know, we're catching balls,
and Aaron was sitting there,
306
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,008
"I'm the best returner on this team.
Bill, why am I not back here?"
307
00:18:54,092 --> 00:18:57,304
Like, literally,
a rookie sitting there talking like this.
308
00:18:57,304 --> 00:18:59,306
And, like, Bill's, like, laughing.
309
00:19:00,182 --> 00:19:02,059
And, like, I'm not...
310
00:19:02,059 --> 00:19:07,439
I'm like, "Why's he love this guy?
I don't get it. I don't get it."
311
00:19:07,439 --> 00:19:09,233
But when you're that talented,
312
00:19:09,233 --> 00:19:11,652
a lot of people put up
with a lot of stuff.
313
00:19:13,904 --> 00:19:16,657
It reminded me of being on teams where
314
00:19:16,657 --> 00:19:19,785
they let the star players
do what they want to do.
315
00:19:19,785 --> 00:19:22,788
Doesn't matter how you win,
as long as you win.
316
00:19:22,788 --> 00:19:24,581
Set!
317
00:19:24,581 --> 00:19:26,583
Brady, a fade...
318
00:19:26,583 --> 00:19:29,670
Caught! Hernandez, touchdown, Patriots.
319
00:19:29,670 --> 00:19:32,214
Snap to Brady, looks, fires left.
320
00:19:32,214 --> 00:19:34,299
Hernandez walks into the end zone.
321
00:19:35,384 --> 00:19:38,303
Great to see Aaron Hernandez
making moves like this.
322
00:19:39,555 --> 00:19:42,474
Play-action. Brady throws.
Touchdown, New England.
323
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:44,643
Aaron Hernandez.
324
00:19:44,643 --> 00:19:48,146
He just does
so many different things. Just so good.
325
00:19:50,941 --> 00:19:52,985
Another W, baby.
326
00:19:55,529 --> 00:19:58,115
Aaron always did a lot of crazy things.
327
00:19:58,991 --> 00:20:00,617
Pissed a lot of people off.
328
00:20:01,535 --> 00:20:06,832
But I think, for the most part,
on the field, in the locker room...
329
00:20:07,666 --> 00:20:09,626
...we had things under control.
330
00:20:11,503 --> 00:20:14,298
Off the field
is something totally different.
331
00:20:16,842 --> 00:20:18,177
Totally different.
332
00:20:21,555 --> 00:20:23,599
What do you think
a hit on you's worth, man?
333
00:20:23,599 --> 00:20:25,684
Yeah, with a $50 bounty on your head
334
00:20:25,684 --> 00:20:27,769
- would you be pissed?
- Not really.
335
00:20:27,769 --> 00:20:29,897
What do you feel like
a good hit on you is worth?
336
00:20:29,897 --> 00:20:32,983
Like, I think--
I think you're worth at least,
337
00:20:32,983 --> 00:20:35,903
like, 100 Gs on a bounty, dawg.
338
00:20:35,903 --> 00:20:37,070
No comment.
339
00:20:37,070 --> 00:20:39,823
Aaron was always
up to something at night time.
340
00:20:41,033 --> 00:20:42,951
All the warnings were,
341
00:20:42,951 --> 00:20:47,122
"Do not hang out with Chico.
Do not hang out with Chico."
342
00:20:47,122 --> 00:20:49,374
That was the code.
343
00:20:49,374 --> 00:20:52,377
"For your own safety,
do not hang out with Aaron."
344
00:20:53,253 --> 00:20:55,255
So, something was known.
345
00:20:56,215 --> 00:20:58,383
We had a number of people on the staff
346
00:20:58,383 --> 00:21:01,470
who knew that he was spending time
with friends of his
347
00:21:01,470 --> 00:21:03,931
from his hometown of Bristol, Connecticut.
348
00:21:04,723 --> 00:21:08,227
{\an8}Aaron was making references
to hanging with his boys from Bristol.
349
00:21:09,228 --> 00:21:12,898
A lot of people didn't think
this was a very good situation for him.
350
00:21:13,815 --> 00:21:15,901
I saw the group he was around.
351
00:21:17,277 --> 00:21:19,738
I had plenty conversations with him
352
00:21:19,738 --> 00:21:24,034
about him removing himself
from certain individuals.
353
00:21:27,454 --> 00:21:30,123
"You in a different world now,
you don't need to do all that."
354
00:21:30,999 --> 00:21:34,920
You know, outside altercations
and all this other craziness.
355
00:21:35,671 --> 00:21:38,465
Like, "Aaron, that's stupid." But...
356
00:21:38,465 --> 00:21:43,637
he still somehow couldn't separate himself
from... that dark side.
357
00:21:51,436 --> 00:21:53,355
{\an8}Investigators
are looking for clues
358
00:21:53,355 --> 00:21:57,067
{\an8}in the mysterious death
of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd.
359
00:21:58,402 --> 00:22:02,072
{\an8}The body of Odin Lloyd
was found Monday in an industrial park.
360
00:22:02,698 --> 00:22:06,285
{\an8}The 27-year-old
was killed execution-style
361
00:22:06,285 --> 00:22:11,164
{\an8}just a mile from Patriots tight end
Aaron Hernandez's million-dollar mansion.
362
00:22:12,624 --> 00:22:16,211
{\an8}Police swarmed
Aaron Hernandez's home Tuesday evening.
363
00:22:16,211 --> 00:22:19,798
{\an8}Investigators are not calling him
a suspect in this investigation,
364
00:22:19,798 --> 00:22:22,843
but they did find an SUV
near the crime scene
365
00:22:22,843 --> 00:22:25,012
that led them to his doorstep.
366
00:22:27,431 --> 00:22:28,724
{\an8}They didn't take him in.
367
00:22:28,724 --> 00:22:31,435
{\an8}You know, just came and stopped by,
questioned him.
368
00:22:32,436 --> 00:22:36,273
{\an8}Didn't have too much communication
with Aaron about this stuff.
369
00:22:36,273 --> 00:22:38,400
It was just more like, "Are you good?"
370
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,027
I do recall him saying...
371
00:22:41,737 --> 00:22:43,864
"Yeah, man,
this stuff gonna blow over, it's fine."
372
00:22:44,948 --> 00:22:46,575
It's so wild how...
373
00:22:50,621 --> 00:22:53,207
...how fast everything just changed.
374
00:22:54,374 --> 00:22:57,377
{\an8}The ongoing investigation
has created a frenzy
375
00:22:57,377 --> 00:22:59,046
{\an8}outside of Hernandez's home.
376
00:22:59,588 --> 00:23:02,090
{\an8}ABC News is reporting
that the 23-year-old
377
00:23:02,090 --> 00:23:05,093
{\an8}intentionally destroyed
his sophisticated home security system
378
00:23:05,093 --> 00:23:09,640
{\an8}and smashed his cell phone before handing
over the fragments to investigators.
379
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,352
{\an8}Police have found a video
that shows Aaron and the victim
380
00:23:13,352 --> 00:23:16,396
{\an8}together Monday morning
after a night of going out.
381
00:23:16,396 --> 00:23:18,857
All the arrows are starting
to point in his direction,
382
00:23:18,857 --> 00:23:21,610
and it's not a good sign
for the Patriots' star tight end.
383
00:23:21,610 --> 00:23:23,028
What happened on Monday night?
384
00:23:23,028 --> 00:23:25,197
{\an8}Can you just tell us what happened
on Monday night?
385
00:23:25,197 --> 00:23:27,074
Are you involved in the murder at all?
386
00:23:27,074 --> 00:23:29,868
{\an8}Anything you want to say?
Are you being arrested?
387
00:23:30,744 --> 00:23:32,788
The embattled Patriots tight end
388
00:23:32,788 --> 00:23:35,457
spent much of Thursday away from home.
389
00:23:35,457 --> 00:23:38,252
First, he drove to Gillette Stadium.
390
00:23:38,252 --> 00:23:41,505
Next, Hernandez hustled
into the facility.
391
00:23:46,385 --> 00:23:50,180
I found out he was working out
in the weight room.
392
00:23:50,931 --> 00:23:56,353
{\an8}I went down immediately and I said,
"Aaron, tell me, did you do this?
393
00:23:56,353 --> 00:24:01,108
{\an8}Because if you did,
I know you must have had some good reason.
394
00:24:01,108 --> 00:24:04,945
{\an8}I'm gonna get you the best
defense lawyer we can get
395
00:24:04,945 --> 00:24:07,155
and I'll do it at my cost."
396
00:24:07,155 --> 00:24:10,534
And he looked me right in the eye,
397
00:24:10,534 --> 00:24:14,121
not blinking or anything, and said,
398
00:24:14,121 --> 00:24:19,543
"Mr. Kraft, I didn't do that.
I was in Rhode Island," or something.
399
00:24:19,543 --> 00:24:23,088
And when he said it, I believed him.
400
00:24:23,630 --> 00:24:28,010
He actually changed my life,
and how I look at people because...
401
00:24:29,511 --> 00:24:32,723
...it just... I...
402
00:24:32,723 --> 00:24:34,183
To this day...
403
00:24:35,434 --> 00:24:38,729
...I can't believe
I got snookered like that.
404
00:24:41,940 --> 00:24:45,360
{\an8}Aaron Hernandez
was charged with murder today.
405
00:24:46,195 --> 00:24:49,698
He was signing a $40 million contract
with the Patriots,
406
00:24:49,698 --> 00:24:54,036
had this amazing future in front of him.
It boggles the mind.
407
00:24:56,038 --> 00:24:59,791
Aaron was being led
out of his house in handcuffs,
408
00:24:59,791 --> 00:25:02,794
and it was on television everywhere.
409
00:25:03,629 --> 00:25:07,925
{\an8}And I just remember thinking, whatever
warm feelings we might have towards Aaron,
410
00:25:07,925 --> 00:25:10,594
{\an8}it looks like
he's done the ultimate bad thing
411
00:25:10,594 --> 00:25:14,348
{\an8}and he can't...
We can't have him on our team anymore.
412
00:25:14,348 --> 00:25:17,559
I'll... No, that's ridiculous.
I'll find out about that.
413
00:25:17,559 --> 00:25:21,688
At that time, my dad
and Bill were both out of the country,
414
00:25:21,688 --> 00:25:23,941
but I felt strongly we couldn't wait.
415
00:25:25,025 --> 00:25:28,612
And so I called my dad
and he very much agreed.
416
00:25:28,612 --> 00:25:30,155
And we called Bill.
417
00:25:30,155 --> 00:25:32,491
And, you know, Bill, as is his wont,
418
00:25:32,491 --> 00:25:35,911
was always more measured.
In the beginning, he said,
419
00:25:35,911 --> 00:25:37,538
"You know, he's not guilty yet."
420
00:25:37,538 --> 00:25:40,624
And there were competitive issues too.
421
00:25:41,250 --> 00:25:44,545
He didn't want to have to lose
an amazing football player.
422
00:25:45,546 --> 00:25:49,299
So, Bill's instinct would be,
play this fucking thing out till the end.
423
00:25:49,299 --> 00:25:52,511
And I just knew
we couldn't play it out till the end.
424
00:25:52,511 --> 00:25:55,722
And not 'cause of how it looked on us,
425
00:25:55,722 --> 00:25:58,350
but because we had to set
a fucking example.
426
00:25:58,350 --> 00:26:00,561
I mean, like, it's like,
"This guy's a murderer."
427
00:26:02,020 --> 00:26:03,689
It was moments after he was arrested
428
00:26:03,689 --> 00:26:06,108
that he was then cut
as the team severed ties,
429
00:26:06,108 --> 00:26:09,027
{\an8}but there seemed to have been
so many red flags.
430
00:26:09,027 --> 00:26:12,531
{\an8}This was a guy who basically had
the devil on one shoulder
431
00:26:12,531 --> 00:26:15,909
and all along they knew
the devil could win out.
432
00:26:15,909 --> 00:26:19,621
The Patriots will certainly
be asked what the team knew then,
433
00:26:19,621 --> 00:26:21,790
and did they look the other way?
434
00:26:37,514 --> 00:26:38,765
Okay...
435
00:26:40,517 --> 00:26:44,229
...I'm gonna address the situation
involving Aaron Hernandez today.
436
00:26:44,229 --> 00:26:46,440
{\an8}Having someone in your organization
437
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,861
{\an8}that's involved in a murder investigation
is a terrible thing.
438
00:26:51,778 --> 00:26:56,283
And our thoughts and prayers
are with the family of the victim,
439
00:26:56,867 --> 00:27:02,497
and I extend my sympathy, really,
to everyone who's been impacted.
440
00:27:02,497 --> 00:27:05,501
It's time for the New England Patriots
to move forward and...
441
00:27:06,668 --> 00:27:08,587
...be a team
that our fans can be proud of.
442
00:27:09,463 --> 00:27:11,089
That's what we're here for.
443
00:27:12,090 --> 00:27:15,636
Bob Kraft has said he feels duped
by Aaron Hernandez.
444
00:27:15,636 --> 00:27:17,763
Do you personally feel duped?
445
00:27:19,014 --> 00:27:21,391
Yeah, I'll refrain from making
any more comments
446
00:27:21,391 --> 00:27:26,813
on any ongoing people involved in...
judicial process.
447
00:27:26,813 --> 00:27:28,732
Isn't this the time to do that, though?
448
00:27:28,732 --> 00:27:29,983
You're not in the season yet.
449
00:27:29,983 --> 00:27:32,569
Wouldn't this be the time,
if ever, to do it?
450
00:27:32,569 --> 00:27:34,363
But I can't do it.
451
00:27:34,363 --> 00:27:36,615
Could you face
any implications or penalties?
452
00:27:36,615 --> 00:27:37,699
Thank you.
453
00:27:39,451 --> 00:27:43,247
Aaron Hernandez, basically,
became dead to the Patriots.
454
00:27:44,456 --> 00:27:46,583
All right guys, go easy now.
455
00:27:48,836 --> 00:27:52,339
Bill Belichick told his players,
"He's not to be spoken of any more.
456
00:27:52,339 --> 00:27:55,717
He's not part of this team.
We're moving on."
457
00:27:56,385 --> 00:27:59,054
It's a fresh start for...
you know, all of us.
458
00:27:59,054 --> 00:28:03,559
{\an8}I know this last six weeks have been,
you know, distracting for a lot of people.
459
00:28:03,559 --> 00:28:07,020
{\an8}But we're gonna to try to move forward
as best we know how.
460
00:28:07,020 --> 00:28:10,566
But there were still
so many questions that were unanswered.
461
00:28:12,067 --> 00:28:15,988
{\an8}So, the Globe Spotlight Team spent a year
diving into every aspect of Aaron's life.
462
00:28:17,072 --> 00:28:19,950
We found that long before
the murder of Odin Lloyd,
463
00:28:19,950 --> 00:28:23,370
Aaron Hernandez was sinking
into a turbulent, troubled,
464
00:28:23,370 --> 00:28:25,831
really volatile and violent world.
465
00:28:29,710 --> 00:28:31,628
{\an8}In July of 2012,
466
00:28:31,628 --> 00:28:34,798
{\an8}Aaron Hernandez
is in downtown Boston at a club.
467
00:28:35,674 --> 00:28:39,386
He's out with his drug-dealing buddy
from Bristol, Connecticut.
468
00:28:40,304 --> 00:28:43,056
Hernandez and his friend leave that club
469
00:28:43,056 --> 00:28:46,226
and come up next to this car
with two guys in it
470
00:28:46,226 --> 00:28:50,480
who Hernandez believes
disrespected him inside the club,
471
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:51,857
and they opened fire.
472
00:28:52,482 --> 00:28:55,861
{\an8}Witnesses tell police
that a silver SUV pulled up to a car,
473
00:28:55,861 --> 00:28:58,322
firing eight to ten fatal shots.
474
00:28:59,740 --> 00:29:01,658
They escaped law enforcement.
475
00:29:01,658 --> 00:29:06,163
But Aaron's paranoia is increasing,
his drug use is increasing,
476
00:29:06,163 --> 00:29:08,916
and he asked to meet with Bill Belichick.
477
00:29:10,626 --> 00:29:16,131
Aaron told him that his girlfriend
and his daughter's safety was in jeopardy.
478
00:29:17,049 --> 00:29:18,467
Belichick asked Hernandez
479
00:29:18,467 --> 00:29:21,512
if he wanted help from
the security department of the Patriots,
480
00:29:21,512 --> 00:29:23,430
and Hernandez said, "No, thank you."
481
00:29:24,181 --> 00:29:28,519
Instead, he asked Bill Belichick
to trade him to a team on the West Coast
482
00:29:28,519 --> 00:29:31,188
so he'd get away from New England.
Just get away.
483
00:29:32,189 --> 00:29:34,816
But Belichick said no to Aaron Hernandez.
484
00:29:36,026 --> 00:29:38,111
At the 2013 combine,
485
00:29:38,111 --> 00:29:42,115
Aaron Hernandez asked to be traded
to a West Coast team,
486
00:29:42,115 --> 00:29:45,202
saying that he feared
for his family's lives.
487
00:29:45,202 --> 00:29:47,246
What did you do with that information?
488
00:29:49,331 --> 00:29:52,125
You know,
it's an unfortunate situation about Aaron,
489
00:29:52,125 --> 00:29:54,086
and I don't have anything to add to it.
490
00:29:56,296 --> 00:29:58,090
Bill Belichick has never fully explained
491
00:29:58,090 --> 00:30:00,884
why he didn't trade Aaron Hernandez,
492
00:30:00,884 --> 00:30:04,263
but it was probably because the team
had just invested all this money in him,
493
00:30:04,263 --> 00:30:05,931
because he was still a great player.
494
00:30:07,808 --> 00:30:10,894
{\an8}This embodies what we call Football Inc.,
495
00:30:10,894 --> 00:30:16,483
{\an8}which is a cold, corporate enterprise
that just wants to win.
496
00:30:17,401 --> 00:30:21,405
And in this case,
a young man ends up dead.
497
00:30:24,116 --> 00:30:25,868
I don't think anybody really knows
498
00:30:25,868 --> 00:30:28,495
why Aaron Hernandez killed Odin Lloyd.
499
00:30:29,371 --> 00:30:32,249
Odin Lloyd was a semi-pro
football player in Boston.
500
00:30:33,667 --> 00:30:36,670
Odin and Aaron had some common interests.
501
00:30:36,670 --> 00:30:40,465
They loved football,
they liked to go out and party,
502
00:30:40,465 --> 00:30:42,885
but there is no evidence
that Odin Lloyd was involved
503
00:30:42,885 --> 00:30:46,346
in the criminal behavior
that Aaron Hernandez was involved in.
504
00:30:47,389 --> 00:30:49,308
He was a warm-hearted guy.
505
00:30:50,184 --> 00:30:51,435
People loved him.
506
00:30:52,269 --> 00:30:53,896
It hit hard when he died.
507
00:31:07,993 --> 00:31:11,580
Hundreds of people came out
to mourn 27-year-old Odin Lloyd.
508
00:31:11,580 --> 00:31:13,749
The semi-pro football player
509
00:31:13,749 --> 00:31:16,543
was remembered
by family, friends and teammates.
510
00:31:18,378 --> 00:31:20,214
He was my strength.
511
00:31:20,214 --> 00:31:22,382
I love him dearly.
512
00:31:23,091 --> 00:31:25,802
Our hearts and prayer go out
to those families.
513
00:31:26,345 --> 00:31:30,265
It's just a sad story,
it's a sad ending, a sad story.
514
00:31:32,976 --> 00:31:36,522
{\an8}These are the live pictures
you're seeing back in the courtroom.
515
00:31:37,689 --> 00:31:41,109
Aaron Hernandez
obviously awaiting his fate.
516
00:31:41,109 --> 00:31:44,154
Members of the jury, upon your oaths,
517
00:31:44,154 --> 00:31:46,782
you do state that the defendant,
Aaron Hernandez,
518
00:31:46,782 --> 00:31:49,451
is guilty of murder in the first degree.
519
00:31:49,451 --> 00:31:51,870
Guilty of murder in the first degree.
520
00:31:54,039 --> 00:31:57,251
Aaron...
what were you thinking, bro?
521
00:31:57,835 --> 00:31:59,670
What did you think was gonna happen?
522
00:32:01,088 --> 00:32:02,756
If you decide to do this...
523
00:32:03,632 --> 00:32:06,134
...like, really,
what do you think is gonna happen?
524
00:32:07,386 --> 00:32:09,429
It just don't make sense, man.
525
00:32:14,142 --> 00:32:16,728
We knew he wasn't the ideal citizen,
526
00:32:16,728 --> 00:32:18,856
but did we ever suspect
527
00:32:18,856 --> 00:32:22,860
this is a guy who's gonna be running
around with guns, shooting people? No.
528
00:32:24,278 --> 00:32:27,239
Aaron was obviously
a very talented player,
529
00:32:27,239 --> 00:32:28,991
and he got a big contract,
530
00:32:28,991 --> 00:32:32,411
{\an8}which in retrospect,
no, we shouldn't have done that.
531
00:32:32,411 --> 00:32:35,497
Probably the best thing
for Aaron Hernandez's pro football career
532
00:32:35,497 --> 00:32:38,166
and his life might have been
to go to the Seattle Seahawks.
533
00:32:40,002 --> 00:32:43,589
Not be within a two-hour drive
of people he grew up with
534
00:32:43,589 --> 00:32:45,799
from his hometown of Bristol.
535
00:32:47,217 --> 00:32:49,052
You know, someone got killed.
536
00:32:49,928 --> 00:32:52,973
A young person lost his life
because of Aaron Hernandez.
537
00:32:57,269 --> 00:32:59,521
When we bought the team,
538
00:32:59,521 --> 00:33:03,942
I said that we could make a difference
in our community,
539
00:33:03,942 --> 00:33:05,986
and make things better.
540
00:33:07,863 --> 00:33:10,574
We didn't in this case.
541
00:33:15,704 --> 00:33:21,168
There are parents who wake up
every day without their sons.
542
00:33:23,587 --> 00:33:27,716
And a young daughter without her father.
543
00:33:32,679 --> 00:33:34,973
We messed up on this one,
544
00:33:34,973 --> 00:33:38,227
and for those of you who feel pain,
545
00:33:38,227 --> 00:33:39,811
I apologize.
