It’s a question all of America has been asking for going on 12 years now.
And the mystery only deepened when Hernandez took his own life in prison in April of 2017.
There have been many hypotheses.
It was his upbringing in a bad neighborhood in Bristol, CT.
He got involved in gangs and never put that life behind him.
It was mental illness.
Perhaps brought on by CTE.
The Apple+ seriesThe Dynastydid everything it could to make Bill Belichick look like an unindicted conspirator.
But thanks to the series finale of FX’sAmerican Sports Story, we may have finally cracked this case.
According to this, the guilty party is Kirk Minihane.
I mean, it’s all here.
The performances are so dead-nuts accurate you find yourself wondering how Murphy got Kirk and Callahan to play themselves.
The Masshole accents are the finest we’ve heard since Martin Sheen kept saying “miycrow-prahcessahs” inThe Departed.
Anyway, it looks like we’ve got Minihane involved in solving yet another True Crime mystery.
It’s just that this time, it’s as the killer.
