Here’s a piece of free advice for all you young, aspiring bloggers out there.
And believe me, it’ll be worth every penny.
That is why I didn’t post about Jabrill Peppers getting charged with domestic violence back in late September.
We don’t know the first thing about what happens in famous people’s private lives.
And to opine on it?
That way lies madness.
…
[W]hy wouldnt the Patriots hold off until the legal process played out?
Why roll the dice that he wont be convicted?
…
Are the Patriots that desperate, or do they know something we dont?
The answer falls in line with the latter.
Peppers, who took questions from the media Thursday, indicated he had spoken with team owner Robert Kraft.
His name was Christian Peter, a DT who had been charged with assaulting his girlfriend while at Nebraska.
This was in 1996, the same draft that caused the rift between the Krafts and Bill Parcells.
And throwing away a 5th round pick on a moral principle didn’t help their relationship one damned bit.
More famously on his watch, the Pats released Aaron Hernandez long before his due process had even begun.
Their opinion; not mine.
It certainly can’t be because they think they have to have him.
In the first five games without him, that number shot up to 144.6.
And his Pro Football Focus defensive grade of 82.9 is highest by anyone with more than eight total snaps.
So yeah, Pepper counts for a lot.
So take note, kids.
This is how you walk through the minefield of a DV blog.
All I want is for justice to be done in the courts.
And for the Patriots to look capable of winning a game again.
If Jabrill Peppers can get both, we all win.
