Potential Aaron Hernandez Trial Juror Wears Patriots Hat In Court, Dismissed For Obvious Reason

One New England Patriots fan didn’t bother pretending to be impartial in Aaron Hernandez’s looming double-murder trial. A potential juror in Hernandez’s trial wore a New England Patriots hat to Suffolk Superior Court on Tuesday, according to The Boston Herald’s Laurel J. Sweet.

Emotional Luke Kuechly Carted Off Field After Suffering Scary-Looking Injury

Panthers superstar linebacker Luke Kuechly was carted off the field with under five minutes remaining in the game and was evaluated for a concussion after suffering a horrific-looking injury. It appeared as though Saints running back Tim Hightower inadvertently hit Kuechly in the head with his own helmet as he was being tackled.
