The New England Patriots and their fans may have done their best to forget about Aaron Hernandez, but he hasn't forgotten about them. Serving a life sentence at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center for the murder of Odin Lloyd, Hernandez apparently still keeps close tabs on quarterback Tom Brady, tight end Rob Gronkowski and Patriots owner Robert Kraft.
A prison letter obtained and published by TMZ this week explores Hernandez's deep and abiding love for Brady and Gronk, as well as the unbridled fury he holds within himself for Kraft. Per TMZ, Hernandez opens the note by suggesting a myriad of ways the woman he's writing to can kill herself. Thanks, Aaron! Then he gets onto the Pats:
"I have a TV in my cell! And yes I still root for my squad and still love all the ones I loved," Hernandez wrote. "The closest I was with was probably Brady and whom I love to death and always will and only hope the best for them. But was cool with Julez, Branch (I f**ked with and got mad love for) and 'the BEST TE ever to walk on a football field' Gronk!"
Kraft, lucky guy that he is, seems to hold a truly special place in Hernandez's heart. The former Patriot tight end considers Kraft "fake" and "non-loyal," and lamented Kraft telling Hernandez that he loved him though, through his actions, Kraft "shows his word ain't sh*t."
But fear not, Pats fans. Hernandez won't give up on the team. He's a Patriot through and through, until the bitter end.
"I watch every game faithfully cheering them on and always will cuz I have love for so many of them!"
