Aaron Hernandez's legal team made a motion to suppress evidence that they say was seized without a valid search warrant, but the judge in the case denied the motion earlier this week.
Photos and surveillance video from inside Hernandez’s home were part of the evidence list released by the prosecution and the material, apparently, shows him with a gun just hours after Odin Lloyd’s murder in 2013.
Text messages between Hernandez and Patriots coach Bill Belichick were also part of the evidence.
Belichick gave investigators a written statement after Hernandez’s arrest as did Pats owner Robert Kraft.
Here's the latest on a lot of different stuff

In another development, Hernandez's cousin Tanya Singleton pleaded guilty to a criminal contempt charge. Prosecutors had apparently granted her immunity and Singleton refused to testify before the Hernandez grand jury.

While You Were Celebrating: Texans Hire Bill O'Brien
There's a really good chance, unless you stayed home Tuesday night you missed the revelation that the Houston Texans have hired a new coach.That coach, Bill O'Brien, now formerly of Penn State and previous to that, 5-years as a disciple of the Belichick, in the New England Patriots system.
O'Brien became THE hot coaching commodity after steering Penn State to a 15-9 record over the past 2-years despite a loss of scholarships and the general craziness surrounding the school in the fallout after the Jerry Sanduksy scandal.
The Texans, with 2-hours to spare in 2013, secured their immediate future in 2014, as O'Brien will become their 3rd head coach ever.
Read more about the hire from Chron.com RIGHT HERE
O'Brien does not have a lengthy background as a head coach. His 5-years in the NFL were as an assistant and the Penn State job was his first leading a team. The consensus by most was that he'd be ready for the task and with Houston, he inherits a team that has the coming years #1 draft pick. The Texans were expected to be a playoff and possibly a Super Bowl contender, but the season was a complete and total failure which led to the dismissal of Gary Kubiak. In addition, he goes to a franchise considered one of the best run in the league.
The team is expected to make a formal announcement of the hire by Friday.

But Patriots beat writer Andy Hart doesn't buy the assessment...especially the Belichick part...
((HT: CSNNE.com))
According to the article, Hernandez met with his head coach in February thinking he was in over his head. He went to California to rehab his shoulder, but stood up Tom Brady at a receiver camp and skipped appointments with his therapist.

Belichick Addresses Hernandez For The First (And Only) Time, Probable Cause Hearing Postponed Simultaneously
New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick addressed the whole Aaron Hernandez situation from the Patriots viewpoint for the first and only time- strangely, while Hernandez was undergoing a probable cause postponement hearing (what it looked like on the right from NFL Network's Albert Breer and his Twitter)
.
And Michael McCann, on his Twitter, makes an excellent point in all of this:
Great pt by my fmr boss MT @brianheff77 Pats likely planned BB press conf to coincide w/court hearing. Kept crime reporters out of Foxboro.
Belichick, much like families that disown their relatives, only mentioned Hernandez's name in his introduction.
"I've been advised to address the subject once. And it's time for the New England Patriots to move forward. Ultimately, the judge and the jury will determine accountability," Belichick admitted to the press while reading a fairly-lengthy statement in a 22-minmute press conference ( a long presser for Belichickian standards, anyway).
Watch it in full hyah, thanks to the NFL Network
Here's an excerpt from the opening statement, thanks to Boston.com
"It's a sad day. It's really a sad day on so many levels," Belichick said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the family with the victim. I express my sympathy with everyone that's been impacted. "A young man has lost his life, a family has suffered a tragic loss." Belichick admitted that he was out of the country twice when the investigation started and was continued. "I and other members of our organization were shocked and disappointed in what we'd learned, having someone in the organization that is involved in a murder investigation," he said. "And after consultation with ownership we acted swiftly and decisively." He also said that they will look at their evaluation process when it comes to draft picks and whether or not they fit the Patriots way and mindset. Belichick admitted that guns have been a concern in the league since he first came into it back in 1975. Meanwhile, Boston authorities think he may have ties to the July 2012 murder of two others that we have talked about in the past here at OSG Sports. Here's Justin Michaels covering both ((HT: NECN))

Tebow Speaks From Prepared Text... Belichick Puts Choke On Tebowmania
((HT: CSNNE))
Ah... the first day the man shows up on campus, and his head coach tries to choke the life out of the process...
No place like New England...
No questions taken, but The Tebow did sayeth quote:
"First and foremost I just want to thank the Patriots for giving me an opportunity," Tebow said. "I'm very thankful. It's such an honor to be a Patriot and play for coach [Bill] Belichick and for coach [Josh] McDaniels, and learn under Tom [Brady] and be a part of this franchise -- part of a very successful franchise. I found that out first hand; I lost to them several times. It's going to be a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to working hard every single day and getting better, and learning under some great people."
"That's all I've got, but thank y'all so much. And God bless."
Gah-bless...
The lessons are: Only talk about yourself in exceedingly generic tones, don't talk about teammates or the opposition, and do what the coach says...
Gah-bless...

Tim Tebow Resurfaces in New England: Followers Rejoice
Well, you knew someone would eventually take the plunge. And if it had to be anywhere, New England is probably the best place for all concerned.According to multiple reports, Tim Tebow, the most popular back-up quarterback in NFL history will sign a deal with the New England Patriots and is expected in mini-camp Tuesday.
Tebow, who brings a lot of baggage and hyperbole (mostly by ESPN) with him, was let go by the New York Jets back in April. And he'll be reunited with the man who drafted him--New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels.
There's been some discussion back and forth about whether anyone would take a flyer on the former 1st round pick who barely, if at all played for the Jets in 2012 after his much publicized signing. Patriots coach Bill Belichick according to some reports, allegedly was telling people "No Way" he'd take on Tebow.
Well, that's all changed. And honestly, we're happy for the guy. Of all the places in the NFL he could have landed, this is probably the best. You know that while the 4-Letter word (ESPN) will be all over Patriots camp, if anyone can control the circus that is Tebow, it's Belichick.
And you know darn well nobody--well, maybe Skip Bayless, will be calling for Tebow to play instead of Tom Brady. And realistically, if the guy ever has a chance at being a pro quarterback, who better to learn from than Brady.
We wish both sides luck, the Patriots will need a lot of patience this summer and the Tebow-maniacs will get there wish, he's back in the NFL.

NFL Ref lockout COULD be over and Bill Belichick out $50K
You know, possibly the only "Lockout" that may be stupider than this is the NHL. Though the NHL wouldn't be drawing this kind of publicity.
According to reports all over the Interwebs, the NFL and the NFLRA are on the cusp of an agreement that would put the professional refs back out on the field with the professional players. The only question is when.
Depending on which expert you believe, they could be back by Sunday's games. That may not help Cleveland and Baltimore, but hey, somebody has to take one for the team...right?
Reports say there are still some disagreements about money and some resentment over the league's insistence that there be a Ref "Taxi Squad" available for use. And yeah, we get the premise that the staff guys don't want to change their potential replacements.
Though the NFL doesn't seem to care, they've been ABUSED in the court of public opinion. The mistakes, the coaches attacking the replacement refs and the complaints from the players have all made it look like the league is sacrificing the game for a couple of bucks. Bucks the multi-billion dollar league can easily afford.
Oh....and for what it's worth, the league fined Bill Belichick for his grabbing of the ref in last Sunday's game too. That fine...$50,000.

Rex Ryan to play Patriots fan in movie: No...really
((ht: nydailynews.com))
We couldn't avoid mentioning this though we truly believe Rex Ryan is a blowhard.
The outspoken New York Jets head coach, who has gone on record multiple times voicing his hate for the New England Patriots, will apparently be playing the role of a hardcore Patriots fan in an upcoming Adam Sandler movie.
The movie, "I hate you Dad" was shot last summer and Ryan, who is pals with Sandler was asked to play the role of a lawyer who helps Sandler out during the film.
The whole discussion came about during NFL Network anchor Rich Eisen's podcast on Thursday.
Read the NYDaily News story RIGHT HERE
We mention this story only for the irony stated here. It appears Ryan has to say lots of nice things about Bill Belichick and Tom Brady, something he doesn't necessarily do during the football season.
No, it isn't exactly a movie we'll be clamoring to go see and if Sandler's recent track record holds, very few others will as well. Though it would be interesting to see if the Patriots might have a little fun with some of the movie clips, once it does finally come out...next year.
Bet you didn't know Sandler got his start on MTV, as a part of the show Remote Control. Enjoy--Stud Boy:

Bill Belichick Not A Fan Of Extra Points
Those of us in the OSG HQ know that New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is a man of few words. Mostly an icy glare.
Monday on his weekly radio show on WEEI in Boston Belichick shared his total dislike for the extra point.
You can listen by clicking on the link below. At 4:47 Belichick talks about "non-plays" and the extra point.
http://audio.weei.com/a/44006796/bill-belichick-on-the-progress-being-made-in-training-camp-and-in-the-preseason-games.htm
"Extra points, when the odds are in the 99 percent range, it is not a play." Belichick said. "Let's move the ball back to the 15-20 yard line and not make it a tap-in."
Does Belichick take back those comments should he win or lose a game by a point?
