Aldon Smith was arrested at LAX claiming he was carrying a bomb. SF has got to cut this guy.
On the other hand, he's really fucking good.
You don't think I'm going to post here sober, do you?  ???

I have embraced my Benny Franko side. I'm sleazy.

So is Aaron Hernandez, but at what point is it not worth it?  For me that line is making bomb claims at LAX.  I can no longer trust him to exercise good judgement, which is an important trait in my mind.

Aaron Hernandez is going to jail for a long, long time. Aldon Smith probably won't see jail time (in my non-lawyer opinion).

Irrelevant.  Neither can be trusted at this point to make good decisions.

Nope. I am not saying they are the same type of bad decision. What I am saying is, "There are two good football players who I would not trust to have on my team."

Not sorry to see him go.  He is a pretty terrible person, and this certainly is not the first time.

Having said that, I am a little concerned about the fact it was a private conversation being recorded.  I would imagine his mistress violated the law unless she disclaimed prior to the conversation that she was recording it.  Everyone says things in private that they wouldn't in public.  Imagine if you were judged on some of the things you have said to your friends in a private setting.

Fair enough.  Fortunately, I am not a sincere racist, only a facetious one.  I am pretty sure in Canada this situation would not be a violation of any law.  Any party in a conversation is welcome to record it without consent, only a third party must disclose it... I think.  I am going to check.

EDIT: In Canada, there is "one-party consent". In California it is illegal, so I expect a whopping lawsuit heading her way, knowing who Donald Sterling is.
