“I’m going to address the situation involving Aaron Hernandez today. I felt that it was important enough to do that prior to the start of camp.

It’s a sad day, really a sad day on so many levels. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the victim and I extend my sympathy really to everyone who has been impacted. A young man lost his life. His family has suffered a tragic loss and there’s no way to understate that.”
