Gotta say this organization is light years ahead of the other teams.. This is why I don't fear the day when BB leaves.. The Krafts have done an excellent job making this team competitive..

"Lotteries often are described as a tax on the poor and/or the stupid. And for good reason. Every time I visit the local convenience store, folks arrive in beat up old vehicles (including a ‘68 VW bus), and they somehow find a way to consistently plunk down ten bucks — five for a pack of cigarettes, and five for a fi(Please be quiet - edited)l of scratch-and-lose tickets."

I agree. Saw it myself just this morning.
Why is the evil billionaire Kraft exploiting the poor and stupid?

What do you mean. One day I will be a millionaire when I win the lottery.

They always say that lottery tickets are taxation on the stupid. And boy am I dumb.

Once BB retires from coaching, I bet Kraft will hire BB as GM

Scratch tickets are a big revenue source in Mass. - much more so than in other states (I believe they actually have much better payouts than other states too.)

My guess would be that the Mass Lottery approached the Patriots who in turn sought NFL approval prompting the rule change - hence no surprised that the Mass. Lottery would waste no time in moving forward.

That would be a brutal blow to the league.
