Kraft answers nun’s prayers 01:00 AM EDT on Sunday, August 26, 2007
BARRINGTON — If ever there was a “Sunday story,” this is it.
Actually, the story begins with another story that appeared in The Sunday Journal last month about a group of Carmelite nuns who included in their daily prayers their favorite football team, the New England Patriots, and the team owner, Robert Kraft.
A friend of the nuns sent a copy of that story to Kraft, who then sent…well, let Sister Susan Lumb tell it:
“One morning,” she said, “I was called to the front door of the monastery to see a man that I was told was from the Patriots organization. I thought it was a joke, that a friend was pulling my leg.”
It was no joke.
“The man had been sent to deliver six tickets, along with a ‘VIP’ parking pass, to the Tennessee game,” she said.

As the Curly Haired Boy from the Globe might say, this was a 'Hail Mary' by the profit maximizer Kraft. A pre-season game priced at mid-season rates, Kraft was only trying to wine and dine the nuns to keep the faith with the large Catholic New England fan base. Why else would Sister Normagene mention 'Bingo' Brown? Where does it end? Bringing in Priest Holmes for a physical? Resigning Michael Bishop? Scheduling the Arizona Cardinals or the New Orleans Saints for an annual pre-season game?
There's no doubt . . . the nun story is black and white. This publicity stunt was Kraft kneeling at the altar of profits. For Patriot Nation, this could be the 'Curse of the Kraftino'.
You don't think he was trying to hit on the sisters, do you?

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck." RAH
Well, that keeps both sides of the Cat household very happy. (Insert deity of choice, or other explanation for creation of world, here) is great.
Bob is a really good bloke. In fact, I would like to go on record as saying that I think he is really, really nice and generous. I REALLY like him. (It's worth a try)
