The Patriots have become the poster child for "PR Nightmare."
Lawsuits like something against the Herald take years to form and execute. The court of public opinion has already hung BB and the Pats so all I want to do is go win some football games.
Patriots.com should just stop putting links to the Herald.

Boston is too small of a corporate community. Robert Kraft is not suing Patrick Purcell any time soon. He would put every corporate executive in the charity circuit in the awkward position of choosing sides, and that's not something the Kraft family would ever want to do. The Herald is still stinging from the Judge Murphy libel case, and I don't see the Patriots looking to pile on and put the Herald into bankruptcy. It would hurt the Patriots if there were only one viable major daily newspaper

I'm guessing the Patriots hope that they'll get more bang out of the ***** cat reporting that John Tomase will be doing for the next year or two. Here's a game for you all on this board for the 2008 season: Count the Boston Globe scoops.

I agree. That press release was kind of odd in that it only 100% addressed the damaging Herald article. Almost as if the Patriots organization is building a book of evidence ...

I don't think they will do anything soon, as others have mentioned, but I also don't think they are going to let the situation completely disappear.
