Kraft buys full-page ad in Globe congratulating Celts - New England Patriots Forums

Another classy move by Bobby Kraft. I wonder if he bought ad space in the Herald?

Somehow, I don't think the Celtics would have done the same. Actually, I don't think any other team would have done the same. Now, I guess they'll have to.

Very cool,I like the Herald comment also...

I remember this happening before....I believe Kraft did it for the Red Sox. but it could have been done for them as well.

Just my opinion, but I completely doubt the Sox or Celtics would do the same had the Pats completed 19-0. The town used to only be about the Sox and Celtics, until the Pats took over this decade. I'm sure that means lost money for the other sports.

Like I said I can remember it happening before....but it most likely was Kraft doing it for the Sox. But as I do remember this happening in the past I can't completely rule out that the Sox didn't do it for the Pats.

We've come to expect no less from this family. Mr. Kraft is a class act.

10/30/2007 Boston HERALD - full page add by the Kraft family saluting the Red Sox. I have it right in front of me.

Wonder if they will do it for the Celts?? I don;t buy the Herald anymore so if anyone can look, that would be interesting.

I had no doubt that Kraft did it for the Sox.

The doubt is wether another team did it for the Pats. I vaguely remember the Sox doing it but my memory has failed me before.

If Kraft is the only one to do it....I wonder if him being a home grown owner explains it.

I am sure he was routing for the Sox and Celts back in his days in sec 210 or where ever he sat in Schaefer
