Blasting a fellow Pats fan because he doesn't happen to agree with everything you say... What's worse is the "likes", you guys are cowards even when you don't have to talk face to face.

Normally the internet is perfect for cowards that want to talk big that can't do it in the real world. You "like" chicks, are too afraid to even do that.

Also, i hate the Steelers, but you cant knock their ownership. They have the MOST SB wins ever. Anyone that disputes that are the real "ignorant" fans.
We're not blasting you because you disagree with us, we're blasting you because you're making baseless accusations. Post up some examples of questionable things Kraft has done recently and then we can have a discussion, ad hominem attacks aren't really getting it done for you.

How about this, i'll stick with my guns because i believe an owner should be seen NOT heard.

Nothing any of you say will change that. IMO Kraft is an amazing owner (i've already said this), i just think he should stop talking (i've already said this too), i don't think it requires any more explanation. It should be a fairly easy concept to grasp.
I believe that you should not be heard.

Awesome...
BradyFTW! is a longstanding and respected poster here. You're brand new and trolling.

I'm sure you can understand why one of you would get a bit more leeway than the other.

You couldn't have gotten this more wrong if you'd tried.

I'm trolling? I disagreed with ONE thing... Are all of you guys this thin skinned?

People are agreeing with me in the Nike uni thread.
No, but if you're new, being a douche just to be a douche is not the way to go. And it wasn't that you disagreed with "ONE thing". It's that you made a really stupid argument and then got all pissy when you got called out on it. Also, the Rooney comment was just asinine on your part, and you should have had the brains to stop there, if not before.

Yikes. Take it easy, i can see why you don't like anyone disagreeing around here. It really seems to upset you to your very core.
Yeah, that's me. I'm all about consensus and conflict avoidance. I'm the Kumbaya kid....

He needs to do like Scrooge McDuck, go swim in his gold coins and leave the football chatter to the football guys.

But when we review the tape, the Rooneys blab about football just as much, if not more:

By the time training camp came around, Rooney v. Passing Emphasis, 2010 was all but legal precedent, when, in reality, all Rooney meant was that when and if the ball is handed off, maybe there ought to be some running room.

This week, of course, Rooney mentioned to our own Ed Bouchette that Ben Roethlisberger might have to "tweak" his style of play "a little bit."
Read more: Too many overreact to Rooney II

That extract is from a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette columnist defending Art Rooney II's penchant for talking about football issues in the media, unfortunately written a mere day before Rooney forced Arians off Tomlin's staff (Arians gracefully "retired", then was hired by the Colts as their new OC nine days later).

One reason Kraft is much admired, especially around these parts, is his principle about leaving the football to the football guys, i.e. Belichick/Tomlin.
