Robert Kraft sends powerful message by changing official Facebook page to this....

AndyJohnson said:

You don't care that the face of the franchise, and the GOAT has been inappropriately branded a liar and cheater and for the rest of ever any discussion about him will include that he cheated and the proof is he was suspended for it?
Not me. I would rather have Brady cleared and lose the picks, if there is a choice.

Of course, I care. Where did I say I didn't?

However, 4 games is overcome-able.

Losing a 1st rounder and a 4th rounder for an entire career is a bigger deal to the franchise in my opinion.

And BTW, the labeling of Brady already occurred. With those kinds of things you can't put the genie back in the bottle. The crime against his rep is unwashable no matter what appeal victory happens. The nation is stupid and uninformed, how can you repair his "rep"?

They hate us 'cause they ain't us. You're never going to change that, so stop worrying about the "taint". Get the suspension reduced and sue the **** out of the league.

I am still at loss trying to comprehend why Kraft would admit in his prior PR that we would accept the disciplinary action. I literally flung my book at my TV when I saw that. He should have stopped right after the first few sentences when he denounced the report.

Oh well, I hope - nay pray - that we do not take this lying down as we did in Camera-gate.

It appears we are seeing that Kraft realizes that was a mistake and is reversing his course, thank God.

I based that on you saying this:

I care somewhat about the 4 games for Brady, but feel the Pats still win the division even with that (and would be a stronger team long term for having sone so).

The stain on the franchise and Brady is not.

I'd rather lose the picks that have everything this franchise has accomplished brought into question by proof that Brady is a cheater and a liar. If he serves one down of suspension, you will never win an argument that he was not a cheater, because he was punished for cheating.
Belichick can overcome not having a pick or 2 more easily than that.

Why would they, especially McNally, be paid?

Exactly. Those texts showed (ironically completely MISSED in meaning by Wells) that McNally wasn't exactly working for Brady's benefit - - he was pretty damn antagonistic.

Fire his ass for giving Tom a hard time.

No, the texts don't show that.

You're right. He should go lob an actual grenade into the league offices.

Really?

So "I care somewhat" means "I don't care"?

I wouldn't go that far. Nothing about those texts indicated any kind of context. It could just as easily have been a couple of guys having a bad day at work, messing around to each other. The fact that the texts were used as a basis for ANY conclusion (positive or negative to the Pats) is ridiculous.

HOw do I do this on a Mac? I can't right click.

McNally Tom sucks...im going make that next ball a [expletive] balloon

McNally [expletive] tom ...16 is nothing...wait till next sunday

McNally [Expletive] tom....make sure the pump is attached to the needle.....[expletive] watermelons coming

not to mention how he was going to mess up Brady's QB rating.......

Yeah, it really showed what a great and helpful employee McNally was. We need more of him to be employed by the Patriots.

1. Do what? I may be able to help.
   
2. Why on Earth don't you have a Turbomouse?

You said you care somewhat, but the team will probably end up stronger.
I took that to mean you care about the impact on the field and see it as minor.

I care for all reasons that have nothing to do with the outcome of those games.

Change it to my avatar.

eta: I don't even know what a Turbomouse is!

which all social medias? Twitter and Facebook? Tinder?

Get back to me with your explanation of how you can be 100% certain that wasn't two guys bullshitting back and forth. You and Wells are the only two human beings on the planet with that ability, and the rest of us would love to learn it.

Wrath Mania said:

Obviously I'm glad to see the Patriots seem to be totally backing Brady, but let's not frame it like Kraft personally mans the facebook page.

I can assure that nothing like this would be done without Stacey James approval and Stacey James is very much hand and hand with Kraft And Kraft with him.

Really? So let's say the suspension gets reduced to zero.

You think the other 44.5 states just say "Stain gone!"?

Don't worry about the stain. It ain't coming out. Win a few more SB's with the dirty uni.

Um ... assuming you mean change your avatar to the Brady 12 one, one way to do it is to control-click the image, save it to your desktop, then change your avatar and choose that file. Probably a quicker way to do it, but it worked for me.

The only fair and just outcome is the the NFL decision is completely overturned. Vacated. No suspension, no draft picks.
