I'm tired of the Pats always being the ones to bend over for the common good.Common good of the association of 32.

Cool down buddy. You do the same since youre making simular assumptions towards me.No. That's where you're wrong. You are the one who is being asinine and assuming you know what I am thinking. No where did I say that "everyone" is approaching it this way.
Do yourself a favor and bow out now since you can't be bothered to talk without making assumptions about what others are saying.
I think the harder question would be is there anyone who could do worse?I wonder if somewhere in this great country of ours is a person that could do godells job as good as he for lets say 5m ?
Maybe there's more to it. Certainly Kraft has earned the benefit of the doubt over the years.
But today feels worse than 18-1. At least then, we left it all on the field instead of picking up our ball and running home at halftime.
Kraft made no deal with Goodell. Kraft bent over, took his paddling and asked for more. I'm surprised Kraft didn't offer three more draft picks to GoodellKraft probably made a deal with goodell because goodell doesnt want to go to court with brady's appeal and assured him a 1 game suspension if kraft backed out. Now if brady is in on the deal and agrees to it is another thing. I hope not.
Since we are such good sports, I expect next season we will get week 1 off and start 0-1.I'm tired of the Pats always being the ones to bend over for the common good.
Worse might be betterI think the harder question would be is there anyone who could do worse?
WE!!! Are his money. Where do you think it comes from.? A good business mans kills his income? This will hurt him financially. And I will do my part. I'm pissed!!!!!!!!I think the problem is that too many people take all of this to serious. Its a business unfortunately and a lot of times money trumps principals. In any business.
The key is to just understand that. Nobody has to respect the guy, but for fans to turn against the team would give all the other 32 teams and all their fans exactly what they want. You have to think of them as terrorists. They are trying to get you to change your lifestyle. Dont let them do it by giving them what they want.
Just realize that BK is a businessman, this is a business and you are a customer.

No it doesn't. Come on man. Kraft decided he's backing down. The team did not lose a game on the field. The team did not even lose a pre-season game on the field.
Your first sentence was good to see, but I'll believe it when I see it.
Feh.
See ya.
I gave up the Red Sox a decade or more ago. And never came back.
I hope Kraft sells the team ASAP.
He is the worst.
No offense, but I don't think you get to tell me how I should feel. Maybe you feel differently, and I respect that. But that doesn't make my earlier statement incorrect. It's how I feel.
After 18-1, I was obviously upset. But I never questioned being a Patriots fan. I never once considered not watching another game or no longer following football. I didn't want to throw out my Patriots gear.
I feel all those things after the last few months of leaks, ******** pseudo-science, moronic agenda-driven reports, and the ridiculous parade of criticism against Tom Brady as Kraft has done next to nothing in defense. Several times, he's talked tough, but when it came time to walk the walk, he wouldn't.
Losing to the Giants was awful, but not entirely unexpected. Everyone seems to think we should have won that game easily, somehow forgetting the second half of that season was a lot closer than the first. We barely squeaked by the 8-8 Eagles and the 5-11 Ravens, and the Giants almost beat us in the finale. We struggled to put away a hobbled Chargers team in the play-offs. We didn't play our best game, but we competed to the end. Brady did all he could to bring us the lead late but we just couldn't hold on.
But we fought that day, while today, Kraft couldn't even take a swing. I don't care whether we can win or not, I don't care what the odds look like, or what anyone else says about your chances. You fight the fight, you do your best, and when the day is done, you can hold your head up high knowing you gave it your all and you live with no regret. It's what this team has always done, and sometimes you still lose like when they fought back down 31-3 to the 49ers a few years ago. And sometimes you pull off a shocking upset like the 1st Super Bowl win over the Rams. But you fight. You compete. You do your best. No matter what.
Kraft threw in the towel before the fight even began. That's what makes this worse to me. I can deal with losing. I can't deal with not even trying.
