You could make it into one chant: "Free Brady. Fire Kraft"

Unfortunately Kraft can't fire himself

Didn't you get the memo? If like 12 internet commenters show up and start a chant for it he has no choice but to fire himself. It's in the cba

Not a good choice of weekends as Memorial Day weekend is big family time. Wicked Pissed as I am I would not bail on family to waste time on Kraft

I don't live in the Boston area any more, so my opinion is not relevant, but why not hold a rally at lunch time in Government Center, a central location to so many who work in downtown Boston and the scene of so many Patriots victory celebrations? It would be accessible to many more people.

Also, do the Krafts have a publicly listed office anywhere in town? That too might be a good site for a rally.

I'm gonna rally in my backyard with the lawnmower. Maybe mow a big twelve in the grass to show solidarity. The landing pattern for Logan goes right over my house.

Burning people out with a needless rally on a holiday weekend isn't the best idea.

I would hope down the road after Brady and the Players Union are victorious in the courts that the brainstorming begins how to get the critical 1st round pick back that was taken unjustly.

The first can not be gotten back. It no longer exists. When Kraft let yesterday end with "You say we cheated, I won't argue" it went away forever with no recourse.

Given his questionable decision making lately I'd say anything is possible.

That pick is gone like the last one the NFL took away.

Kraft doesn't mind as long as the other 31 owners let him bring his booster seat so he can sit up in the luxury box like a King when the Pats play at those stadiums.

So you are in the Kraft camp, when things do go well, give up?

I'm not sure that I would define anything as "going well" at the moment, so I don't really see the relevance to the situation, but to answer your question in general--no. I'm not giving up or quitting in the slightest.

I wouldn't even think of allowing this nonsense to change me as a fan, aside from the fact that it sucks to read the media articles and hear from opposing fans. I just wouldn't count on the rally actually changing anything, that's all. That ship has sailed, or possibly more appropriately, never existed after 1-18-15.

At best, it will be 500 people tossing around a football and drinking beer. The thought is nice, but it isn't going to change anything.

If there's beer, Ill make it 501

The 1st may be gone, but if Brady takes the NFL to court and the Wells report is obliterated, and disclosure proves an organized front office assault on the Pats, then there will be some awkward air time explaining why such a draconian punishment was leveled on the Pats and why it was allowed to stand.

The Pats just won the SB. That's about as "going well" as it gets for football.

The reason to leave a team isn't to make the owner feel bad. He couldn't care less and knows that there are thousands waiting to take your place. The reason you do it is to make yourself feel better. I did it for both MLB and the NBA and I enjoy the feeling.

Hopefully, the NFL will right this sinking ship and I won't be down to just the NHL.

Perhaps, but since it will be a devastating blow to the Patriots I will hold out hope.

BSPN?? This got some attention.
