It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I agree let the Putz with his "escort" be the official celebrity greeters for the team and a roving goodwill ambassador for his beloved League. We need an owner who actually gives a crap for his team and its fans not a wimp who is the footstool for his buddy Goodell and his beloved partners.I like him. He's a very smart guy. Now that PudgeBob has publicly confirmed loss of his testicles, I'd like to see him retire and Jonathan become the face of ownership. There would be no better time for this than taking his father's place on the field during the banner unveiling.
I think Jonathan is even more sophisticated than PudgeBob when it comes to things like being "hands off." He has been the main public spokesman re. team administrative functions the last few years via his regular radio spot on 98.5 and comes across well. One difference between Jonathan and Bob is that junior can get a bit riled up when insulted, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.This is going to be unpopular because we all hate or are mad at Bob but I hope Jonathon can run the team as well. More accurately I hope he has the same eye for finding someone to run his team and gets out the way.
He seems like a smart enough guy more than capable of continuing what Bob has started.
Hopefully he has more of a spine. But most important is who he hires and not meddling.

I bet WellsReportContext was JK's idea- not Bob's.I remember back during Spygate, towards the end of the year a poster on ESPN forums that had only 1 post prior wrote a long post explaining all the details of Spygate. It was widely believed at the time that the author was Jonathan Kraft. The post was subsequently removed/deleted and unfortunately neither I nor anyone else was smart enough to copy the contents.
The post went into great detail over everything that happened after spygate first broke. One of the things I remember clearly (from the post) was him saying that Goodell was meeting with BB, Kraft and others a few days after the spygate game and BB wanted to give a press conference explaining what exactly happened. Paraphrasing here, and Goodell responded something to the effect of "shut up and don't say a word otherwise it's going to be a lot harder on you". Basically saying that Goodell threatened them with much worse punishment if they spoke publicly about spygate. This was the posters (J. Kraft?) explanation for why no one from the Patriots said anything about spygate that year.
It was very long post and explained why the Pats were so silent during spygate. It seemed very plausible and believable and made a lot of sense. I wish to god I had saved it.
Anyways my point is that I think J. Kraft sees things more from a fan's point of view than a business man's point of view. I'm not sure which is better, but I know that for myself, I'd rather have someone that cares about the reputation of the team over what the other 31 owners might think of me.
