I just don't see them being as emotionally wound up
None of it is emotional.
Brady's legacy is at stake. Brady is being scapegoated and Kraft has turned his back on him at every chance to support. That's a fact. It isn't emotional to feel that you deserve support from the owner you have given so much success and to be disappointed in his unwillingness to do so.
......I don't see any backstabbing going on
Then you aren't looking.
Kraft sided with the other 31 over Brady and BB. That is a fact that Kraft readily admits.
Krafts 'everyone who deserves to play' comment was a slap in Brady's face. Kraft should have said if Brady isn't there, he won't be. Since when is it wrong for Kraft to stand behind his greatest player?
Kraft did not show up when asked to testify for Brady in the appeal, and also refused to testify by phone.
Brady's reputation, career and legacy are on the line and Kraft refused to drop a dime. That is as backstabbing as it gets.
.....they don't stay together so long if they're backstabbers toward each other
.
This makes no sense. Brady should ignore being stabbed in the back the first time in his career he asked for help or support from Kraft, so he shouldn't care because it didn't happen before?
If your wife cheats on you after 14 years of marriage, you think thats fine because you stayed this long and she hadn't done it before?
...they're all to rich to be pissing and moaning around each other.....they are all big boys and realize what they have had for 15 years.
See above comments. Your outlook is just wrong. Brady is not going to ignore Krafts actions because they won a lot while he was QB. It just doenst work that way in life.
while it's snappier and more intriguing to make this appear like a soap opera, I think they're all on the same page as to how they handle the outside.
How can they be on the same page when Kraft refused to testify on Brady's behalf?
You think BB told Kraft its great to give up draft picks so you can stay friends with Irsay?
Kraft is damaging the careers of both of these men. There is no way they agree with his handling of this.
Your comments sound like you have been on another planet for 8 months and don't know any of the developments that have occured.
