I used to be a Revs fan. Now I root for Toronto FC. Screw the Krafts, can't wait until they sell the Patriots.

I expect you'll be waiting a very long time then.

If more fans were like me, it would happen quickly

Probably not. Both are too classy and have too much vested in this organization. Now, will he drive away a significant portion of the fanbase after both leave? Probably.

A significant portion of the fan base will leave when the team starts not winning 10 games a year, under whatever coach and whatever quarterback.

No, the Kraft's have already waved goodbye to you and to those who no longer support the team. So have Belichick and Brady.

You jump to conclusions.

Who said I don't support the Patriots' players or coaches?

So Kraft isn't going to take my money if I think he did a terrible disservice to the organization in the way he handled it?
And Brady is going to hate me because I don't like that Kraft refused to show up for his appeal?

If you can get your enemies to turn on each other, then you can win. Goodell and the LO at 345 Park Place are no longer the enemy. Bob Kraft at 1 Patriot Place is.

A simple strategy and it seems to be working.

What you consistently fail to realize is that they are both on the same side. Didn't you hear Kraft's statement that the good of the league is more important than any team. the past is the past. Kraft is killing the teams future.

Upstater1 said that if there were more fans like him, Kraft would sell the team quickly. I disagreed.

I said nothing about Kraft refusing to take your money. Nobody has said anything about Brady hating you.

I just don't think that Kraft, Belichick or Brady are really concerned about fans who want Kraft to sell the team. You disagree. OK.

Are you forgetting Billy Sullivan who got the franchise for Boston in the first place. Without him Kraft would have no team to rescue.

True, often forgotten, and not very relevant.

It is only relevant when people are praising Kraft to the heavens for something that happened 20 years ago and would not happened if Billy Sullivan didn't bring the team here in the first place.

I hope not. It's been months though, I still can't believe Kraft did what he did. I feel as betrayed now as the first day it happened. I'm not sure there is any kind of forgiveness left in me for what Kraft did. Not sure how BB and Brady feel and I'm hoping they don't feel anything like I do.

I will never forgive kraft for what he did. i wouldn't doubt if BB leaves after his currant contract is up. After this whole side show is over i can see brady asking to be traded or cut.

I don't want the Kraft family to sell the team. I just want the pathetic old putz not to run it. Let Jonathan take over and maybe we will get an owner with cajones to care about the team and its fans. Then I couldn't care less what the putz does with his bimbo.

I wouldn't be holding Billy Sullivan up as much of anything. He got the team when the AFL was starting and you could start a franchise for a couple of used hubcaps.

The bottom line is that he got the team here on a shoestring but without him there wouldn't be any NE Patriots.The NFL already had two franchise leave Boston and weren't going to put another one here. It was NY Giants territory

You know, all this Kraft bashing. You might note, it wasn't Kraft that destroyed Brady's phone. That was BEYOND stupid. Even if he was guilty it was stupid. Innocent, it's a thousand times more stupid. You can scream at Kraft all you want, but TN shot himself in the foot.

For all we know, Goodell told Kraft about the phone and that's what prompted him to say **** it.

All of this should be a wake-up call for Bob Kraft. He can stop kissing up to Goodell and other owners. What an idiot who thinks he is important to league.

If that is the case Goodell must have been a prophet because it wasn't revealed to Goodell until the appeal which happened after the craven concession of the Putz. It is a shame that you are being influenced by the appearance not the facts. Brady provided the information concerning all the texts on the phone to Goodell exactly as requested by Wells who did not request the phone. This whole thing is a red herring to rile up the the other 31 fan bases composed mostly of idiots and the mediots which feed them.
