I didn't read it. The corrupt Bend over Bob and go to hell with his 31 corrupt buddies.
Disagree. It shows the author doesn't know what he's talking about, is sloppy with details, or has an agenda.
i wont read the article because isnt the best for the other 31 teams
- Robert Kraft
I don't care what he says or does, so long as he's in bed with Goodell, he's dead to me. I hope they (meaning all 32, plus the Ommisioner and all the VPs) all end up in a Trading Places ending together.
Are you the author?

The past couple of years, he’s been making calls that begin like so: “This is Robert Kraft. Do you know who I am?”
Andrew Schiff answered the phone to that question last year at the Rhode Island Community Food Bank. He said to Robert Kraft, “I know who you are. But I have no idea why you would be calling me.”
“I have good news for you,” Kraft said. He told Schiff that he was giving his nonprofit, which teaches culinary skills to unemployed adults, $100,000.
Kraft also told Schiff not to tell anyone about the call. And there was more: In order for Schiff to get the money, he’d have to raise another $100,000 from others.
- His capitulation to Goodell was glossed over.
Actually, which is more the truth, it states that his demanding an apology, way back in the beginning of deflategate, broke the code of the NFL which is to accept any ruling by the commissioner.
Somehow, at least on this board, this has mutated to, "telling the commissioner to fark off" as the default position for all unhappy owners.
His capitulation to Goodell was glossed over.
Are you claiming that, because he did something so daring in January, he just had to grovel and publicly capitulate in May to limit the resulting damage? If that's your point, I disagree. If your point is something else, I'm not understanding you.
It was exactly one sentence, and wasn't even explicitly stated. "The owners were wary of the Patriot Way". That's like, the closest the thing got to it.
Read every statement he made from then on. Rather than groveling, other owners consider him to be disrespectful to the office.
I understand, from our point of view, it's all horsesnit. but trry to be objective, read all his statement and read what the other owners have said.
By the time he realized he was screwed, his balls were already in the vice.
Of course, if it makes anyone feel better, you can ignore everyone else and just assume it was our glorious cause with a fair and impartial goodell, who would surely see our side of things.
Huh? Who wouldn't want to be here?I don't care what he says or does, so long as he's in bed with Goodell, he's dead to me. I hope they (meaning all 32, plus the Ommisioner and all the VPs) all end up in a Trading Places ending together.
But there’s a fine line in pro sports when it comes to what exactly whatever encompasses. When Belichick was caught spying on other teams’ signals to their players from the sidelines in 2007, which is cheating, Kraft asked him, “How much did this help us on a scale of one to 100?”
