****...edit got lost...whoa is me
Edit:
I'll add part of that rant here.
Most disgusting to me, is the way Kraft allowed Goodell (probably more the other 31) to make him, for a moment, among the most hated owners in the sport. Spy and Deflategate removed, what is there to dislike about Kraft? He tried to strong arm the nfl into paying for a stadium, ditto Mass. Instead he paid out of pocket, at the height of this teams illustrious run, to keep the team in dismal Foxborough.
That, fellow PatsFans, is a fan owner at work. Hartford? Some comedian on Comedy Central stand up called for the raizing of CT. Having lived there for a few years, I don't disagree (great restaurants though, where I cut my teeth in kitchens).
Hell, I knew old Foxborough was a joke as a kid, my brothers and I, squeezed into each other, sacrificing the 12 in ass space Sullivan decided on rather than the comfy 18, for the good of my father and whatever grown man was on our right.
Kraft could have easily turned the pats into the old browns that spurned BB. Methinks he had discussed with BB the fact he would stay, and support a new ground up approach (remember the carrol years...constant decline, Bledsoe waving off the punt team in miami, only to drive down and win). In that respect, he has held his word.
Unfortunately, he gave in to the league office (for the 2nd time), at the worst of times. Matt Patricia is a rocket scientist...literally. no reason he should have accepted a 2 dollar fine, let alone the garbage he did. But here we are.
