Not sure what this is...

[BSR]

No, it's more like a mental mistake or compound poor decision making... Maybe Bill should have a tape breakdown session with the boss...before tasteless and tactless becomes a habit.


FWIW next week marks the first anniversary of Robert's sweetheart's passing...

A mental mistake? I think you are taking it far too seriously. I don't think he did it with the intention of it being put out there. He was just having some stupid fun and someone leaked it. I put it as the equivalent of Brady's waterpark adventure.

The national media was quiet overnight, probably stunned and at a loss for words. Not so quiet in the last hour. Robert is now trending on Twitter...

It's unfortunate. He wasn't as universally beloved outside the area code until last summer. Been treated with near reverence and kid gloves since. The gloves will start coming off now and the reverence will fade into mockery or worse.

Are you guys serious? Do you even know what this is?

It's Bob Kraft reading a script for a Vince Vaughn movie (playing Owen Wilson's role) in an audition video for the girlfriend.

I understand if you're upset about him dating a 30 something, but he's reading a script to a PG13 movie. Him appearing on screen is odd, but as Toucher and Rich suggested this morning on 98.5, he's probably using his own starpower to help her land the job.

Jeeeezzz. I thought that Bob the fan friendly owner flirting with my wife at those Smithfield summer camps in the 90s was just joking fun. Now...

WTF?

You think people are going to start hating him because of this video? Really? Looking on twitter, most comments are that it is bizarre or confused. How does that translate into "the gloves will start coming off now"?

Fortunately Florio is stuck subbing for Dan Patrick this AM. But even Andrew Brandt is wading in on twitter...

Just a real brain fart from a guy who preaches family values and protecting the image of the brand that bears his families name.

Not everyone always saw Kraft as the savior we did or the hero he became last summer... Those folks will again likely start feeling free to commence poking sticks at him on lots of levels.

That was always just a matter of time. The only thing this video shows is that Kraft has gone back to living his life. If that means that some media vultures are going back to the status quo then so be it. He wasn't going to stop living his life because someone, somewhere might say something mean about him.

I read the first couple of pages in this thread before watching the video and was expecting something over-the-top embarassing. After I watched it, I agree with your sentiment.

If Bob Kraft wants to help his friend/girlfriend/whatever audition for a movie role, so what?

On a positive note, I'd love to see Goodell hand the Lombardi trophy to Kraft in February and Bob deliver his final line in reply. It'll never happen (the dialog part), but that's what I'm taking away from this little distraction.

The people outside of NE who are going to blast Kraft for this are the same people who would have found a reason to blast Kraft before they saw this video.

I'll second the "made me laugh out laugh." Awesome. And thanks for the info on the movie.

That at least explains it, so now it makes a little more sense.

Interesting but a least one of this guys over at Stampede Blue not only made light of the video but actually admitted he likes Kraft over his own team's owner.

Patriots Owner Robert Kraft Does Strange But Oddly Endearing Video With His Girlfriend - Stampede Blue


I personally am shocked not as much on the video itself but that it was less than a year after the death of Myra when he decided he was so lonely that he wanted to date a woman that could qualify as his granddaughter.....she has golddigger written all over her.

Kraft is a great owner and man and glad he is running our team,but this stuff perplexes me.

 

[MoLewisrocks]

Someone has noticed this was filmed at Gillette...behind the green curtain you can see the NFL logos just as Robert delivers his new signature line. So that at least puts it on the same level as Gronk and the porn star in his authentic jersey...:ugh:

Except...

one was purposely published, while the other was leaked.

one featured a Patriots jersey, while the other had a piece of the NFL emblem inadvertently showing.

one was a porn star, the other featured lines from a PG-13 script.

On what planet are those on the same level?

Say hello to the next owner of the Patriots everyone.

One of them is a young single guy who took a PG photo

One is a guy who was handing out patches and dropping references to his wife of 50 years at every public turn not 6 months ago

I agree they are not comparable

This what is really bugging people. It has nothing to do with the video, its this puritanical thinking and judgments about an older widower dating a young woman. Here is the thing about that: Its his private life and its none of your business.
