I doubt that the Patriots will issue #81 to anyone for a while.
Congratulations on having your number semi-retired, Mr. Francis.
Really? See, I was actually thinking about this today and thought they would be more likely to issue it to someone else quickly. Maybe not. I don't know.
This is smart on so many levels. First, you get some good will with fans -- all fans. Second, you get the hernandez shirts out of the stands. No one wants to be reminded. Great move -- as usual -- Mr. Kraft. You are a great businessman and a great NFL franchise owner.
You act like the Patriots are going door to door confiscating Hernandez jerseys in order to burn them all at the fifty yard line at the home opener as a display of shame. They're not doing anything to the public's perception of Hernandez except nudging them toward forgetting his connection to the team. And no matter what happens, he's no longer a Patriot, so there will be plenty of people that'd rather have a different jersey. The fans win, the team wins, and Hernandez isn't really affected because the media has done enough to ruin most people's opinion of him.This is way premature.Let's at least let the legal process run its course , and we hear from all the sides. If he is subsequently convicted then the team can go ahead and do this. Everyone is acting like its a done deal that he is guilty and has been convicted. I acknowledge that right now it looks like he is the probable killer but no one knows yet what revelations might come . This is a mercenary pr move coming at the cost of prejudicing the public against Hernandez.
Dude did that all on his own.
Here's what I'm wondering though.....How would they know? I doubt everyone has kept their receipts. Is there some other way to tell?
