I never said I " speak for the players " I just think a scene where Patriot fans are viciously booing and screaming obscenities at Kraft at Gillette would be something most of them would find repulsive, and I believe their sympathies would lie with Kraft and turn them against the fans That's my opinion, period. If I were the one putting together Banner night festivities for the team I would have Kraft stay in the owners box and tell Goodell he is no longer welcome at Gillette. Then I would get players from every era, such as Gino Capelleti(sp), John Hannah, Ray Clayborn, Russ Francis, Grogan, Andre Tippet, Bledsoe, Moss, Faulk, Light etc and introduce them while running highlights of the team throughout the years and have Teddy Bruschi run the show, and when all is said and done introduce the greatest football player in NFL history, the GOAT, Tom Brady, and have him hit the switch to unfurl the banner while the scoreboard gets everyone chanting BRADY BRADY BRADY, and when he's running back to the sideline to start the game change it to WE WANT FIVE WE WANT FIVE WE WANT FIVE!
This team and it's fans needs to put aside the internal infighting over Kraft's mistake and rally against the 31, And the best way to do so is to rally around the franchise and make Gillette the nastiest home field advantage in football.
Hating Kraft and voicing that may make people feel better right now but it does nothing to help them going forward. Let's get it out of our systems and on to 2015.
There's a thousand ways to say f.ck you, but none is sweeter than winning it all.
