Great article by Steve Buckley about the Krafts in today's Herald:
Patriots, memories of Myra serve to strengthen grieving owner - BostonHerald.com
Patriots, memories of Myra serve to strengthen grieving owner - BostonHerald.com
The flat, playoff-bound Pats were trailing the Buffalo Bills, 21-0. The crowd was booing. It was then that team owner Robert Kraft turned to longtime assistant Al LaBelle and sent him on a mission.
“I said, ‘Al, go put that picture in the locker room,’ ” Kraft was saying yesterday, sitting in his cluttered, warehouse-like office at Gillette Stadium.
That picture is a painting by local artist Brian Fox . . . [that] shows a group of unnamed Patriots, extending their arms and pointing to the initials “MHK,” which are placed below the team’s logo. At the bottom of the painting appears the word “DEDICATION.”

“From the moment it went in,” said Kraft, “(Buffalo) didn’t score a point and we scored 49 points. So I don’t know. I know that winning requires good execution, but I just believe, I just believe . . .”
