Reactions To Kraft 's Presser Dropping the Fight.

[Jlaff]

All that comes to mind is Brady's Super Bowl pregame speech. "it's about respect, it's about honor".

Kraft just proved he isn't the the savy businessman people say he is. The NFL is all about PASSION. Passion for the fans spending money, and the passion for the players and coaches who do their job on the field. Kraft just killed that passion for everyone involved.

There is now an asterix on all 4 Super Bowl, and it ain't because of "cheating". For me it's now - The Patriots won 4 Superbowls*

*why the f-ck should I even care.

He sold his quarterback, his coach, his fanbase, and his team's legacy out. He is a complete piece of **** as far as I am concerned. I'll follow the team for the team but I will no longer buy another piece of Patriots merchandise as long as this gutless ***** is in charge of the team. I was planning a trip to Gillette this year. Instead, I think I'll take my girlfriend to New York since she's never been there and watch an away game vs. the Giants.

Well I guess all summer the talking heads on NFL Network, and ESPN will be patting themselves on the back. Mark Brunell can finally stop crying on national television. Kraft just threw all of us fans under the bus so he can focus all of the off season popping Viagra and hopping on his girlfriend. Yay us (sarcasm).

I read that and it seems to me that comment is a shot to the OTHER 31 teams in this League...

The other 31 teams were and are quite willing to screw the Pats

 

[IndyKen]

He might as well sell the team and buy some island........ somewhere far away.

I am in the minority on this one. I am every bit as disgusted by this as you all are. All the work and time BB and Brady and the players put in and the owner does not go to bat for them.

Very very disappointing.

I do remain a fan and I do support all the good work this organization does. Fighting this fight has to be exhausting for this organization, the reaction to this thread is proof enough that it is taxing on our fanbase, let alone the people directly involved.

As mom always says...'this too shall pass'. The draft picks hurt but we have the coaching to remedy that to some extent. I will always support this team, but especially BB and Brady. Kraft can't keep doing this fight, it is not worth it. I don't need validation from other fan bases, they already hate us. The outcome of this is not going to change that.

Let's rest up and fuel up for the 2015 season. It will be a long one with a lot of revenge to serve up..and you can bet TFB and BB will have the fuel they need, all...year...long...

Ahhhh...the voice of reason.

@AdamSchefter: Goodell-Kraft attended Sean McManus’ 60th birthday Sat in NYC; they were spotted “on a couch, talking by themselves for quite a long time."

Sickening.

NFL doesn't deserve Brady or Belichick. Belichick is too smart for them and Brady is too competitive at his age. NFL would love for them to be gone.

What Kraft just did forever and irreversibly tarnished the team and Tom Brady. Now that the team accepts egregious penalties it sounds like an admission of guilt and by extension the "guilt" of Tom Brady. ****ing Kraft

 

[ViperGTS]

It's also a sign of society today. Wrongfully accused? So what. Deal with it. Bend over Bob just took it right up the kiester.

How people like him got the money he did is beyond me. I'd assume he stepped over a few bodies along the way. Now, when it matters the most he capitulates. It's Neville Chamberlain all over again. Of course it's not a comparable scenario by a longshot, just the mentality is close to the same.

 

[Clonamery]

T

Angry right now doesn't describe it. Honestly bending over and taking it for the so called good of everybody else is bull. So disappointed in this turn of events. Money gonna protect money we has fans now get branded cheaters again because let's face it, if we were innocent we would fight. This quitting like Kraft did basically tells me we are guilty. Either that or Kraft is too much of a coward too defend this teams honor to those who will bring us down, and they will come again at us since this is twice we bent over and took it.

Truth and integrity do not equal $ in Kraft's world.

 

[Deus Irae]

And it's going to remain your secret, or do you plan to explain?

Again, it's obvious. How does Brady actually benefit from this? He'd have beaten this in court. Now, any reduction/elimination in punishment will just be filed under "He's guilty, and his boss took the fall for it.".

There HAS to be more to his decision to end this besides keeping the peace.

Sickening.

They also crossed legs and shared ex boyrfriend stories. When their song came on they left their shoes near the couch and danced together, rather closely, for several minutes.

He's not one of us. He's one of them.

 

[wilmingtonpatsfan]

I ask all the Pats fans to stop going to the game, stop buying the jerseys, don't spend another penny on Patriots as a protest of Kraft's statement. Please spread this message as much as you can.

Nah

 

[Bruins29]

Whatever. Like Halifax said, you can still watch the team and not respect the owner. IF someone wanted to stop watching I wouldnt blame them. The whole league is a joke and the media makes it 100xs worse.

Look at the Bruins for years. Die hard fan base under Jeremy Jacobs when he was hated. And they never won a championship when that was going on.

We now know Goodell's job is secure. We can look forward to a monstrous dictatorship for years to come.

Even the die hard Bruins fans were figuring it out by the end. You owe no loyalty to an owner who doesn't gives a **** about you.

Bob Kraft is building private bars for the elites in his stadium, because of his never ending desire for increased revenue, and he's throwing his team under the bus on deflategate. What's there to respect after that?
