Curran: NFL has a Giant Sense of Entitlement

[The Brandon Five]

Florio weighs in. I guess the league isn't aware that not everyone in sports media is a fan of New York teams.

Mike Florio on OM&F: Large New York Giants bias in NFL league office

There is a sense different penalties apply to different teams.

Gee, ya think?

The reason we keep "whacking" BK is because even with all the **** Goodell's done to him and his team and his HOF Coach and HOF QB, He still HUGS Goodell and talks to Goodell like Goodell's his adopted son! Hell even Jonathan was was caught embracing Goodell after deflategate. To us fans, that tells us that BK and JK are ok with how Goodell screwed this team and players because it was for the "good of the 32".

That is why I and others like myself keep on "whacking" BK, cuz even after how the other 31 ****ed him, he still goes back and says 'may I have another please'. I'm not a billionaire so I'm not sure what the exact protocol's are for them, but I would have a very difficult time hugging and chatting it up like old friends with people that have tried to screw me and my friends and everything I own over. Unless its like a scene out of the Godfather where u gotta be nice or Robert De Niro gonna rape ur ass.

And as I said, there was a time he was not (in your words) "a weak-*** ****y", unfortunately that time was almost 25 years ago. People change over 25 years and BK has changed the past 10 years, to where he doesn't want to ruffle feathers. I'm sorry if you don't see that.

Absolutely correct. It is no longer just that Kraft has made a gross misjudgment about the POS and his masters Mara and Rooney, but the fact he apparently hasn't realized that they and the rest of the league have declared war on the Pats. Disarmament and pacificism are not going to stop it.

Bob Kraft and the entire franchise know better than anyone that the rest of the
League has declared war on them. They've lived it first-hand. You're right that disarmament and pacificism aren't going to stop it, but neither are sabre-rattling and aggression. Nothing will stop it.

And that's reason #1 why when BB and TFB are done I'm off my NFL kick

I disagree. Kraft has shown absolutely no recognition that Goodell and his puppet masters have a vendetta against the Pats unless you think kissing their collective rears is evidence of push back.

You can disagree all you want. But, your vendetta against Kraft has clouded your judgement to a point where it's impossible for you to be objective about Bob Kraft. Only you know the reason why that's true, but even you know it is true. Merry Christmas!

Not me. I'm excited to see what happens after TB & BB. I'll be a fan forever. I'll never give these MFers the satisfaction of having beaten me. Ain't happening.

You can let us know the next shaft that the NYFL 31 gives the resurgent Patriots

I'll be more than happy to do so! Sundays at 1:00, or whenever, with long necks under ice and the game on high def is just too much fun.

The war existed decades before Robert Kraft had anything to do with us. To date, there is zero indication that Kraft or anyone in his camp are aware of it. Kraft never "changed", he's acquiesced to the league in absolutely every way since he first bought the track property. He worships the league like it's the Vatican, and his starry-eyed love of Bledsoe and the Flying Elvis will never allow him to ever see reality.

That is why if Shaunessy or Borges meets an upset fan their existence is an attractive nuisance and I want to talk about jury nullification. I've read those forums and realized that idiot was giving stupid people ammunition. Someone else might react to that foolishly and I personally would hold them to the same standard as a three year old looking at a bright red motorcycle parked on the street. Yeah I know you shouldn't climb on the seat and go "vroom, vroom." But if the toddler does and the bike falls over, blame the bike owner for not seeing the obvious.

Ditto an "fan" (short for fanatic) beating up Shaunessy or Borges. Yeah, the "law" may not agree with this but we the citizens make the law and are not slaves to proclamations of some lord or whatever. Use your brain and assume you know right and wrong. He knew he'd upset people he himself calls fanatics. If a man sticks his genitals in a hornets nest and gets stung in his privates, do we blame the hornets or the man?

There is a total absence of merely one acknowledged, nationally recognized public analyst or sports reporter who, for example, is quoted all the time in articles and Wikipedia, who very simply points out the facts regarding the NFL's decades-long crusade of denigration and ridicule against the New England Patriots.

Curious: Exactly how much was publicly printed from 1928-1935 pointing out the abject absurdity of the insanely bigoted narrative that Jews were conspirators who posed a threat to humanity? I estimate zero.

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

Yeah back then he was ballsy. Do you really think he would have taken the same **** piled upon him and his franchise (the past 2 years) back then? No way. You don't lure Parcells to one of the worst team (back then) by being spineless. Unfortunately during the past 10 years he's lost his spine and lets the other 31 pick on him just so he can sit at their table.

He did take all the sh*t back then, and always. He poured all his financial resources into purchasing the team, and treated the the league and its owners like the Gods of Ancient Greece. Kraft did not hire Parcells; he did support Orthwein, who was assigned here by the league, in every way, including erasing our own heritage and identity (without asking Coach Parcells his opinion) even as Orthwein still a year later tried to buy and move the team, lost interest in NFL ownership after a year or so and kept his precious Budweiser beer label intact - because, after all, that's something he cared about, he considered important, a heritage that he valued, and not something he had nothing but contempt, disdain, and hatred for - like the Patriots.

Welcome to KraftWorld.

Had Bob Kraft been successful in any of his previous attempts to own the Bruins, Celtics or Red Sox, yes, he would have gone right along with destroying their logos and uniforms, and he would have proclaimed Joe Thornton, Brad Lohaus, and Mike Greenwell the G.O.A.T. too.

And each of their respective leagues hates them too. Last I checked, Art Skov is in the Hockey Hall of Fame, the Celtics are still as hated around the NBA as they ever were, and neither Rollie Fingers nor Joe Rudi ever played a game with the Sox.

Furthermore, Kraft has never shown any recognition that the league had an anti-Patriots agenda years before he purchased the team. In fact, the identical same statements made by the present and former administrations (in '92 and '08): "The Patriots damaged the league."

I have the same thing to say to Roger Goodell and his minions, including the Maras etc., that I do to Tagliabue, Orthwein and their stupid, ignorant, moron cronies whom Kraft embraces:

With apologies to Charlton Heston, "Take your stinking paws off my football team, you damned dirty pieces of sh*t!"

"(Kraft) worships the league like it's the Vatican...". Bulletin: Robert Kraft is Jewish...

Forget about the religious references, including the Greek Gods...point: before and after his purchase of the team, Kraft always acquiesces to the NFL under all circumstances, including the countless times the Patriots are denigrated, attacked and unjustly penalized.

You wrote it, don't duck it. Have the balls to explain yourself. You said Kraft acts Catholic. I'll ask again, what does that mean?

Without repeating everything I've already said. The Vatican decrees things expecting people to observe and take as gospel whatever it is. That's what Kraft does regarding anything the league decrees, i.e., "The Patriots damaged the league." His personal religion is irrelevant, and if there's a better analogy then great.

This, in the same place where Red Auerbach (also Jewish) fought to protect both the heritage and tradition of his team, as well as (often literally) fighting to protect his team from incompetence and unfair treatment by their league.
