because he might be innocent, or serve a 4 game suspension. Worth a shot if they have to pay him.

He wasn’t serving anything unless they think digging up dirt on someone is a crime.

He posted pictures from her own site talking about the kids clothes. Give me a break. He probably thought he was done with this woman until an SI writer with a clear agenda did his homework and made sure the story was printed all out on a national sports magazine with her consent i am sure cause she could have said no.

Just to clarify, he did not post the pics. They were in a private text. She sent that text to SI who then posted it making it public.

No that is incorrect. There is a difference between being a good teammate and a great player and being an idiot. He did numerous idiotic things, even after there was no question he was on thin ice. He may have been great in the locker room but that doesn't excuse his behavior outside . If you AB apologizing Kraft bashers don't get this then perhaps you should look up the definition of idiotic.

It's actually easier for me to understand AB's foolishness than Kraft's.

I'm not going to judge AB based on press reports, especially in a league that permits Ben Roethlisberger, Adrian Peterson, and Tyreek Hill to play. When AB got in trouble in Oakland I immediately suspected Mayock's rookie competence, not Brown. The league is full of troubled talent and a major part of management's job is to cope with that. The civil suit against him is at least suspicious. I'm sure that AB is certainly guilty of not listening to his agents advice, but he's a great talent and doesn't deserve to have his career destroyed by public prejudice. The team should have supported him through league due process, and not prematurely deprived us of the historic opportunity to see Brady to Brown.

I didn't care about Billionaire Bob's private sex life -- until he made it public through his reprobate negligence. He's a billionaire, so there's no excuse and I have no sympathy. If he indeed forced a great talent off the team to distract from his own reckless behavior that is unforgivable, especially coming from an often publicly drunken owner who had already twice weaseled out from supporting the two men who actually elevated this franchise to greatness -- and made him a billionaire -- Belichick and Brady.

The two things aren't connected, which for some reason is tough for the haters to understand. Kraft is the owner, he is the guy who pays for his own indiscretions. That doesn't mean he has to put up with his employees indiscretions.

If you get a speeding ticket, it doesn't mean you can't ground your 16 year old for shoplifting.

And if he wasn't in the midst of a civil rape trial it probably wouldn't have been anywhere near as big a deal.

If we are being honest, none of us know how much the two are connected. There are a lot of reports from legit sources saying that it was indeed a factor and, quite honestly, I find those reports easy to believe based on both Belichick's and Brady's behavior over the whole thing.

I don't think this is quite at the level of Kraft/Grier/Parcells with Terry Glenn, but I do believe there was a disagreement.

He's just a freaking "owner", an unfortunate feudal legacy of American sports. If he overrides Belichick's management of the team he needs a better reason that personal brand.

"Civil rape trial"? Is that a thing?

I didn't realize how much of a passionate topic this was until last night's GDT when AB kept coming up. Here's my 2 cents. Does he make our team better, of course. He is a great talent. A HOF talent. Do I think he will be back here. NO I do not. I'd rather focus my time and energy on the current players that we have on our team.

6-0.

What the hell are you babbling about????

You must not be paying very close attention. In case you missed it, our offense is looking less than stellar at the moment, and someone who knows a little about football (obviously not you) might notice that we have a whopping total of one capable receiver Brady can depend on. If you had a basic understanding of football, you would understand that's a problem.

How’s the TEAM doing, Mr Football Genius? (or are you another one of those FFL offensive stat boys?)

Trent Dilfer won a SB with a great defense.

We are seeing a clear divide between actual Patriot fans and FFL stat boys.

True or false - BB can handle Brown? I surprisingly never got an answer on this last night.

 

[StairwayToSe7en]

Prediction: AB will be in a Patriots uniform again, and will be coming on the back of our opponents, by the end of the season.

I’ll settle for the first part of your statement.

Sure. But Gronk ain’t coming back either based on the shape he’s in...or is he? Who the hell knows.

I just don't think you can send harassing text messages to a recipient who wants to be left alone, then claim it was a "private text" when they release it.

All accusations and white knight blow ups (text drama). Why has no other team signed him? Maybe because at this point it is NE and nobody else? He hasn’t asked other teams on Instagram to sign him has he? He could take the Pats money and run. Get paid elsewhere. Seems to me he wants to be in NE.

You might have the world record for most uses of "white knight" without actually knowing what it means or how it originated on the internet.

Not only that, he brought 3 of his posse on it also to intimidate her. And he thought it wouldn’t complicate matters for him? He’s a complete idiot who cannot help himself.

I disliked your juvenile and insulting tone. I understood your point now.

Not only was @Crazy Patriot Guy not the one that made the post, there was nothing juvenile or insulting in it. Your lack of personal grace is a perfect match with your inattention to detail and inability to comprehend the written word. A simple thank you for my willingness to engage and expand when you clearly were not running on all 8 cylinders might have been a better choice, certainly taking the correct person to task for an imagined slight would have been.
