Why should we care?
The guy hated Big Ben and the team that sided with the pock faced dim wit
Why should we care?
AB engineered his way out of Pittsburg like many modern athletes today
Welcome to the world of professional athlete serfdom and their quest for more freedom.
AB engineered his way off a terrible Oakland team he was traded to
Why should we care?
His antics were simply a means to an end.
For the most delicate, don’t look at the mess in the kitchen if you want to enjoy your meal.
AB was just recently hit with a civil action....not criminal charges
Why should we care?
Civil actions are skirmishes over cash, nothing more
Talk to me when handcuffs get slapped on

Now.....
Why BB cared so much to sign AB......
The Patriots are currently part of a 2 team battle for AFC supremacy and KC has the most potent offense on the planet that can drop 31 points in a half
The Patriots lost a major focal point of their offense to retirement
The Brady window is closing
Then there’s ......The Patriots are rarely in a position to acquire such elite talent given their value metrics. BB has been so desperate to bring in elite pass catchers he has taken his search to rehab clinics (Gordon) and infirmaries (D. Thomas).
So let’s review...
BB has replaced his generational TE with a top 2 WR who cost NE 33 cents on the dollar ($10 mill vs $30 mill) and no trade chips in order to win shootouts vs the League’s highest octane offense in order to secure a #1 seed and avoid returning to KC where an offside penalty decided the last contest...... and Brady’s window is closing ....,yada yada
Big picture folks
Remember.....NE was only 11-5 last year....not a world beater for most of the season
So when BB is up on that podium holding his ground while taking shrapnel from the mediots..... keep in mind our leader has surveyed the landscape and has decided he needs this clown-child to not just compete but to insure success.
