Also, his estate is ultimately going to charity, according to the article.

I am not sure how you know "his estate is ultimately going to charity".

I think the will stipulates that a majority of the estate goes to charity. 51% and up is a majority. That is not "his estate", but a majority of his estate.

I always wonder why every team blames all their woes on the Patriots. Like we have nothing better to do. They need a scape goat if things go wrong and who better that the big bad Patriots. This article is a joke and anyone that takes it seriously is as big of a moron as the person who wrote it !!!

I mean, these are the same people who think Tom Brady is letting the air out of their tires on cold nights.

A pre-emptive effort to ease the sting of defeat after what will happen Sunday night...
Blaming the Patriots for anything and everything is hardly the mark of a champion...

The Brady/BB dynasty left a mark on the rest of the league. This generation of Pats doesn't have to do anything, they are already in the heads of their opponents. That built in distraction for other teams is a big advantage, let's hope that the Maye/Vrabel Pats continue the tradition.

I do not think any of this will be a distraction for the Seattle, it didn’t distract the Pats players in 04 when both coordinators took head coaching jobs and the gates didn’t seem to distract them.

Having to address Tomase's made-up story about the filming of the Rams walkthrough in 2001 on the eve of Super Bowl XLII was a distraction though that the team didn't need.

Not sure Seattle being for sale is good for the Pats...

The NFL would want Seattle to sell for the highest price, thus elevating value of all NFL franchises, and what would make that price skyrocket more than a SB victory?!
