"I consider myself lucky that a man so focused on winning and so passionate about his team coaches the Pats," would be a much more accurate statement. "I consider myself lucky that a man so focused on winning and so passionate about his team plays quarteback for the Pats," would be another much...

Roger Goodell is doing a fine job.

Poor list, Lewis is ridiculously high in the ranking. As are Carter, Sheard, Crumpler and probably Thomas. As others have mentioned, if you're counting their own FA (Edelman) that I guess tested the market, than how is Bruschi (2000) not included? McCourty last year? Probably others too...

Basically saying (between hits from the meth pipe), hey we don't know how much playing football damages the brain, so let's say it's none.

Empty seats, place these on table.

If the framegate went down as described, then how about extortion and conspiracy charges against the NFL?

Funny you make that connection. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/25/sports/football/nfl-concussion-research-tobacco.html?_r=0

Not much left in FA. I think they'll use Brown more than expected but he's far from the only answer. Foster - I'd only take a shot for small money hoping to get 5-6 good games out of, always injured coming of an achilles. Hightower - In last 4 games of last year 84 rushes 327 yards 4 TDs, 12...

Playing football can build character, playing football can also cause serious brain injuries. Bob Kraft, who makes billions off of other people playing the game shouldn't be the one saying it's worth the risk, especially when him and his co-conspirators are desperately trying to hide and distort...

I'm not going to act like I'm any kind of expert on the subject but more and more are making a connection between head trauma, ALS and CTE. At this point I thought it was commonly accepted. Turner believed so himself. Ex-NFL, Alabama FB Turner dies of ALS at 46 (ESPN) After his diagnosis...

And what good are life lessons if your life is ending 30-40 years too early?

You can debate what he said but with news coming out in the last 24 hours that a 46 y/o former Patriot lost his life almost certainly because he played football as well the NFL manipulating data regarding concussions, maybe Bob should just STFU.

Great timing too, on the day Kevin Turner's three kids who lost their 46 y/o father.

Interesting choice of words, one of the definitions of the word rhetoric is: language designed to have a persuasive or impressive effect on its audience, but often regarded as lacking in sincerity or meaningful content. rhetoric - Google Search

I've noticed lately that Rooney and (especially) Mara seem to be the spokesman for everything NFL ownership related. We're talking old NFL and money. They're families are even intermarried. Maybe they didn't like Kraft taking a seat at the grownup table. It's a possible explanation of what...

Various stories have reported that he was referred to as the assistant commissioner, forcing teams into accepting punishments, they thought he was getting preferential treatment while Goodell's salary skyrocketed under Kraft's watch. They ridiculously thought the Pats got off easy for Spygate...

That's awful. Too young.

Kraft's the one who's been slandered? Seriously? Brady's the one who's been slandered. Kraft accepted punishment for something Brady didn't do. Kraft is paying his share of the owner's bill for the case against Brady. Kraft has not denounced Goodell in any meaningful way. In fact , he is still...

- The draft comes and the Patriots don't have their 1st rounder (already a foregone conclusion) - The Chiefs win their appeal and get their third round pick back before the draft - Brady loses in court and has to sit out the first four games

Without question, Chris Russo is an confabulating idiot but it has already been reported that this is the way it essentially went down.
