“Smoke” surrounding Pats org, according to grilled cheese sandwich (Remains Unconfirmed)

You can’t punish a team for tanking by taking away draft picks. That just makes them worse. They go from # 4 pick to #1 in the following draft.
You punish them by giving them Tee Higgins and Ronnie Stanley and Josh Sweat. Ok. Now try to tank!!

If we lived through, and thrived, despite the nonsensical BS of Spygate and Deflategate we'll survive whatever foolishness this produces. No one of any importance and/or credibility ever talks about the phony lunacy of those 2 crap issues.If a widespread "scandal" arises out of this, they'll be only one logical explanation: the rest of the NFL is already getting worried about a Patriot revival. The NFL is full of jealous babies.

hope those bastards really try to make us learn our lesson and stick us with Maxx Crosby as well

That reminds me of what Bruschi said a couple weeks ago that there are some people in that building that know a lot less about football than they think and should be cut from the player picking process.

Yes, bru is still very close to Bill and still connected to the organization. He knows what's up and likely told Vrabel.

Typical New England fan drama queens can't stop themselves.

How dare you!!

Until I see actual evidence of wrongdoing, I am going to assume that the villain here is an angry, shamed, butthurt Jerrod Mayo. He wasn't smart enough, or organized enough, or conscientious enough to do the job, and he got fired, for cause. There is plenty of evidence Robert acted the doddering old fool in mismanaging the hire, but the assertion here is of actual violation of law or of NFL regulations. Show me the evidence and I'll believe it. Until then, I'm gonna call it yet another in a long line of whiny, petty "victim" scams on the part of a guy who should not have been hired in the first place.

Terrible! I fainted when I read it

I just find it really funny that this forum started hating Brady. Then Belichick and then Kraft lol

Maybe high taxes isn't what's keeping FAs away from the Pats.

Kraft deserves criticism. Brady and Belichick don't.

To be honest I wonder how much of this is just from fans who liked the toxic Mayo era a little too much and need to keep creating drama around the team to feed their addiction.

 

[1960Pats]

It was DEI. Robyn and Jerod were both DEI hires. So it’s Biden’s fault. Or Obama’s. Anybody but Trump’s.

You're not only in the wrong thread but you're also on the wrong website. Ian wisely shut down the political talk about 10 years ago.

The funny thing is that there's no actual evidence of anything at all. Just a bunch of conjecture that has many fans here spinning in circles. Until I see something then this whole thing has been about nothing.

I was a fan of Mayo as a player and was pulling hard for him as the HC. That may have blurred my vision until it was beyond obvious that he was in way over his head. But you can't blame him for taking the job. He probably thought he could do it.

The mistake was made by Kraft, and many of the fans here (I wasn't one of them) saw that right from the start.

I would think attorney-client privilege is only applicable when the attorney is still your attorney. If they resign and then bring litigation against you, I don’t think you can demand that everything they know by virtue of being your attorney be kept out of court.

I mean, most attorneys would not do such a thing but if she’s committed and wants to ruin her career then I think she can try.

Of course I’m not an attorney either so I could be wrong.

No. Attorney Client privilege means that anything she learned while being his attorney is covered permanently. The real question is whether or not she was actually his attorney, which I doubt she was. He would have to be paying her to be his attorney. The simple fact that she is an attorney doesn’t mean or cover anything. The same would go if she was being paid to represent the Patriots, which once again I doubt is the case.

As for Mayo II think Grilled Cheese served up a Nothing Burger. There isn’t even any smoke here, let alone a fire. The only person who harmed Jerod Mayo’s reputation is Jerod Mayo. He wasn’t ready to be an NFL head coach, and if he’s really interested in becoming one some day should go take a High School job, spend the next 20 years learning how to coach, then try again someday when he actually knows what he’s doing.

I never thought it would work, but I tried to be open-minded about it. And, no , I don't blame a guy for taking the job of a lifetime. Once he got the job, though, it became clear that he really had made no effort at preparing himself for the job, did a lazy, half-assed work from day one, and spewed an endless line of ******** about it. If there is any truth to this story, or any other indication that he is playing the whiny punk about a failure to which he certainly contributed, I say to hell with him.

This has been a pattern of Bob’s and I said this offseason stories about Mayo would surface after his firing to make the Kraft’s look better or it wasn’t their fault.

Look how the bad mouthing of Mayo has stopped.

I don’t think they needed much PR to get everyone onboard with the Mayo firing.

We will see once the truth is out.

I imagine Vrabel wanted any of these distractions, whatever they are cleaned up before he took the job. Things just seem better organized and professional with Vrabel now. It was a clown show last year.

I agree! It just feels like a much more organized operation. I feel more confident In the direction of the team. I feel like we will be a much better team next year

 

[Huckleberry1]

I mean if he told to lose and was fired because he won then just my opinion but I think Mayo was in the right by not purposely losing. If there’s proof of this then Kraft is in trouble

I believed that in the Flores/Ross case. The NFL proved me wrong, they did NOTHING .
