20 Questions to send Kraft & Sons

[ReverendMaynard]

I gave you the exact situation the Patriots and Kraft are in and asked you to show me an example of another owner that faced it and won.

BTW, Al Davis sued the NFL several times

No other owner that we know of has been faced with this exact situation.

I know Al Davis sued the league several times. He even won at least once. And, up until he lost his faculties in the 2000s his teams enjoyed the highest winning % in the league and won 3 championships. Much, much better owner for his team than Kraft could ever dream of being.

You seem to want to judge Kraft on something that is typically out of the realm of NFL team ownership.

Give me an example of an owner whose team was hated by almost all other owners AND successfully stood up against the commissioner and all the other owners.

Likely only Al Davis will come to mind...and Kraft is better than Davis

Kraft's job is to put the best team on the field and provide an atmosphere where fans enjoy watching their team....oh, and he even paid for Gillette out of his own pocket unlike most of the other greedy sob's

Kraft played a very large role in making the commissioner what he is today. So, any way you cut it, Kraft is to blame here. Kraft propped up Goodell after Spygate even when the punishments were unfair and the team was being railroaded. Kraft propped up Goodell in the wake of every major controversy since he's taken office, going so far as to praise the job he did in the wake of the Ray Rice incident. Kraft is a huge reason why Goodell was earning $44M and is also in charge of determining Goodell's pay going forward. I'd bet he'll still be looking at a nice payday. Kraft, TWO DAYS AGO, praised the job Goodell has done saying that he's been "great for the league". This was after the guy docked the Pats two draft picks, money, and has gone out of his way to smear one of the major reasons Kraft's franchise is as successful as it is. And this is all because Kraft did not want to get ignored at the table with the rest of the owners. He admitted as much himself.

And, even through this, the guy still cannot bring himself to say that Brady did nothing wrong. Not just that Goodell has done a horrible job and needs to be replaced, that his own franchise quarterback and GOAT did absolutely, positively nothing wrong. He talks around the issue as if he's a politician up for re-election. Here's an example of how bad Goodell has been: this is only something that's typically out of the realm of team ownership because Goodell's predecessor was actually a quality commissioner and didn't make this up as he went along. There's literally very little precedent out there because no commissioner, not just in the NFL, but also in the history of every major American professional spot, as been so inept.
