Though, even if true why should I care? Go Pats!
@AtomicDawg - be careful posting that. We don't want to get @Ian in trouble with the copyright cops. Maybe just post the first one and let people read the rest of the thread on twitter.
I only read the opening portion and it's absolute garbage. This hack journalist cherry picks the overblown incident of Brady briefly snapping at McDaniels on the sideline vs the Bills, as: "the culmination of months of significant behind-the-scenes frustrations".
Seth should be ashamed of himself for having written that article. If journalism was like the real world, he'd get fired for having done such shoddy work.
Typical playoff NE drama. Nothing to see here imo.It's almost all 2nd-3rd hand gossip, innuendo and rank speculation. It also ignores facts (see the Lynch/BB phone call story) that would undercut the claims. It could be the truest story ever written, but it would still be lousy work.
No need to wait until 8am. They've released should you care to read it:
For Kraft, Brady and Belichick, is this the beginning of the end?
Shall we hit the jouralist with a thunderbolt?Someone gave me a link that I'll post later. But after reading this.....

That article was the dumbest thing I’ve ever read. The usage of general words like “staffers” and “teammates” isn’t credible enough to believe anything. He spent an entire ****ing article with "Patriot staffer" and "coaches" and "teammates" just to say that he has no idea if he will leave.
And he says a dozen staffers but I'm having a hard time believing high level staffers in the know at any capacity would have the time to sit down for an interview or that BB would let them. It's literally just gossip and hearsay. Beating a dead horse.

Apparently this guy can read Brady's mind and affirm that his anger wasn't actually about McDaniels... or Cooks... or what happened on that drive.
I'll give this Wickersham guy some credit. I didn't expect this hit piece to begin with such wild sophistry and absurdity right off the bat.
I know everyone wants to totally dismiss this, and normally I'd be inclined to agree. But when Curran and Reiss, both of whom are among the most trustworthy and well-connected reporters to the team, haven't totally dismissed the rift around Guerrero or Kraft's influence in the Jimmy G trade, I wonder. Because it's Wickersham, I expect it to be like the article from earlier in the year--a lot of sentences written to sound more flammable than they really are, some distorted stuff and fuel for Pats haters, but perhaps some truth too (As was the case with Guerrero).
$$$$$ and Ownership stake for a guy who has about a tenth the resume as Bill.Why?
Long term was it the right decision? We shall see. But Kraft likely saw the fan reaction to benching Eli Manning and wanted to avoid such strife among the fan base and in the locker room
