If I'm reading that last story right, the Patriots only owe $71 million in debt. That means Kraft has paid most of it down.

That's big news.

This is long-term debt which he probably does not have to paydown anytime soon. The $71m of debt is not really the problem. They big news in the article is the super-high interest rate he has to pay (which was sparked by the subprime mortgage crisis last August). The good part is that a new rate is determined every 7-days. They bad news is that the rate may get worse given the current condition of the short-term lending market. Kraft can probably switch to a fixed rate issue which will make things more stable for him in the short term. Given the unknown write-downs banks have coming in the next few months (putting further scare in the debt markets) it might be a good idea to get out the auction security market.

Thank you for clarifying that. I thought that might be the case--just not sure....
