[BadMoFo]

Sources: Patriots' Kraft denied again in HOF bid

Robert Kraft, who had been considered a favorite for the 2025 class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, has missed out again, sources told ESPN.

But yet that clown Jerraaaah is in.

Pushing aside the greatest coach of all time for an unqualified ass kissing empty suit should put a permanent end to Kraft’s Hall of Fame fantasy.

Lol, he lost out to a person whose name nobody - even those in the business - recognizes.

I can't help but think that was a not-so-subtle message to Mr. Kraft.

"It's a huge surprise," said one source, who insisted on anonymity. "And it's very disappointing. Unless you are an NFL historian, you don't know who Ralph Hay is."​

Honest question, outside of owning the pats and revolution, what has krafty done outside of those teams? Aside from the Myra Kraft giving back assistance fund of course, is there anything else community oriented? Jerrah should not be in it and kinda surprised the dude they let in this year wasn’t already in…If he hasn’t done much else, maybe that’s why? Kraft trying to get himself in may have annoyed the powers that be and this is his punishment. Unfortunately he probably won’t get in until he passes…

TV contracts......I think this is ridiculous. I am not the biggest RK fan, but he deserves to get in. I suspect this is payback for 6 rings, Spygate and ball tampering.....jealousy

Honestly? Good.

I’ve lost massive respect for RKK the past few years and it had begun to feel like he cared more about the HOF than putting a competitive team and staff on the field.

Maybe this pisses him off enough to actually try now.

Brady is the only one of the three that moved on with dignity after the dynasty

That is just not true. Belichick has handled himself with a lot of class inspite of RK putting him down at every turn. Just because he has made some remarks recently on how the team is playing etc does not mean that he has not handled himself with class. He is in the media now, so it is his job to comment. I guarantee that if Brady was not a minority owner of the Raiders he would have had some comments. He is not allowed to comment negatively about any team so he keeps quiet. That was part of his deal when he was approved for a stake in the Raiders.

Not a happy ending this time. Getting jerked around

I did not know that Hay was not in the HoF. Noone deserves it compared to him as far as an owner. Dude basically started the NFL and is the reason the HoF is in Canton.

 

[NE_Zealot]

I don’t care if owners make the HOF. If they hold Bill or Tom up then I’ll be pissed

 

[Clonamery]

What a kick in the nads.

Sure, sure. Guy didn’t want to pay his players. Totally ahead of his time.

Pushing aside the greatest QB of all time for an over the hill empty QB should put a permanent end to Bill’s Hall of Fame fantasy.

 

[NashuaPats]

He sucked up to the league to no avail. I think we should get the first round pick back that we were robbed of due to Deflategate.

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

Not sure how I feel about this
RK is the owner of the Greatest NFL Dynasty
He negotiated hard to halt a few potential Players Association strikes

Letting TB leave. Trashing BB. Rub n Tug Gate etc., and most of all how he kicked TB to the curb in Defaltegate is a bad look and poor decision making
If Jerry Jones made it should be a slam dunk for RK

This has to tug at him and his family who wants him to get his bust. Not sure what can be done to massage over any ill perception among the selection committee.

 

[signbabybrady]

Owners getting in seems like rich guys buying their way in but it's something that gets done so Kraft belongs in as much as any other owner.

Here's to hoping Rodney, Vince, and Adam don't get snubbed too.
