Thanks, Nitro.

I will be tweeting this picture to several people on twitter. Thanks to the member on here that probably made it. Lets make it viral and trending.. link it to all news outlets too.

It took about 90 seconds on memegenerator.net to make it, so I can't take too much credit. Hope it circulates!

If anyone wants to make additional Kraft memes, you can do it here, it's super easy: http://memegenerator.net/RobertKraft

Here's another one:

If Bob was in your grand daddy's foxhole, you'd be speaking German and watching Bayerne Munich futball right now

Kraft and Goodell embrace. Buddies to the end, eh Robert?

It would be one thing if Kraft said nothing over the past few months and came to this decision; there would be grumbling but at least he would not be viewed as inconsistent, misleading and somewhat of a fraud. This 180 degree turn in a matter of hours is a slap to the fan base unintentional or not. The only way this makes sense is if the draft pick(s) is restored AND Brady's suspension is overturned. Brady will likely win his NFLPA appeal so Kraft's turtling to the Wells report he was apoplectic over only days before defies logic.

Of course its too late now to appeal the draft pick forfeiture because Kraft turtled to stay in good graces with the other billionaires. Ironic in that many of these owners barely contain their glee whenever the Pats are accused of ANY transgression, no matter how big or small, real or imagined. Some of these same owners employ and / or give the wink and the nod to their underlings to cry foul to the NFL about issues that would be virtually ignored if it was another team.

Kraft had his reasons but please Bob don't be a hypocrite. Don't piss on our leg and tell us its raining...don't confuse our loyalty for stupidity.

I really want to photoshop Krafts head into the Lion on The Wizard of Oz. But settled for the below

Dear Mr. Kraft:

I congratulate you on making such a difficult decision to not challenge the horrific fines imposed on the Patriot organization. I know you will be labeled a traitor for your truly non-patriotic decision - much like the British when the tea was thrown overboard. But what many Patriot fans fail to realize is that this was a true business decision. The other owners did not want you to do anything that would shoot the 'golden goose'. It's all about money and making money in an unregulated business like the NFL is like having your own mint. If you had pursued this grievance in the federal courts, I'm sure there would have been congressional hearings and even federal regulation and that is the last thing the owners want as it would certainly impact earnings. And even the fines are likely a tax write-off so there not really a big deal.

What I have some difficulty is understanding all the sacrifice you most certainly have undertaken in making this decision. What with getting publicly booed at every media event, with suffering a boycott of all your corporate products, and the public shame earned by admitting the fines are acceptable (and thereby the Patriots are guilty), it must be hard to live with yourself. But the continuance of the revenue stream is more important. Right?

So since this was a business decision, all your players will understand it perfectly and will have no feelings that you don't support them. And this even after you challenged Mr. Goodall to make an apology and then when he threw the book at you and your quarterback, you chose to side with the owners vice players and fans.

I hope you have many restful nights and can live with your conscious.

WillDee

Only one critique on the letter, you forgot the paragraph about --That he should resign immediately in favor of Jonathan. And that he obviously has become senile. but before he goes he should at least give us the full public apology he was supposed to get from go-to-hell.

 

[everlong]

The letter is well written and concise but just not harsh enough for my tastes.

 

[#12]

So disappointed in Kraft.

I just cant come around to see how this benefits Brady's appeal.

 

[Patstopia]

Enjoy the booing the rest of your life Krafty. You really outdid yourself this time. Way to drop trough!

 

[pdangle]

Signed

Already emailed the Kraft group email requesting a refund on all patriots gear I purchased after the Super Bowl win.

If Kraft is going to accept they cheated the nfl, then he'll need to accept that he cheated the fans and I want my money back.

Never mind cheated the fans, just say you cannot bring yourself to wear gear of admitted cheaters. It's the same F'in thing. F.U. Kraft. Signed, your loving nephew - Mikey "bubbeleh" Kraft.

 

[Zuma]

Step now now Mr. Kraft....Patriot fans demand it. You have failed us.

 

[lurker1965]

Robert Kraft, I know you don't care, but I've spent 14 or 15 years defending the team, be it the tuck rule, "system" QB, spygate, and now. If you won't defend yourself, I won't do it for you. If someone says all the super Bowls they won are because they cheated, I'll just nod and think it is what you wanted.

I'll wait until I see if their is some sort of agreement where the league gives back the draft picks or you bank roll the Jastremski law suit or whatever. Failing that, when Brady goes, I go.

Robert Kraft's decision to turn his belly up to Roger Goodell damages the New England Patriots brand. Through his actions, Kraft betrayed the trust of the New England Patriots fanbase. Instead of fighting tooth and nail to defend the innocence of his franchise, apparently Kraft will try to find comfort in bigger dollar signs. Meanwhile the Patriots legacy as 4-time Superbowl Champions is permanently damaged.

By capitulating early, Kraft hopes to avoid 'tarnishing' the image of the NFL league offices, stating his 'respect' for Commissioner Goodell, even though those very same league offices had no problem in not only tarnishing the reputation of the Patriots but dragging it through the mud by using false leaks, indignant and inaccurate accusations, and commissioning a 5 million dollar exercise in sophistry aka the 'Wells Report' to support its pre-determined findings that the Patriots cheated at the AFC Championship game and that the Patriots franchise quarterback is a cheater as well.

Well done, Mr Robert Kraft. It's hard to imagine anyone else doing more damage to his own brand then you just did in one day of work.
