PATRIOTS NEWS Parsing Krafty Bob's Statement

[ReverendMaynard]

Is there really any need to parse baldfaced lies?

On a scale of 1 to 10, how strongly worded is this?

No one forced Bobby to do all the hugging with Goodell. No one forced Bobby to repeatedly say what a great job Goodell is doing. No one forced Bobby going into last year's opener to say "I hope the players who deserve to play, play" instead of saying something like "What the NFL is doing to Tom is a travesty and I darn well expect him to be playing in the opener". And on and on and on.

Krafty is deservedly reaping from the fans what he has sown.

It's not about failure to sue the league. I agree that would have been pointless.

It's about being a spineless pathetic suckup in almost everything he has said and done on this.

 

[Ring 6]

To be fair, he's in a tough spot, but I also think this isn't a situation that you straddle the fence. He needs to subtly take shots at all of those involved in the attempted framejob.

Harbaugh (diabolical, phony big mouth), Pagano, Grigson (mouth breathing idiot), Irsay (drug riddled BUM), Bisciotti (slimeball), etc, etc.

Can you imgaine being at the Onwers/GM Meetings and being int he same room as these people knowing what they did?

I would have boycotted the whole thing.

Kraft is too nice and way too political for my liking, but I figured he'd back Brady's endeavors here 100%, where I was fearful Goodell's lobbying to shut Brady up might end this. Glad it hasn't.

Take them down.

Why is it a tough spot. Say this:


Tom Brady is 100% innocent. The Commissioner of our league has stated that he believes Tom Brady is a cheater and a liar. I take personal offense that someone on the payroll of this league would make such ridiculous, unfounded and ignorant comments. Today, I call for the Commissioner to revoke all punishment against Tom Brady, and if he does not, I will make it my mission to have him replaced by someone of integrity. I cannot sit back and watch an icon of integrity railroaded by someone who lack the insight to understand 7th grade science. The integrity of our game is being bastardized by punishing an innocent man.

 

[RayClay]

Oh, no question in my mind Goodell paid off Chin and Parker. No question. Chin's comments were especially disturbing.

The best is morons lecturing us that the appeal was about Goodell's absolute powers, when Chin specifically mentioned the faux evidence in the Wells Report.

He was planting the seed and over-dramatizing the manufactured evidence, so when he ruled like he just did, it wouldn't be a shock as to why. That's why his comments during the appeal were so troubling, not to mention Kessler wasn't even allowed to speak. That means Parker and Chin were paid off.

As chief judge, Katzmann, probably wasn't even approached by Goodell.

The problem is, the Wells Report finding were never supposed to be in play. He slipped up, mainly because he was paid off and didn't care. He got sloppy on the bench with his words.

Whoops!

I mean, this whole thing is a bagjob from front to back and it's about the NFL needing parity badly to get Jacksonville to London asap so Sheriff Goebbels can open up the European market because the N. American is clearly well over-staturated.

The Thurs night games are awful, that even as a diehard, I don't care. That's a tell tale sign right there.

Also, anyone who plays fantasy football is playing it now, so there not getting any more eyeballs on their tv screens any more than what they have with people now playing Draft Kings, etc.

They want more football being played at all times, which means different time zones, to maximize the ROI.

It's sick to think about this. Our team, one that 30 years ago would be celebrated as a dynasty for the ages, is being used and lied about to get Jax to London easier to make them all more money.

I've had this nailed for years and was made fun of for it. Not anymore. Jax will never be sold as a competitive team that can get off the ground and maintain to London investors until they actually show they can be good.

Keep an eye on their games this year. Expect lots of bagjobs on orders of Goodell.

Bennett, the player who flew to London last night to announce their pick, wasn't there by accident.

Incredible. This is like a desperate TV network coming up with more and more ridiculous shows.

[VectorPrime]

Hes playing both sides of the aisle but hes not torn.

His loyalty is to the team he owns but his allegiance is to the NFL.

A lot of assumptions, suspect his loyalty is to the bottom line of his product..

While he is roundly criticized for what he did(justifiably so)... how do you think that the Owner of the St. Louis Patriots would have handled it?? Or the Hartford Patriots?? I shudder to think that the majority here would be making a choice of the Giants or Jets as their favorite team..

Somewhere along the line it is time to move on, cannot make anything different..

I moved on a long time ago. I just like to *****.

Bob is taking this to his grave.

Do not see the value of prolonging something that cannot be taken back, Kraft f..ed up pure and simple,and nothing can make that different.. but as I read this thread see terms like "worse owner ever" makes me scratch my head. Seems as though a very serious case of "NE Pats Myopia" has set in, either that or folks have never heard of Al & Mark Davis, Kroenke or any of the other meddling owners who are happy change venues in favor of chasing the sports dollar at the expense of the fan base..

Exactly. My attitude is as long as Krafty leaves BB to all things football I am indifferent to him.

I'm still annoyed at his play on words but whatever.

 

[IllegalContact]

FOTM needs to do this every day or they'll spontaneously combust

Irrelevant as to what FOTM believes.....if Brady has no issue with Kraft then FOTM is just pissin in the wind

 

[signbabybrady]

Goodell did not pay off 2 federal judges good lord.

Let's put it this way it is more probable than Brady ordering one tenth of a degree of air be deflated.

I don't know about taking it to the grave but I will not let my anger go at least until Brady stops the fight. While things seem slim right now there is still a chance things get righted. And when they do I expect Kraft will give a public mpology. And until then I see no reason to let up on anyone in this fiasco.

 

[james87654]

I have always liked Kraft

I think he is a good man......even now........a good owner

but he could use a little more backbone sometimes.....a little more al davis

and a little less "go along to get along".....he is too enamored with being part of the billionaires club

but often in life, the ties of Social status are stronger than nationality or anything else other than maybe immediate family

No one forced you to come to this site to cry and whine about the team Kraft owns either.

*****ing and whining about the owner of a sports team from behind a keyboard on a site devoted to the team he owns is also pretty spineless IMO.

It's entertainment. No small children have been harmed.

 

[YOUGOTMOSSED]

Goodell did not pay off 2 federal judges good lord.

In this day and age, no one is stupid enough to hand over a bag of money to a judge. It doesn't work like that. The last NY judge stupid enough to try was Victor Barron back in 2003. The lawyer was wired when the deal went down.

That said. If you have the political connections and inclinations, there are ways to make deals with just about any judge in ways that aren't traceable. I'm sure Clement has both the connections and no compunctions about it.

Why do you think Clement charges $1,100/hour when industry standard is usually $250-300/hour? For his super charming personality?

Parker is a Yale legacy so he probably has some connection to one of these goofball secret societies like the Skull and Bones that are custom made for backroom deals. Chin is some gully rat from Hong Kong so Lord knows who he's in bed with and what political connection got him to where he is today.

 

[1960Pats]

Kraft is playing both sides and not doing a very good job with one of them. He has made it very clear from the start which side he's on and has since he pushed to have Goodell installed as dictator.

This whole fiasco is about the owners having control over the players and Kraft wants to have it both ways. He's lucky that TB is the type of person who respects authority and is all about winning games.

 

[Mack Herron]

I'm a fan, just like you! The commish does a great job! I'm behind Tom 100%! I just want to be loved.
