I’m not quite sure what a “great answer to patriots season” means so I can’t really answer that.
Huh????DOES DIKEMBE LOOK TO BE IN A GAMING MOOD
Did you at some point in your life purchase the rights to the old Patriots uniforms, and do you stand to be very rich should they go back to wearing them regularly?
He's Clive Rush. He never died.Perhaps APF = Phil Bissell?
Meh, I'm just sharpening up for the playoffs.
But, it's like this:
The Celtics were miserable, and finished at the bottom of the standings from 1977-79. Attendance plummeted. Say Red Auerbach went ahead and defected to the Knicks. John Y. Brown then destroys their logo and uniforms. After folding the Lobsters, Bob Kraft buys the Celtics, and plays up the whole "New Start!" nonsense. After a mediocre decade, including one fortunate conference title, Kraft in 1990 declares that Joe Barry Carroll is better than Bill Russell. I'm getting sick just typing this.
Indeed, when I asked Steve Nelson about it, he said, "It's all about the money."
Really? Kraft's net worth today is $6.6 billion.
It would be at least $8 billion if he restored the real logo and uniforms.
Massachusetts has the fifth highest cost of living in the nation. People who are able to live here go to local sports venues, and spend their disposable income on tickets, food and souvenirs - no matter how stupid or ugly they are.
I've said it before - all the people who had no problem with the destruction in 1993 neither knew nor cared anything about the New England Patriots before. Or, they focused only on the losses, amplified exponentially by local and national media.
There are a LOT of alienated old Pats fans just like me, who never have nor will purchase anything with the flying elvis on it. Plus, the flying elvis accomplished one thing above all: perpetrating the propaganda to the nation that the Patriots were so pitiful before, that they needed one of those bush league, loser, desperate ugly logo and uniform changes [the kind the Jets are implementing in 2019], erasing the pride and honor of all those Patriots heroes over 33 years.
So Kraft has spent uncounted $millions promoting the flying elvis. If he wanted the most money, he blew it. If he wanted the Patriots to be respected on the same level as prior NFL dynasties, ditto.
