Reactions To Kraft 's Presser Dropping the Fight.

[farn]

Completely agree.

If you're angry. Hurt him emotionally. Get a bunch of fans to stand outside Gillette and let him know how you feel.

I've already stated what I'm going to do, thanks. You can live with your own choices, knowing that they're shameful from a principles standpoint. I'll live with mine, knowing that they may not be quite as principled as they should be, but they're not that far from it.

As I said, we each deal with our own conscience.

Is there an official e-mail to the Patriots' PR department so I can give voice dissatisfaction?

Yup

I should have recognized that the Board is too emotional right now to distinguish between conjecture and opinion. I observed an event, and then conjectured what I believed was going down. In no way did that represent my desired outcome. And the comment about everyone wants to get this behind us is valid, should a scenario such as no suspension for Brady in lieu of small fine + return of the 1at round draft pick + Goodell acknowledgment that the NFL was Not without sin be in the deal. Let the historians repair the rest of the taint against TB and the Patriots....especially if Goodell is ultimately banished for continued poor judgment.

Again, it's obvious. How does Brady actually benefit from this? He'd have beaten this in court. Now, any reduction/elimination in punishment will just be filed under "He's guilty, and his boss took the fall for it.".

I'm beyond mad right now. Kraft is a goddamn coward.

BB/Brady are this team. Not this sellout.

 

[bogey888]

No, hurting him emotionally would be holding a sign saying "Myra would be ashamed"

Doubt it ... Kraft and Goodell were practically sucking face on a couch today if reports are correct.

Says the guy offering both conjecture and opinion, and clearly not understanding how history often works...

Ben Volin ? @BenVolin


Robert Kraft just walked past with a big smile. Looks like some weight has been taken off his shoulders


I want to throw up

It would be best if you went ahead and threw up on Ben Volin.

 

[Twentytothree]

His entire legacy is that of cheating

The only legacy he cares about is at his bank.

It doesn't matter, because the worst thing of all is now happening.
After the NFL announced there was no tie to Brady, every observer out there is saying obviously there was.
See the bottom of this:

http://blog.masslive.com/patriots/2015/05/robert_kraft_will_not_appeal_p.html

So Benedict Kraft has effectively stepped in and accepted the worst punishment in history for something that didn't happen, and in the process destroyed Tom Brady's legacy by creating the widespread belief that Kraft needed to step in and take the punishment because Brady was guilty, and now Brady won't have to show his phone in court, which would have proven his guilt.

Brady was getting the suspension wiped out without Kraft, but now Kraft has created the perception that it is wiped out because of his friendship with Goodell putting the fix in instead of innocence.

I cannot think of a single way Kraft could have handled this worse.

One word noticably missing from that press conference: Brady

 

[Bella*chick]

I think anyone in the vicinity who can should do what the barstool guys did only in front of Kraft's office.

The 300 Spartans had their traitor "Ephialtes" means nightmare in Greek. He betrayed his homeland, in hope of receiving some kind of reward from the Persians, by showing the Persian forces a path around the allied Greek position at the pass of Thermopylae, which helped them win the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC.

Your team , your fans....a bit more difficult to put up the good fight. nice to know you have players and fans back.

Btw I don't know if it is so much about the money as about power, comradery the good ole boys. Probably a heroes welcome in the owners room.

My only point was you not going to anymore games won't hurt Bob in any way. Hey I'm pissed too. I suppose maybe me not living anywhere near the Boston area makes it more bearable for me.

I live in Iowa. No one really cares about the NFL around here. I'm not constantly getting ridiculed for being a Pats fan on a regular basis. So maybe it's a whole different perspective for me. There may be more of a personal attachment for those living in the area, so I can understand that it may be different for others point of view.

Simple and eloquent, 15 years of work and glory have been replaced by negativity and a gutless owner...how the mighty have fallen.

 

[Bella*chick]

I'd like to thank the coach especially and TB12 for giving me the best years of my life as a sports fan. I won't forget them.

"Although I might disagree with what is decided, I do have respect for the commissioner and believe that he’s doing what he perceives to be in the best interest of the full 32"


Not even a hint of defiance.
